Vila Vicosa Hotels from ₹4,095

"The hotel is very pleasant and is located just a few metres from the walled part of the beautiful medieval town of Monsaraz. We were warmly welcomed by Ana, who did her best to accommodate us and even gave us an upgrade. The sunset seen from the beautiful pool area is spectacular. We had dinner at the Sabores de Monsaraz restaurant, which is very close to the hotel, and it was one of the best meals we had in Portugal. "

"Great WiFi service, the hotel situates by the gates inside of the walls! Easy access to everything! Friendly people ! Great food and excellent cheap wine!!!"

"It was right off the main entrance to the town across from the aqueduct-no need to drive up the narrow fortress roads into Elvas city center! Room was sufficient to my needs and lots of tv channels in several languages available. Breakfast buffet was pleasant and included hot scrambled eggs and bacon along with selections of pastries, drink, cereals, and fruit. If I should return to Elvas, I would stay there again-"

"The place is an old ducal palace like a posada but more reasonable price. I wondered around the gardens and pool area, well kept. Lots of other services I did not partake in. Good secure parking, pleasant sitting area near the bar with a very good painting of bulls . Breakfast was good. Only complaint was that the season changed the air conditioning to winter although the outside temperature was near 30, and the window could not be opened , so the room was quite warm for sleeping, "

"Happy with everything"

"Great spacious room with a very comfortable bed. The bathroom was spacious and had toiletries, hair dyer and a bidet. Would not hesitate to return again."

"Great installations, vibe and ambiance of rural Alentejo with chic facilities. Courteous staff. Highly recommend for a two night stay in a calm and tranquil haven. "

"We loved our stay at Octant hotel. It was a relaxing time away from the busyness of a city. We stayed at a villa and loved the private pool. We also loved all the walking trails and got to see a lot of stars at night on the trails. The hotel staff was wonderful and the property was amazing. The hotel food was also good for breakfast and dinner. "

"Did not have breakfast this time as worked out too expensive but many places round the area for coffee and toast"
