Viva! Farmhouse

A relaxed atmosphere with people who really care about your welfare.

We have spent an afternoon and 1 night at this new bed and breakfast and we could not have been welcomed any better! Suzanna and the team are super nice, the place is lovely and the food is AMAZING! The deco is beautiful, the rooms are clean and neat and the pool is a slice of heaven for the warm days. Definitely going back another weekend!

Loved this place. Only open a few weeks, and definitely NOT a "motel" experience. The owners are lovely folks - I was sitting outside in the evening having a cup of coffee and they invited me in to share a glass of wine with them and their friends. Room decor was very fresh and breakfast was great too. Highly recommended

A thoroughly enjoyable stay - rooms large and attractively furnished, owners extremely friendly, tasty breakfast and peaceful setting.

Viva!Farmhouse is at the edge of the village and when coming from the direction of the village you will see just the side of the building with the name sign, follow Google maps and you will find the parking by turning right, there is plentiful parking. The farmhouse has been wonderfully and generously renovated, there is large kitchen that guests can use and on the mezzaine level the breakfast tables. Real care and attention to detail has been paid throughout the property, there is a communal lounge with two huge comfy sofas and a couple of snugs that we seemed to be the only guests to use. The number of ‘self help’ and ‘feel good’ books around the property made me smile, particularly as it is such a friendly and relaxing environment you can’t help feeling good throughout your stay. The rooms are well decorated with Netflix access and modern bathrooms. I really liked the skylight well above the shower, and the entire property is spotlessly clean. We were in Room 4 and leaning out the window you can see the castle on the hill above you. We holidayed in November, so did not use the pool but had generous proportions and sun loungers given the number of guests. The pot bellied pig that bustles round the car park in the morning and the cats give it the farmhouse feel. The hosts are very friendly and welcoming. Breakfast was excellent, everything bought to the table, with lovely fruit, bread, meats and a hot options. Delicious. It is a good location to drive up to Monsaraz from here and there are a couple of local restaurants within walking distance (e.g. Foral MDXII), although the well-rated Restaurant Sem Fim was closed whilst we were there, which was quite ironic. There are additional restaurant options in Monsaraz. It was excellent value for money, welcoming and homely throughout, if we had to point out one criticism and this could be our age, but the mattress was rather hard for a really good night’s sleep.
