to get started.

prima room and warm. Excellent bathroom. Dining room cold and drafts. Very good breakfast.

Jan, Netherlands

Our room was the "suite" at the top of a tower that looked like it came straight out of a fairy tale. Great view over the village. Huge comfortable bed, classy bathroom. The whole castle was very atmospheric. Nice garden and even battlements. The young staff team are graduates and students from the local college of hospitality, which now runs the place. We had a good meal in the atmospheric dining room. We asked to share all our dishes which was facilitated. All food was good. Try the trio of sweets.

William, United Kingdom

Staying here was like living in a dream bubble. The staff were attentive and caring, our room was gorgeous with tasteful decor and plenty of seating and our window overlooked a town square. Dinner was delish and inexpensive.

Jeremy, United States of America

Excellent cuisine, fine property in a lovely location

Charles, United Kingdom

beautiful romantic place- very quite though- staff is very nice- free breakfast was great. There's a very good restaurant across the street- this is a very small quiet village.

Jessica, Canada

Castle is lovely. Smaller than expected. However the rooms a big and the garden with swimming pool are really nice Breakfast was really nice. And also dinner was really good, great wine selection.

Bibi, United Kingdom

The only point I would make as some one who works in a co - related hotel business and comes from a hotel family is that the young staff ( and we were aware of the relationship with the local college, which we felt was excellent ) was that the young staff could be taught to be a little more out going. They were all very professional but serious. A few more smiles was all that was needed. This is nit picking because they did a great job and we were so pleased we stayed there. We are Pestana Options Members, so we are very used to their very high standards.

Tony, United Kingdom

Convenient for both Evora and Beja but in the countryside. Unbeatable.

James, South Africa

Historical building with spacious rooms and confortable beds. Nice staff. High quality breakfast. Excellent place to have drink by the pool.

Pedro, Portugal

On a road trip around Portugal and decided to stay in a Pousada and this one was in the general direction we were travelling. While its in a small town it was something quite different and we enjoyed the one night we had there. Welcoming and helpful staff greeted us when we arrived. A nice outdoor pool, very comfortable bar area and plenty of room in our bedroom made for a comfortable stay. We dinned in the restaurant and the only complaint was the staff we a bit slow and could have lifted the service level. The food was good and they did a really good breakfast the next morning.

An Inside Look at Pousada Castelo de Alvito

The castle was built at the end of the 15th Century, under the landlord João Fernandes da Silveira, nominated the "Baron of Alvito" by D. Afonso, the 5th of his name. This same title was then passed on to his son, the 2nd baron, D. Diogo Lobo da Silveira by John II in 1489. The castle presents itself as a building with both military and residential architecture, where you can find gothic, islamic and manueline references. In 1993 it re-opened as a hotel belonging to the Pousadas de Portugal, in which it was part of the Historical segment that pays homage to the regions culture, be it by the way it presents itself, or the traditional gastronomy and wines it provides. As of 2016, its being managed by a colaboration between the local school, Escola Profissional de Alvito and the town hall, that have done extraordinary work to bring life back to this beloved castle.

눉The evening meal at the restaurant was not good. Food not cooked as requested and pretty tasteless. Had to wait a long time. Never had steak AND mushroom risotto before on the same plate, bit odd, overcooked fish, bland sauce, did not like the mashed bread and potato mix. Lamb stew ok, but hardly any meat on the lamb. Steak was not medium well done it was medium rare. Air con in bedroom 103 was noisy.

눉Alvito, the town is really small. Although very pretty you only have about 4/5 restaurants to choose from. But really enjoyed the hotel restaurant and perfect for a 2 night stay. Also the rooms where to big for the air-conditioning to properly work. The high ceilings made it difficult to cool the room down.
눇Castle is lovely. Smaller than expected. However the rooms a big and the garden with swimming pool are really nice Breakfast was really nice. And also dinner was really good, great wine selection.
