Julie O'Rourke's Road Trip Through Portugal Has Us Dreaming of Summer | Bon Appétit

"Along the way, we stayed in the most beautiful hotel: theSão Lourenço do Barrocal, which is in a former olive farming village. You can ride bikes and horses through the olive groves, and out your window you can see a medieval castle high up on a mountain: Monsaraz. People bike up to the top to tour the castle and wander the village’s cobblestone streets. Be sure to get an espresso and a little pastry atCasa Tial, a gourmet grocery store that also sells beautiful olive oils and sardines." - ByJulie O'Rourke

Lovely old castle well worth the visit. Kept in it's original form so narrow steps and walkways. Not covered in safety barriers so you explore at your own risk. Beautiful village too with little cafes and gift shops.

This castle is really worth a visit. Great lake views, interesting history and architecture. Nearby, a beautiful street with cafés and shops selling local products.

I was expecting something good, but it was unexpectedly superb! Amazing views from all the Alentejo Valle, a cozy historical village and a surprisingly well preserved castle in between. Not to mention the delicious traditional Portuguese food and drink and their unmatched hospitality. Definitely coming back for more.

Beautiful castle. Like old town Evora without the masses of tourists. Every nook and cranny was interesting to see. Think of this as a museum not a city, very few shops/ places to eat.

A beautiful small town of whitewashed houses and cobbled streets on the top of a hill with great views over the surrounding countryside.

A must see. A beautiful small village nestled inside a castle wall. Once you walk to the tower and climb the metal stairs it is amazing to see

Beautiful castle with a great church inside. Nice pottery shop inside. Free camper parking super close.

Free to enter and always open. Definitely worth visiting though I am not sure how safe some of the walls are
