Situated in the hill-top village of Marvao, this hotel is an absolute delight. Our room was well equipped and very quiet although there was only a view over a very narrow street. The restaurant has fantastic views over the valley and is an absolute delight, you must have breakfast there! Very nice indoor public areas for reading and sitting with... 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

Dear Guest, We are pleased to know you have had a pleasant stay and we thank you for your comments on the cleanliness and the staff performance. There are not enough words to describe the views from Marvão and it is very relaxing to sit at the Pousada enjoying the sights. Marvão hasn’t spread outwards, since it is surrounded by... 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.

Marvao is a unique little hill town and the Pousada is perched on the side of the mountain. It is fairly small but I get the impression that it is a regular stop for tour groups which gives it a little "mass market" feel. The rooms are simple but functional -- a bit on the small side. We had a... More

Dear Guest, Thank you for taking the time to share your experience at Marvão and Pousada de Marvão. For its unique view and ambience, Marvão is indeed a bit of a touristic place, though it is a village that maintains an immutable feeling, taking us back in time. Every year, takes place in Marvão a quite famous festival dedicated to... More

Pousada Santa Maria-Marvao is a 'do not miss' experience of course the incredable craggy almost mountainous location of Marvao just adds to the etheral atmosphere . I stayed in a double room 311 which is the oldest part of the pousada.. charming room not huge but the little balcony and the mind blowing view compensated for the lack of space... More

We stayed at Pousada Santa Maria as part of our honeymoon and loved it. The staff were fantastic and so helpful from our first encounter: they never faltered and were always happy to go the extra mile. On one occasion, we wanted some snacks to have with a drink in our room; after asking at reception where we could buy... More

We booked this Pousada 2 weeks beforehand, booking a double room. We arrived at 11am, and was told that our room wasnt ready. We therefore returned at 2.40pm, to be told that our room was indeed ready - which was a twin!! We weren't happy as we had specifically requested a double.
