The location was wonderful. The room was clean and more than sufficient for one night. The terrace was a nice bonus

The views were stunning. The bathroom was modern, and there was quite a bit of space in the studio apartment. It would be great for a couple or a solo traveler who needs to work remotely (there is a big desk). You could make do for a family of 3 as there is a comfy day bed in the living room. The restaurant is directly below the studio, so it’s convenient for dining. The breakfast was generous.

Great location in a very cool castle town. The room was clean and comfortable and our host was wonderful. Very warm and friendly. And they prepared a wonderful breakfast. There was a terrace we could use with a beautiful view. We loved Marvao and we would stay at Casa da Arvore again.
Located on the edge of a sheer hill, rustic Casa da Silverinha is in the medieval village of Marvão.

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 idyllic peaceful rural location on a working farm with sheep with bells. Jose was a delightful host and the breakfasts were excellent.
Our room was spacious and the traditional stone building was nice and cool and the pool was great for cooling off. The bed was very comfortable.
There were some nice restaurants about half an hour's walk away and nearby Marvao is well worth a visit. We spent 4 nights here and enjoyed it very much. It is great if you are looking for peace and quiet.
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.
Clean. Very good breakfast. Excellent location by the river Sever. It's just a short walk from the Portagem Roman Bridge, as well as some Serra de São Mamede walking trails and good local restaurants. It's a 30-minute walk from the ruins of Ammaia. The Hotel Staff is very helpful. As of May 2021 the breakfast is served at the table due to pandemic restrictions.
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.
Estalagem do Marvâo is a real gem and worth the drive up winding roads to get there. The beds were comfy (the absolute quiet of the town was a plus), lots of hot water and a good shower, and a lovely breakfast. We would love to come back and stay here again.
The property is beautiful and we were very comfortable . The outdoor space is great for children and the castle of Marvão is worth visiting. We enjoyed driving through Portalegre and a dip in the sever river.
beautiful 1 night stay in Marvao, it was a quiet winter night so we were the only ones there! very friendly staff, super clean, cozy room, great breakfast, easy parking & great location. we had a lovely time.
Stunning views from the terrace of our room. The location was amazing!
Marvao was one of the highlights of our journey to Portugal, and we will definitely return to Dom Dinis:)
Excellent breakfast as well.
located right in the heart of Marvao. we were fortunate to park close to the property. We had room #3 with a great view and doors that opened up to the view.
Stunning, central location in a magnificent hilltop town. The hotel is full of character. Even though it is small they found space indoors for our bicycles.
