Pousada de Marvao – Charming Hotel

Beautiful hotel stayed 5 nights Beautiful room with balcony all the staff super friendly and kind Breakfast is the best I have ever had loved sitting on the terrace early evening Perfect location too Thank you so much Make sure you eat in the hotel restaurant the food is divine

We counted up and realized we’ve stayed at 6 Pousadas over the years and this was our favorite. We think staying at Pousadas connects us more with the true Portugal at a very reasonable cost. Our suite at the Pousada de Santa Maria had a balcony and definitely worth the few extra Euros. After the warm days of touring the region, the shade came over the building about 4pm so we spent the afternoons sipping a cocktail and relaxing into the cooling evening breeze. The room was a very clean and it seemed as if the furnishings had been recently updated. Beds were comfortable. Bathroom clean and functional. The whole stay has truly been relaxing as you can get. Marvao is great place to spend a night or 2, wandering around the cobbled village streets. It’s calm and peaceful with views that go on forever. The restaurants in the town offer a good meal at a reasonable price. We had a wonderful meal at the hotel’s restaurant, Ninho D’aguias. The waiter was very helpful with wine selections and the chef even stopped by the table to explain the sourcing of the food. Try the black pork and octopus!

Magical place, will never forget it. Attended the marvao music festival, an experience I will cherish forever. The hotel was charming, and with amazing views. There is nowhere else like this place, truly unique. Stayed in July 2022, during a heatwave. Stayed three nights, could have stayed for the week. Incredible.

This is located in a very tranquil region, with really nice views over the valley. The staff are the nicest, the service very good. We had a meat at the hotel restaurant and the food was also very nice, with a good selection from the menu. Unfortunately the room and the furniture are quite "tired", do not do justice to all around it. Overall though a nice experience

Magical place with the friendliest people. Beautiful landscape and delicious meals. The rooms are welcoming, clean and the offers are personalized. The location is excellent, mountainous as expected. The children and their father loved exploring a piece of Portuguese history.

A beautiful hill top village with its castle and quaint houses. The pousada is a very interesting long and thin building on either side of a narrow street. There are wonderful views from the dining room and bar/lounge area. Our bedroom had good views - albeit somewhat obstructed by new railings on a communal patio area (not used in chilly Jan) - but lower floor ones don't so check. The staff were excellent especially Daniel who had been drafted in from a nearby closed pousada. Sadly, the restaurant was closed for dinners but breakfast was good and snack food, e.g. soup, was available. We walked to the other restaurants in town which were good. Daniel advised on them and helped book us each evening.
