Romantic location to stay

Friendly staff
After our stay I got an email from them that we forget our iPad and if they could send it to us (although cost with 87 euro where pretty high)

I liked the little room a lot, it might not have been spacious but it didn't lake anything and the view was amazing. If you can you should stay for a few days and enjoy the village and the surrounding area

Quinta do Barrieiro had been recommended to us by friends and it did not disappoint. Our room was lovely and spacious and the bed extra comfy. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful and the farm dog was so gorgeous! Even though we went during winter it was still a great spot for a lovely break.

We stayed at Quinta d'Abegoa's apartment, Casa do Souto, which is very cosy and ideal for two people. Everything is really well thought out so the apartment felt bigger than it actually was. The bed is very comfortable and the shower is excellent. The outside space is beautiful - we loved sitting out, listening to the birds and the bells from the sheep, while enjoying the views of the both the castle and over towards the mountains and Spain. We made the most of being able to walk to restaurants in Marvao (although it is uphill all the way!) but we also cooked at the property - the kitchen is tiny but is very well-equipped and has everything you need to self-cater. Our host, Rosa, looked after us extremely well, bringing us breakfast every day, and nothing was too much trouble. We love the area around Marvao and will definitely return for another stay at Casa do Souto.

We stayed at Dom Dinis, overlooking the valley below, in December 2023. Hardly any tourists, wonderfully friendly area. Be sure to visit the church (Igreja de Santiago) of which Saramago wrote on his journey around Portugal! We ate at the excellent Varanda do Alentejo, the lamb stew was fantastic.

The castle is a must see.
The castle is a must see. The views from all directions were unobstructed and gave one the feeling of what it must have been like centuries before when the castle was used as a defensive weapon. Well worth the trip and one had access to almost the entire outer wall.

We stayed in Marvão for 3 days, 2 nights and spent the days touring around. I HIGHLY recommend taking the biking tour with Rail Bike Marvão, it's 16km through the heart of Marvão's nature.
I also HIGHLY recommend you visit the small town or Castelo de Vide.

Amazing old town and stunning castle and scenery. So quiet and relaxing. Even though we have been in the castle and museum, we intend to come back and do it all again because it was such an enjoyable experience.

Just being here gives a lift to the soul!
Just being here gives a lift to the soul! It is beautiful, everyone is so friendly, every winding street you walk down brought a smile to my face, and THAT VIEW!! You turn a corner and it takes your breath away. I walked here from Castelo de Vide and the path was well marked and gorgeous, with birds of prey hovering and I even saw what I think is an Egyptian mongoose.... Lots of beautiful arts and crafts and good restaurants. I stayed at the Estalagem de Marvao which couldnt be faulted, really beautiful and friendly. Totally recommended (tho some parts of the town walls are not for the faint hearted - but there are plenty of steps down if it gets too much for the vertiginous!).
It was adventurous to drive the narrow, very narrow streets of historical Marvão. Lol. Still have PTSD. However, I wouldn't trade the stay for something more conventional.
The host was amazing, no English, but google was helpful. She was extremely friendly and warm despite waiting for us for a couple of hours... Greeted us with a local liquor. :)) after the drive it was needed. Beds were comfy, the house was very clean and cozy. Perfect locao, right in the midst of everything.
We loved this hotel.
The owner Joaquim was very friendly. He welcomed us personally with some small talk .
He gave us all the information we needed about the hotel and the village of Marvão.
The room was very spacious and very clean.
The bathroom had a big window, and was well ventilated.
Wi-fi was very good all around the room.
Breakfast was good, and served based on the request of each one of the guests.
Free parking near the hotel.
We love Marvao and Varanda Do Alentejo is conveniently situated in the heart of this delightful village.
Our welcome was very warm and our host was friendly and spoke excellent English. The place had been recently renovated and was simply and tastefully decorated. The bed was comfortable, the bathroom perfect and everywhere was spotlessly clean. Breakfast was across the narrow street in the stylish up market restaurant and it was excellent.
A wonderful and enchanting place to stay in the small hilltop village of Marvao! We had the entire house and it was like living in a fairytale. We watched the sunset on one side of the castle and the moonrise from our terrace. Stunning! The full eclipse of the moon was in the early morning so I walked alone through the walled village but the moon had already set and it was just me, a white cat and two birds in the pre dawn stillness.
Gorgeous little house, completely redone with attention to the minimal details. very peculiar division of the space, which makes it very cozy and architecturally amazing. Everything seems to be brand new, sparkling clean, and they thought of absolutely everything a guest May want or need. The hosts Alexandra and José were fantastic. A flawless, extremely comfortable and peaceful place firm which to enjoy the magic of Marvão!
Clean place right in the small village of Marvao. You can walk out the back and right onto the wall surrounding the village. Staff was super helpful and friendly. Comfortable beds and very tasty breakfast. It is true that the room was small, but that is to be expected at a property like this, so it is NOT a complaint. The room had everything we needed, and lots of character. Better than expected. Highly recommended!
It was our fourth time in Marvão and our third time in Casa O Arco, so it's safe to say that we like these lodgings very much. It's spacious, clean and has great views of the sunset. We like that there's a washing machine and fully equipped kitchen. Mrs Marcelina made a few updates since our last visit, which we liked; a new door to the balcony and some patio furniture with a sunbrella.
The hotel is associated with a restaurant just across the street where the complimentary breakfast was served. The breakfast was a feast with cheeses, yogurt, meats, rolls and more. We had dinner at the restaurant as well and it was very good. The hotel manager was very friendly and helpful- showed us where to park (very close to the hotel) and how to get our car into the area.
Calm, quiet, excellent pool and brilliant hosts. Nothing was too much trouble for them. Breakfast was to die for - Loads of different continental options with regional products.
The Quinta is situated close to Castelo de Vide e Marvão which are lovely places to visit, however is in a remote enough location for it to feel like a break from a busy life.
The location was excellent & the staff was wonderful . . . very responsive & helpful! The breakfast offered a variety of options & was very good. We loved that there was very convenient parking right by the hotel!! The location was great in that it was close to restaurants & a little bar with a wonderful views for our afternoon sangria!!
A comfortable and cozy place to stay in Marvão. There is an amazing common area where you can relax next to a wood stove and reflect on your good fortune to have found such an amazing town and hotel. The breakfast is beautiful and delicious and everyone at Estalagem de Marvão is warm and kind.
The property is beautiful and we were very comfortable . The outdoor space is great for children and the castle of Marvão is worth visiting. We enjoyed driving through Portalegre and a dip in the sever river.
It was absolutely beautiful. Wonderful host.
We were so welcomed from the second we arrived. Perfect location, unbelievable scenery, and village. The perfect stay! Marvao is a magical place.
The hotel, modern, clean and comfortable beds. Easy to park, with the river swimming pool round the corner and a path that takes you to Marvao castle in a half hour easy walk. Good breakfast
Really lovely, wellkept in the middle of the centre. Very nice people, working hard for the bar, restaurant. All very good! Hotel with hottub is a very good price for the quality!
