Guest reviews for Monte Do Zambujeiro
"A wonderful stay at a lovely property. From the moment we arrived, it was evident that this place was truly special. The unique landscape and intriguing hiking trails added so much charm to our experience, making it all the more memorable. The room we stayed in was impeccably clean. Monica, the host, provided fantastic dinner recommendations that were spot on. Breakfast was great too, with array of local ingredients ensuring there was something for everyone to enjoy. We were so impressed with our experience that we will definitely be returning in the future."

"We had an amazing time. Monica made our stay so special. She made us dinner reservations, a picnic to take on our hike and was so welcoming. Homemade breakfast was a highlight as were the beautiful views. Highly recommend! Accommodation was large, clean and had everything we needed. Family of 5 with little kids-this was their favorite stop on our Portuguese holiday. The hike to the river, the donkey, the tree swing, the pool."
"Loved it all."
"We stayed in the Villa, a smallish one bedroom apartment in one of the original buildings near the pool and breakfast building, which made access very simple. Direct view of river from our bedroom and private patio. (Another guest structure is much further away and is a bit of a walk, so if you have small children or issues walking, pay attention to which room you book). The grounds are very expansive with many hiking trails and picnic areas, even a primitive spring you could hike down to, as well as picnic areas and viewpoints a ways away from the main structures. A donkey and sheep (as well as goats?) can be enjoyed if you’re an animal lover. Very peaceful and quiet. Breakfast was served rather than buffet style, which was a refreshing change as well as complete and high quality with amazing views of the river and countryside."
"Our bed wasn’t the most comfortable, but not a big deal. Some might complain that furniture is dated, but I thought it kind of fit with the vintage style of the old building."
"The ambience of the place was very good and relaxing. Breakfast was excellent - and healthy. The staff and management were friendly and helpful. Booked dinner for us in town - and this proved to be very good."
"Our only criticism was that the mattress was pretty uncomfortable"
"Excellent stay in a quiet and relaxing location. Deluxe suite in a separate house with all you need. Exceptional breakfast. Strongly recommended"

"After spending an amazing two weeks travelling around Portugal we wanted some downtime and space to relax. The accommodation is comfortable and the owner and her staff are amazingly friendly and helpful. Breakfasts are exemplary - a great start to your day. Great views and walks to enjoy."
"Our suite was in a block of four set away from the main building - offering privacy, one assumes. I would have preferred a dividing wall (or at least a privacy screen) between the patios so we could enjoy the loungers and view without having to engage with neighbours. There is a delightful communal pool - but too “busy” with shouting kids for us. But perhaps that’s just us being picky and needing personal /quiet space."
"We loved our stay here, the views across the river are amazing, Monica and her team were brilliant, helpful and friendly. room was great for 2 adults, 2 teenagers, WiFi worked well, breakfast with choice of wonderfully cooked eggs, muesli, fruit, the best coffee (we are vegetarian) enabled a great start in the morning. Best by far was just the location , so serene, swing overlooking the river is beautiful, yet short drive to great beaches and also Vila nova de Milfontes."
"Nothing"
"All surroundings, the place is unique with astonishing views, outstanding breakfast, very nice and friendly staff"

Christiane Sol Dourado
"We were on the Fishermen's trail and only stayed one night and did not really use all the amenities. It's a lovely place and I can highly recommend it. Lovely staff. They also gave us a room upgrade with an amazing view."
Cedric Monte Carvalhal da Rocha
"Very nice place. Very quiet, in the middle of horses. It was so nice to sit on the veranda and soak in the atmosphere. The veranda is also very nicely sheltered from the wind."
Therese SeteQuintas
"super nice hosts, who drove us into town. possibility of hanging out in the main building - with a reading corner and a bar - in the evening, which was very cozy. comfortable bed, hot showers, good breakfast."
Heike Monte do Papa Leguas
"Cosy room.in a traditional old farm building. The table by the swimming pool had a fabulous vista down the valley to Vizela and beyond; perfect for watching the sunset directly ahead whilst bats fly around and sipping the delicious wine made by the family. We regret not bringing some home! The owner went the extra mile for us, for example taking our laundry and ironing even in the middle of a heatwave"
Graham Quinta Da Longra
"We did the Camino and it was right on the Camino trail. Payment is via cash only. The rooms are small but adequate for just one night. Nice place as it has its own vineyard. The caretaker is also very friendly. They provide a pilgrim dinner for 16 euro but we did not do that as we do not eat a heavy dinner. It did look good though."
"This place is so charming and having a kitchen and fireplace made it very nice."
Alison Tapada Flats
"Great experience! Historical site with authentic interior. Super clean!"
Ekaterina Solar Quinta de São Carlos
"The hosts were great. A family-run guest house, good value for money and a great way to experience the local culture. The nearby restaurant they recommended was a real gem."
