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.
Located 2.8 km from Roman City of Ammaia, Casa O Arco Alojamento Local offers free WIFI in Marvão. The kitchen has an oven, a microwave and a toaster and there is a private bathroom.

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.

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

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!).
Of all of our stays in Portugal, this was the most welcoming. The host truly made us feel at home. The breakfasts was excellent and served in a dining room with a lovely view. The location was magical, right on the top edge of town with views over the valley and sunset and a quick walk to the castle.
As some of the other reviews mention, google maps is very confused about Marvao. Just follow the main road through the gate and then follow the inside of the wall up to Casa da Avore. There is ample parking right next to the hotel.
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.
Gorgeous little house, completely redone with attention to the minimal details. very peculiar division of the space, which makes it very cozy and architecturally amazing. Everything seems to be brand new, sparkling clean, and they thought of absolutely everything a guest May want or need. The hosts Alexandra and José were fantastic. A flawless, extremely comfortable and peaceful place firm which to enjoy the magic of Marvão!
A small hotel located in the center of the exquisite Marvao village. Our room was tidy and well equipped (AC, shower gels, hair dryer, towels). The view from the window was amazing. It was possible to park the car near the entrance. The breakfast in the restaurant just in front was good (eggs, bacon, local cheese, cakes and fruits, cereals, yogurt, coffee and juice). The staff is very nice and helpful.
Excellent hotel with a wonderful view of the Marvao castle and overlooking a river. The room was large and comfortable with an excellent shower. We had a veranda and view. The continental breakfast had an option for eggs and there were local sweets to try. The location is good to explore Marvao and the nearby area. Parking was very easy on the street behind the hotel.
Calm, quiet, excellent pool and brilliant hosts. Nothing was too much trouble for them. Breakfast was to die for - Loads of different continental options with regional products.
The Quinta is situated close to Castelo de Vide e Marvão which are lovely places to visit, however is in a remote enough location for it to feel like a break from a busy life.
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 house was beautifully designed, decorated and furnished. It was spacious and comfortable, with all the equipment you could need. The views were wonderful over the valley and towards Marvao and the mountains. The only sound was sheep bells. Really, one of the best places we have stayed. Also, the host was helpful and kind.
A hidden gem in a beautiful mountain village. We booked this last minute as a stopover for one night and regretted not staying longer. A small, cozy, family run hotel. The staff were really helpful and pleasant. The food was delicious and the ambience was very relaxing. You cant go wrong with this lovely hotel.
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.
Marvao is an amazing place and Casa da Arvore is an excellent place to stay. It is a family guesthouse with very welcoming hosts, it is very clean and well taken care of, snd location wise is judt perfect.
Very friendly and helpfull ladies at the reception who speak english well. And nice classic building, really liked the robust stairs. And Marvao is a beautifull and, at this time of the year, quiet place.
Lovely hotel in Marvao. Our room was perfect, with a beautiful view looking into the valley. We had dinner at the hotel and it was fantastic! Easy parking close to the hotel. Highly recommend.
