Great location in the region, with access to main sights within 15/20 minutes drive, Spain including.
Despite the central location to Portagem town, the street it is located in is a quiet one.
The bedroom was cosy.
Great balance for value/cost.

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.
Featuring a terrace with panoramic views of Marvão, this country house is located within the city walls.

The views are unimaginable. The bed was big and comfortable. The pillows were the best we have had in Portugal.
Our hosts could not have been more helpful.
This village must be explored
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.
Located in the village of Beirã, 8 km from the medieval village of Marvão, Tapada da Rabela is a 2-floored farm stay that offers an outdoor swimming pool and unique views of the Alentejo landscape.

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.
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!).
The hotel is centrally located. Great view right with outdoor restaurant seating. We parked our car right in front. The room suite was big and clean. We even have our own private elevator! We ate dinner at their restaurant. Delicious local cuisine. Portions were big. We could have shared but loved the varieties. Amazing sunrise view from the room windows in the morning. Breakfast was ok. Owner is friendly and accommodating. We enjoyed our stay.
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.
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.
The hosts are very welcoming. The whole facility is spotless. The room was a nice size and the bed was very comfortable. Having the on site restaurant was a great help. There are not a lot of options in Marvão for dining, and it was very relaxing to have a delicious breakfast waiting in the morning and a wonderful dinner at night. I will be returning to Dom Manuel next time I am in the area.
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.
The bedroom and the common areas are really nice and well decorated. The Hotel is modern and well equipped. It is very well located, next to the river and good restaurants. The Hotel has a view over the River Sever and towards Marvão. The surrounding landscape is very pleasant and great for walking. Fantastic breakfast with regional products
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.
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
Really lovely, wellkept in the middle of the centre. Very nice people, working hard for the bar, restaurant. All very good! Hotel with hottub is a very good price for the quality!
Great hosts and beautifully decorated place - we couldn't ask for a better place. Breakfast was also nice and homey.
Such unique experience in Marvao, high recommend!
