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.

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.

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.

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.
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 house was beautifully designed, decorated and furnished. It was spacious and comfortable, with all the equipment you could need. The views were wonderful over the valley and towards Marvao and the mountains. The only sound was sheep bells. Really, one of the best places we have stayed. Also, the host was helpful and kind.
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.
The room was quiet and the bed was comfortable. We had an excellent breakfast that we had selected upon arrival, and the accommodation was very well located for walking around Marvao. There is parking immediately beside the B&B and our host was very pleasant and knowledgeable.
The hotel was ideally located just next to the castle of Marvão with free parking just next door and with an excellent view, the staff was very friendly and helpful and did not spare any efforts to make our stay a pleasant one, and reasonably good breakfast.
Marvao is an amazing place and Casa da Arvore is an excellent place to stay. It is a family guesthouse with very welcoming hosts, it is very clean and well taken care of, snd location wise is judt perfect.
Magnificent view from the terrace, room was very comfortable, Wi-Fi worked well, good breakfast that can be carried up and eaten while enjoying the view. Marvão is a fantastic place to visit.
Great Marvao location. Nicely refurbished mediaval building. Friendly and helpful check-in. Great restaurants nearby. Walking distance to places of interest in Marvao.
The food in the restaurant is great, the wine too and the service was very good! Everything was clean and the hotel staff were nice, helpful and welcoming.
