Holiday rentals in Monleras

We had a wonderful stay! The hosts were extremely friendly and helpful, giving us several useful directions from the beginning. We felt at home — the space is very comfortable, cozy, well decorated and with everything we needed to enjoy a few quiet days. The Casa do Outro Mundo is, in fact, from another world! A unique place, full of charm and attention to every detail. The village, although small, has a special charm. We were always warmly welcomed by the locals and even our Arya 🐶 made new friends! We recommend it without hesitation and hope to return.

I had the pleasure of staying at Maria Jose's house for a month and I have nothing but words of gratitude. From the first moment, she was absolutely welcoming, kind and cordial, making me feel at home at all times. Their hospitality and warmth really made a difference in my stay. The house is impeccable, cared for down to the last detail, which made my experience even more comfortable and enjoyable. I would definitely be happy to stay with her again in the future. Thank you for everything, Maria Jose!

The host is enthusiastic, the apartment is clean, and the old town is within walking distance. Recommended!

The house is beautiful and the environment idyllic. Close to Salamanca but with all the tranquility of the countryside. Perfect for a getaway to disconnect. Everything was perfect.

This was a magical week spent at Luis’s apartment. We attribute so much of our enjoyment to his engagement with us from the start to even after our stay, making sure we arrived at our following destination. Luis loves his city as evidenced by his passion and knowledge for its history, cuisine, local Toro wine and every detail and event of Semana Santa. Luis and Miriam helped us navigate the city for the week’s events guiding us to the best locations for observing the processions and the best places to enjoy the food and wine of this beautiful city. His apartment is spotless, well equipped and mattresses are very comfortable. The location is superb, close to the historic center and paths along the river. A Birder’s delight crossing the bridge to the river bank path! We have traveled the globe and with over 60 stays in Airbnbs and never has a host spent so much time and effort ensuring our stay and experience was TOP. Luis went above and beyond! MOST HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

Jose’s place, (Pedro is the Son of), has a lovely home in a quiet friendly village. The home was relatively easy to find, (could do with an Airbnb sign on the corner of the property, to help weary travellers). Once arrived and settled in, Jose is a BRILLIANT host, so welcoming, so generous and the home is comfortable and quiet. We enjoyed a meal in a neighbouring town, that Jose, happily booked for us, but there is all the available gear to cook for yourself. The area is close to the Duoro river, and Jose gives so many options for activities for this area. He is very passionate about the history and his town. We would recommend this home to anyone who is in the area.

We felt so lucky to have spent a few days there. Amazing to stay in such a mid century gem, designed by the owner’s architect father. It is quite basic in terms of amenities which adds to its authenticity although cooking is a bit challenging. But the pool is very luxurious. And the home made cheese and daily fresh bread were wonderful. Irene is a kind and friendly host. We could not locate the place but she drove to meet us and lead us there. When a fuse blew one evening (it was extremely hot) she came and fixed it immediately. She could not have been more gracious, we really enjoyed talking with her and hearing about the history of her family and the house. As others have mentioned, the nearest supermarket is about 45 minutes away so be sure to shop on your way. There are two very small refrigerators so bear that in mind when shopping. A truly memorable, special place.

Excellent reception! David was always very responsive and proactive in helping us from the time we arrived until our departure! The house is cozy and is located in a quiet place to relax and unwind! We intend to repeat this wonderful experience!!
