Nice place and responsive host, who recomended us very good local restaurants for dinner. Delicious breakfast - fresh croissants, fruit, local cheeses. Rooms are clean and comfortable. Perfect choice.

Review of Monte do Papa Léguas
Reviewed 9 Oct 2019
I echo the good reviews posted by others. Our three hard-working hosts were very friendly and helpful, whilst the accommodation provided everything we needed. The pool, although cool, was very welcome and the gardens prettily laid out. Being a couple of kilometres outside the main village, the hotel was extremely relaxing and peaceful. The only very slight criticism is that the lighting was quite dark, making it difficult to read in the evening.
Breakfast, sitting outside, was a highlight with fruit, cheese, local charcuterie and eggs to order. Unlike most of the guests when we were there, we were not walking the entire Rota Vicentina, but did follow some of the trail along the clifftops. We didn't try the free bikes but cycling into Zambujeira would be very easy. Zambujeira is not a pretty village but is very attractively situated above the rocky cliffs with a good choice of restaurants and shopping facilities. We spent three nights at the hotel whilst exploring the beautiful Alentejo region.

This is a cute, sweet hotel and they were exceptionally helpful at helping us get around and accommodating our need to leave early the next day. I think this hotel is a sweet way to experience coastal Portugal, particularly if you have a car and are staying put for a few days, but for one night along the Rota Vicentina, it was a bit too far off the path along a busy road to be ideal for us.

A very sunny and warm welcome by the host at Monte do Papa Leguas. Great breakfast, all the information we needed was answered. A quiet place where we had a swim a good rest after a long walk on the Rota and a drink.
Thank you Claudia.

The Monte do Papa Leguas was our best run place during our 4 week travel through Portugal. Claudia and team will make your stay perfect. Everything was clean and all staff has been friendly and thoughtful. English, Portuguese and German are spoken - the staff however will be more confident in Portuguese (and a little English) which will do no bad as everything comes from their heart.
The place has around 7 rooms from which 3 are built in an old horse shed. Those come with a kitchenette and do have a special charm. You will not need the kitchenette for breakfast as this is included and worth an additional point (most of you will not need lunch afterwards). You will be served inside and outside.
The place seems small with only 7 rooms but there is plenty of space which is used for the pool, the inside sitting area with a little library, free Wifi, Sat TV, the outside sitting area with a self catering bar, the bicycles, the lawns, the bbq area, the pool, the parking lot...
The location is a about 1-2 km outside of town and a quite spot. Zambujeira do Mar has a wonderful beach and sea front but you will also be close to other lovaly natural spots on the West coast of Alentejo.
We and our baby loved it - thanks again so much for such a wonderful time. We will return for sure on our next trip to Portugal.

We love Zambujeira, so we visit at least once every two years and have tried different places, e.g. Sardanitas, Touril, etc. there is a reason we stayed at papa leguas 4 times: super close to beaches, delicious breakfast, great setting. Rooms are small and basic- but clean. pool needs upgrading, started showing age.
