We have just returned from a enjoyable but slightly disappointing stay at Monte Do Casal. We had booked a double standard room with bed and breakfast for two nights through Travel Republic at fairly short notice . We arrived early for check in which seemed to throw them and although the receptionist took our bags we were left to our... more

My wife and I enjoyed a wonderfully restorative holiday at Monte do Casal. My wife had undergone a year of surgery and gruelling treatments she was suffering from extreme fatigue and both of us were in need of complete rest and relaxation. I do not believe we could have found a better place to achieve exactly this. By the time... more

My husband and I stayed for a week in this beautiful country house hotel. It was the first time in thirty years that we checked into a hotel and did not leave it for seven days - and that was to return to the airport! We loved everything about this hotel from the well appointed bedrooms, delicious food, attentive, professional... more

We have stayed 4 or 5 times, the last being the end September last year just for a few days before our sons (actually 21 & 20) went back to uni....Even when we have booked a villa in the area we some time tag on a few days at the hotel, or we try and pop in for a meal.... more

Having a very busy job, we chose the Monte do Casal with the idea of relaxing, taking some time for ourselves and enjoying a good massage to completely forget about the rest of the world for a... more

I booked the Monte do Casal for two nights as a birthday suprise for my husband. In fact he didn't even know where he was flying to until we reached LGW. Having booked the hotel direct 6 months before and asked for the stay to be made special, I was really looking forward to the visit. However, as soon as... more

In August this year my friends and I returned for yet another visit to Monte do Casal and enjoyed a blissful, relaxing and absolutely luxurious 10 days. Having stayed in many of the generic ‘luxury’ hotels in the Middle East region in the past 10 years that I’ve lived here, I find it is the collection of small but perfect... more

Currently staying at the Monte do Casal. Beautiful fantastic place. Food exceptional. We made a pact that we would never return to the same hotel twice and have been fortunate to travel to 5 star hotels all over the world. We now know we will have to make an exception and will be back to the Monte Do Casal as... more

We stayed at Monte do Casal in July and had the good fortune to arrive at the time of one of their "house Party weekends". We stayed in a double room which had two huge terraces on which our magnificent breakfasts were served. Oh what luxury to munch through our meal overlooking the beautiful gardens with distant glimpses of the... more
