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.
Located on the slope of Marvão, Quinta d’Abegoa is just a 5-minute drive from Marvão Castle. It offers spacious villas with well-stocked kitchens and barbecue facilities. Free Wi-Fi is available.

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.

What an amazing and very special place. So unique and beautiful. The room was very comfortable and full of special touches. Location was fantastic. The host was very welcoming and explained where to go and made suggestions for restaurants. A fantastic experience we will always remember. Thank you.

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!).
The location of the property was very central to seeing everything in Marvao. Nice terrace with good views. We had the two bedroom room, with rooms more spacious than expected and a TV in each. Large modern bathroom and a small bar fridge. The breakfast that is included is in the restaurant across the road and was the best we had had. Eggs, bread, rolls, croissants, fruit, orange juice, coffee. There was so
much food and it was delicious. Marvao is probably one of the best Hill top village we saw on our trip.
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.
Cashinha de Marvao is full of character and is in a central location in the old town, with stunning views towards Spain. The house is very comfortable, especially the living room, which is really cosy in the evening with the wood burner on. The house is well equipped and the hosts have left useful information about the local area. This is our second stay at Casinha de Marvao and we loved it just as much the second time.
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 location was great (within the fortified walls of Marvao, walking distance to everything). Note that this property has two units: the larger is on the second story with more windows and light, a balcony and views over the city walls. The first floor unit is small and quite dark with small windows looking at the walls.
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 staff is friendly and helpful. The location is just perfect for enjoying the calm, close to a lot of interesting historical places to visit, and very close to the city of Marvão which is a must to visit.
Pets allowed and private parking just 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.
What a great view from the window! Hotel is in a nice area with a pretty river that goes to an old bridge and tower.
Bathroom is good, beds are comfy and there are many plugs. WiFi was good.
Great Marvao location. Nicely refurbished mediaval building. Friendly and helpful check-in. Great restaurants nearby. Walking distance to places of interest in Marvao.
