The location in Marvao on the square opposite the fortress could not be more scenic. The hotel is cozy (appropriate for this walled hilltop town with medieval sized winding streets), but it is clean, attractive, and recently refurbished, and the staff were welcoming and friendly. There are even a few parking places beside the hotel, A rare thing in this walled town. They aren't reserved for hotel guests, but if you can get one it makes the stay so much more convenient.

Great location to enjoy the castle without crowds. Our room was a bit cozy but good shower and comfy bed. The buffet breakfast included fresh fruit, hot milk for coffee, crepes, and eggs in addition to the usual baked goods and cold cuts.
Located in 2 small traditional whitewashed houses in Marvão, this charming pousada offers stunning views of the surrounding mountains from its restaurant.

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!).
This guest house is located at the edge of the west-facing wall of Marvao, a medieval fortress town. We had a balcony that overlooked the expansive valley and hills in the distance. Breathtaking. The hosts were friendly and answered our questions. Breakfast is included in the stay - we were able to order food items from a menu, and state the time to eat. Breakfast was set out on time and was just what we ordered. The host also offered to make reservations at local restaurants for dinner - much appreciated.
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.
We didn't realize just how exotic the town of Marvao was - a very pretty tiny hill-town perched on the top of a rocky outcropping. And this property is actually a small house that works very well if you end up booking both rooms like we did - one upstairs from the main room, which includes a nice livingroom and full kitchen. Highly recomend if you're a family or even a couple that likes to spread out with a bit of space.
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.
Located in a beautiful country side, surrounded by nature is great location to hike or bike. It is close to Castelo de Marvao, Castelo da Vide, Menhir de Meade and other lovely medioeval towns, is a place to relax or work with creative projects. I could stay longer if I had have the time, this place is in my list for my next trip to Portugal.
Very quaint hotel very close to the castle, not that we could see it for fog and rain! And parking close by. Marvao is amazing, but the weather sent us home early. Teresa Isabel, our host was wonderful. The room was small, being old, but room for our dog. No dog supplement. Even a mini bar with reasonably priced drinks.
Great location, excellent food served in the restaurant and the owner Mr Fernando, who is also the taxi driver in Marvao is a fonte of local knowledge
Where else can you stay a hear a world renowned violinist practice in the next room..superb
The view from the room and from the hotel is simply amazing. The hotel itself is located in a beautiful village, when you arrive you feel as if you are in the Middle Ages.
The village itself has some excellent restaurants and pubs.
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.
beautiful 1 night stay in Marvao, it was a quiet winter night so we were the only ones there! very friendly staff, super clean, cozy room, great breakfast, easy parking & great location. we had a lovely time.
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!
Great Marvao location. Nicely refurbished mediaval building. Friendly and helpful check-in. Great restaurants nearby. Walking distance to places of interest in Marvao.
Stunning, central location in a magnificent hilltop town. The hotel is full of character. Even though it is small they found space indoors for our bicycles.
