Where sleep

20th century Casa da Fonte Nova is excellently located by the River Alva in the centre of Vila de Côja, with fine views of the Mata Stream and Serra do Açor. It was recently restored but still maintains its original traits. It has been adapted tastefully with a modern, very cheerful style. It has all the modern amenities so that you can enjoy days of leisure in touch with nature with your family and friends

The Casas da Villa (Houses of the Town) result from a passion for Monsanto, considered to be the most Portuguese village in Portugal; they are also the consequence of their owner’s strong connection to the land. But what makes the Casas da Villa such a special tourism venture is the fact that it was designed to respect its origins, to be at the service of Monsanto, the village and its people. Each one of the Casas da Villa houses is the fruit of a meticulous restoration process, which carefully maintained its original traits – in homage to the region and its history -, to which we added modern comforts to provide a unique and genuine experience. Some of the original stone walls have been protected by “windows”, giving our guests a feel of the essence of the houses without forgoing the contemporary amenities expected these days. The location of the houses, in the heart of Monsanto, provides a unique experience and a splendid horizon that you will not forget! From the terraces of the Casas da Villa, visitors can also enjoy the splendid horizon that surrounds them, in an atmosphere of calm and liberty.

Hidden in Serra da Marofa, in Figueira de Castelo Rodrigo, the Colmeal Countryside Hotel is much more than a 4-star hotel: it is the perfect retreat to find the silence, the hospitality and the delights of Beirã gastronomy, in a historic village surrounded by nature. Rebuilt in line with the local heritage by the architect Pedro Brígida, Colmeal has 11 rooms and 3 country houses, a relaxing SPA and an outdoor pool with water from the mountains that surround the 700 hectares of the farm. At the restaurant, you can also taste the best regional products recreated in recipes with the signature of Chef Vítor Sobral, accompanied by the unique aromas of Silêncio, white or red wine, produced locally. On foot or by bicycle, Colmeal invites you to walk the old paths of the shepherds and discover the history of the village, the landscape of the mountains, the flight of birds, the rock paintings, the streams and, above all, the silence nature's infinite. Through visits organized by the region, we can take you to discover the rock engravings of Foz Côa, take a boat trip through the Douro International, visit the Faia Brava reserve, walk through Riba Côa, watch the water birds in the Santa Maria de Aguiar dam or visit the historic village of Castelo Rodrigo, one of the 7 wonders of Portugal.
