What a beautiful place! It was absolutely fantastic staying up in the walled village of Marvao. Very nice, clean, comfortable accommodation and we enjoyed the view from our room. There is parking very close. Breakfast was very good and included scrambled eggs as well as the continental. The owner is very hands on and always making sure that your needs are met. The restaurant where you have breakfast is across the street and has very good views as well. The streets are very narrow and quaint. It is so easy to walk around and up to the castle. This is a fantastic, intact castle with views going as far as Spain. I would definitely go back to Marvao. Give yourself at least 2 days so that you can explore and then just relax and enjoy the lovely gardens below the castle.
Located 2.8 km from Roman City of Ammaia, Casa O Arco Alojamento Local offers free WIFI in Marvão. The kitchen has an oven, a microwave and a toaster and there is a private bathroom.

Property was large, well equipped and comfortable but best of all was its location which affords the chance to stay overnight in a magical and historic setting!

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.
The Estalagem de Marvão is located within the historic walled town center of Marvão.

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.

This was one of our favorite stops on our 10 day trip through Portugal. From the moment you turn a corner in the approaching road and first see Marvao high up on the hilltop, the experience was magical. The town is compact, clean, and efficient. The castle and gardens with panoramic views across the hills and valleys near the border with Spain was simply breathtaking. I wish we had booked another day at this lovely hotel in this gorgeous village.

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.
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.
The idyllic peaceful rural location on a working farm with sheep with bells. Jose was a delightful host and the breakfasts were excellent.
Our room was spacious and the traditional stone building was nice and cool and the pool was great for cooling off. The bed was very comfortable.
There were some nice restaurants about half an hour's walk away and nearby Marvao is well worth a visit. We spent 4 nights here and enjoyed it very much. It is great if you are looking for peace and quiet.
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.
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!
A small hotel located in the center of the exquisite Marvao village. Our room was tidy and well equipped (AC, shower gels, hair dryer, towels). The view from the window was amazing. It was possible to park the car near the entrance. The breakfast in the restaurant just in front was good (eggs, bacon, local cheese, cakes and fruits, cereals, yogurt, coffee and juice). The staff is very nice and helpful.
First of all, the location is perfect, everything is close by. I stayed 2 nights. The rooms and bathrooms are spacious, furnished with period furniture and absolutely neat and clean. And, the main treasure is the owner of the hotel, friendly and competently solving any question of the guests. Breakfast and WI-FI are also good.
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.
Great location in a very cool castle town. The room was clean and comfortable and our host was wonderful. Very warm and friendly. And they prepared a wonderful breakfast. There was a terrace we could use with a beautiful view. We loved Marvao and we would stay at Casa da Arvore again.
Lovely hotel in Marvao. Our room was perfect, with a beautiful view looking into the valley. We had dinner at the hotel and it was fantastic! Easy parking close to the hotel. Highly recommend.
