The location was great with parking nearby which was unusual for a medieval walled village such as this one. The room and breakfast were top notch. Dinis, the African Gray Parrot who lives at the cafe across the street was a constant source of marvelous entertainment. The hotel staff was also tops. Walking the was very interesting with great views.
Ideally located in the highest village in Portugal, El Rei Dom Manuel Hotel is housed in a historic building, its rooms offer breathtaking and stunning views over the landscapes of Portugal and Spain....

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.

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.
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 property exceeded the expectations. It is a house full of stories to tell. The owner José Andrade is very friendly and available to help with suggestions and knowledge about the region. The breakfast was good. The swimming pool was available, unfortunately the weather did not help in November. From our room we had line of sight to Marvão, marvelous to see the morning and the night of this city from our window. It is possible to visit the farm with the guidance of the owner. A place to return in the future.
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.
Best location in town with amazing views. It's right next to the castle and the church, which looked great at night when they're lit up. Very friendly, welcoming and helpful staff. We had the room with the large patio, which we really enjoyed. Very clean hotel. Breakfast was fresh and delicious (great drip coffee, too, which is rare in Europe). Had dinner at their family owned restaurant, which we highly recommend...try their black pig pork.
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 beautiful little cottage tucked away in the medieval village of Marvao. There's a castle right next door and the village itself is fun to wander around in. The owner of the hotel was friendly and gracious, and the room was perfect. It felt like I was staying in a distant relative's home and not a hotel. Also, the breakfast was incredible. Definitely sign up for breakfast.
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 bedroom and the common areas are really nice and well decorated. The Hotel is modern and well equipped. It is very well located, next to the river and good restaurants. The Hotel has a view over the River Sever and towards Marvão. The surrounding landscape is very pleasant and great for walking. Fantastic breakfast with regional products
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.
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 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.
