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!).
The property exceeded the expectations. It is a house full of stories to tell. The owner José Andrade is very friendly and available to help with suggestions and knowledge about the region. The breakfast was good. The swimming pool was available, unfortunately the weather did not help in November. From our room we had line of sight to Marvão, marvelous to see the morning and the night of this city from our window. It is possible to visit the farm with the guidance of the owner. A place to return in the future.
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.
Check-in/out with Sonia was easy and she was very welcoming. We really appreciated her kind gifts of bread, chorizo, jams and red wine - all of which were delicious.
It is a lovely house with everything you need to self-cater. It has a fabulous outdoor area with lots of seating, a swimming pool with loungers and a BBQ. The location is very scenic and ideal to visit Marväo and Castelo de Vide. We would have loved to have stayed longer.
The location is wonderful, very much at the centre of Marvao and everything is easily accessible. The view from the window is lovely and wide over the landscape. The host met us at the door, he was extremely efficient, we checked in in minutes, getting in and out is very easy and a good restaurant is just across the way. The room was very clean and the small double bed was comfortable, even though our feet hung over the end.
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!
Excellent hotel with a wonderful view of the Marvao castle and overlooking a river. The room was large and comfortable with an excellent shower. We had a veranda and view. The continental breakfast had an option for eggs and there were local sweets to try. The location is good to explore Marvao and the nearby area. Parking was very easy on the street behind the hotel.
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.
This Studio was spotless and beautifully decorated. The bed was very comfortable and the kitchenette was enough to get you going.
The staff was friendly, the grounds beautiful. A place to relax, put your feet up and Recharge.
Marvão is nearby with sites and restaurants. We will definitely be back.
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.
This is a perfect hotel well sited in the historic town . The staff are very friendly speaking perfect English and the breakfast and facilities were first class . Access is up a cobbled street but perfectly ok for our motorcycle .
The hot tub was a bonus !
Excellent location. Manuel made us feel right at home and upgraded our rooms after the first night to a balcony room. Breakfast decent but not much variety. A charming family run hotel who will do anything to make your stay more comfortable.
Great boutique hotel with personalized attention from the staff and great breakfast included in the price. Free parking right next to the hotel. The town itself is like it was pulled out of a fairytale story. Amazing stay. We'll be back.
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.
Amazing views and surrondings! The landscape is....impossible to describe! You need to see it!! Opening the door to the balcony and see the beautiful view of Marvao is breathtaking!
