Monsanto is enchanting. We stayed one night but an extra night would have been ideal. The apartment is basically built into massive boulders with lots of rustic charm and unlike any B&B. Snacks, drinks and fruit were stocked for breakfast and fresh bread arrived in the morning. Sunday night in Monsanto was extremely quiet once the sun went down. We could only find one restaurant open which was a bit pricey and meat-centric. Instead we found a small café, bought a few beers and made due with fruit and cheese for dinner. Just something to keep in mind for your planning. The B&B has a small kitchen so very easy to prepare a simple meal. Finding this place is challenging. As in other reviews, it is recommended to park at the entrance of Monsanto (small lot by the cannons or on the hill leading to town) and walk to the Villa with a backpack of essentials. Do not walk a wheelie suitcase into town. We messaged the host about an hour out and upon arriving to Monsanto spotted the car with the Villa logo and hailed it. We were walked to the apartment and given the keys. The views from Monsanto are breathtaking. One can walk up to the castle ruins and watch the sunset and wander around. Enjoy the cobblestone streets, flowers, cats, wild rock formations and endless views.
