This is a perfect hotel well sited in the historic town . The staff are very friendly speaking perfect English and the breakfast and facilities were first class . Access is up a cobbled street but perfectly ok for our motorcycle .
The hot tub was a bonus !

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.

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 position is excellent. The owner is a very helpful and friendly man who speaks good English and the other staff I met were also lovely. Breakfast in the breakfast room was generous and fresh. Well catered.
In general comment on Marvao itself, obviously the streets are very narrow and parking is available in various places. If you can judge it without previously being there, choose a parking spot at the higher elevation as carrying your luggage is difficult and bag wheels on cobblestone streets don't work.
It was adventurous to drive the narrow, very narrow streets of historical Marvão. Lol. Still have PTSD. However, I wouldn't trade the stay for something more conventional.
The host was amazing, no English, but google was helpful. She was extremely friendly and warm despite waiting for us for a couple of hours... Greeted us with a local liquor. :)) after the drive it was needed. Beds were comfy, the house was very clean and cozy. Perfect locao, right in the midst of everything.
Check-in/out with Sonia was easy and she was very welcoming. We really appreciated her kind gifts of bread, chorizo, jams and red wine - all of which were delicious.
It is a lovely house with everything you need to self-cater. It has a fabulous outdoor area with lots of seating, a swimming pool with loungers and a BBQ. The location is very scenic and ideal to visit Marväo and Castelo de Vide. We would have loved to have stayed longer.
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.
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!
We didn't realize just how exotic the town of Marvao was - a very pretty tiny hill-town perched on the top of a rocky outcropping. And this property is actually a small house that works very well if you end up booking both rooms like we did - one upstairs from the main room, which includes a nice livingroom and full kitchen. Highly recomend if you're a family or even a couple that likes to spread out with a bit of space.
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.
The view from Marvao is amazing - our room was town view but 40 meters out the door allowed you to look east, south and west for long distances. The castle is 200 meters and is open all night with lights til late - absolutely the best medivel castle in Portugal. Staff was very helpful and accommodating.
This Studio was spotless and beautifully decorated. The bed was very comfortable and the kitchenette was enough to get you going.
The staff was friendly, the grounds beautiful. A place to relax, put your feet up and Recharge.
Marvão is nearby with sites and restaurants. We will definitely be back.
A comfortable and cozy place to stay in Marvão. There is an amazing common area where you can relax next to a wood stove and reflect on your good fortune to have found such an amazing town and hotel. The breakfast is beautiful and delicious and everyone at Estalagem de Marvão is warm and kind.
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.
The hotel was in a great location in the village, with plenty of parking, a very comfortable room, and a delicious breakfast. Also the dinner choices offered were various and delicious. The owners and staff were very welcoming.
I arrived late and left early, and did not have breakfast. The site in Marvao is extraordinary. The host was very kind to wait for my arrival, just before sunset. The room was fine, the setting was perfectly quiet and still.
