Great base for daytrips to the surrounding area and villages, either by car or nature walks. Breathtaking view, confortable lodging for a reasonable price. Meals are not so great for the price. More

We stayed here for 2 nights in February. Getting to the pousada was a bit exciting as the streets are very narrow and you have to do a 180 to get to the parking lot after dropping off your luggage. The pousada was well run with very courteous staff. Sipping a drink while overlooking the countryside around is very nice.... More

Piusada was very nie. Service ovall a bit slow but friendly. Food very good in restaurant. Overall though,the town was the star. Marvoa is amazing - a truly stunning town with views only to be admired but never equalled. Wonderful vistas all round and, despite the touristy focus of the town, never felt ripped off. If I had known of... More

We traveled two adults and two children to spend a weekend with cool, windy days in the autumn, in this very charming little village near the Spanish border, the highest point of the Alentejo region. We stayed in a suite located in the second building across the street (but with access to the main one from inside). The restaurant and... More

Marvão was the highest attraction on our 14-day trip throughout Portugal. The village of Marvão, altogether with the castle and its gardens, is an absolute must. Spend two days at least here, it is definitely worth. The hotel is very clean, great room and view. Excellent bed. The restaurant is a bit pricey if seen in the regional context, but... More

Dear Guest, We are glad you have appreciated the overall services of Pousada de Marvão during your stay. Some rooms, not many, also face the wonderful view over the hilltops and Marvão is a wonderful village worth visiting.
