Pousada de Marvão

The Hotel

Converted Medieval Hilltop Hotel

At an altitude of almost 1000 metres, the village of Marvão has stunning 360º panoramic views over the rugged Alentejan plain right to the Spanish border. Surrounded by 13th-century castle walls, this hilltop Pousada has been created from two village houses that still maintain their medieval character but which have been modernized to make a light and sunny building with simple furnishings and a cosy and relaxed feel. 

The Pousada restaurant offers a good variety, including many traditional dishes featuring typical Alentejan ingredients. There is also a cosy bar with a panoramic setting offering treats like hot chocolate in winter, chestnut gin in summer, regional snacks, toasted sandwiches and a selection of gins and imported beers
