This is a charmingly old fashioned hotel in a beautiful old building in this amazing hilltop town. The rooms were lovely, as were the facilities especially the open fire lit every evening. Good food and wonderful views from the dining room made this a lovely place to stay

A mountain top village & castle fortress with fantastic views day & night; very large comfortable room with bath amenities; very nice & plentiful buffet breakfast included; charming fireplace & lounge rooms; they have senior rates even for non-Portugese guests; had dinner in the restaurant which was OK (make a reservation if you want a window table) the views were...

Pousada de Marvão is a lovely place in the near south of Portugal, located in a lovely small village. Its staff is wonderful and extremely helpful, above all, Mr. José. The food at the restaurant was very good. Although we stayed in a small room at the old part of the hotel, The new rooms are more spacious. The hotel... More

Marvao is just a spectacular place. I'd recommend staying here overnight to enjoy the wonderful evenings rather than coming on a day trip. We had two nights here and had a great relaxing time. There isn't really anything special about this Pousada other than the fact it is in Marvao with an amazing view, but the view is outstanding. We... More

I'm sure someone has already said that this little town is Marvao-lous. Come for the simply unbelievable views (you are almost 900 metres up) over Portugal and Spain. Come for the experience of driving over steep ultra-narrow cobbled streets, some of which have two-way traffic. Come to stroll round the ramparts at sunset. The hotel offers you the base to... More

What a truly fantastic experience, we had driven down from Santander and were unsure what to expect. We have stayed in a number of Pousadas all over Portugal but this has to be the most memorable. The journey up the mountain to Marvao is spectacular, the welcome from the staff first class. We were given a choice of rooms to... More

Pousadas have a great view or a great history and as such are usually attractive places to stay. They are also priced accordingly. The one in Marvao, too, has great sights from the lobby, restaurant, and most of the rooms, and the village itself enjoys breathtaking views that you don't easily forget. The hotel staff is friendly and helpful. Our... More

On top of it's mountain this pousada is located right in the middle of the medieval town Marvao, surrounded by the 13th Century fortified walls close to the castle. Narrow streets to drive through but very well to be reached by car and even with a few free parkingspots in front of the entrance of this pousada. The view from... More

We stayed 2 nights at Pousada Santa Maria in standard room on B+B basis as part of fly-drive holiday to Alentejo. The striking feature of this hotel is its location. Pousada is near the top of Marvao village which means a level walk to the castle but a hairy drive up very narrow, steep, yet still 2-way streets - once... More
