Monsanto GeoHotel Escola

Monsanto, land with a millenary history of coexistence with the barrocals, has preserved a genuine popular architecture, as well as a cultural legacy rich in legends of enchanted moors and fabulous monsters that live inside the rocks. In this way, the Geomorphological Heritage of Monsanto presents an added value due to its human dimensions, so widely known and natural, which seek to reconcile with the perspective of creating relevant tourist products for the Naturtejo Geopark of Meseta Meridional.

During the village of Monsanto’s construction, the blocks in the barrocal were used for house walls, walls, and roads. As a result, the population has always lived closely with the immense granite geoforms, adapting or resigning themselves to the space between them, left by erosion.

A contemporary hotel set in a unique natural landscape, surrounded by geomorphological heritage that has a history spanning over 600 million years.

The Monsanto GeoHotel Escola has ten air-conditioned rooms equipped with LCD television, with a decor that seeks to dialogue with the surrounding natural and cultural heritage; they have a private bathroom that includes toiletries.

Guests benefit from access to the Galo de Prata room, which offers stunning panoramic views, where breakfast is served. The cozy Bar Adufe offers cafeteria services, regional wines and spirits.

The Monsanto GeoHotel Escola is located 25 km from its county seat, Idanha-a-Nova, 50 km from Castelo Branco, 25 km from the border with Spain, in Monfortinho, and 350 km from Madrid.
