Estacao Ferroviaria de Beira/Marvao, 7330-012 Marvão, Portugal – Great location - show map
Very relaxed place, with a unique architecture and history!
PortugalIt is an unique experience to stay in a former train station. The location is good, beautiful surroundings and landscapes, and the room was quite good. I loved the decoration of the hostel. Very decent breakfast.
United States of AmericaO espaço era fabuloso, a casa super espaçosa e o staff super atencioso e simpático!
PortugalLocation was lovely, in a national park very peaceful, excellent opportunities for getting close to nature, but also within close proximity to two historic walled towns. Breakfast was continental buffet and there was a kitchen which was available to guests to prepare your own food.
United KingdomThis was the second time we stayed here and the owners did an amazing job to restore this old train station. It's a fantastic place to stay and the peace and tranquility around it is very special. To be able to use the kitchen is a bonus as in many places we could not even make a cup of tea or coffee so it was nice to be able to cook a little for a change and make a hot tea on a cold evening in October. The fireplace is great, it makes it a very pleasant stay and we were very happy to be able to use it. We would definitely come back again!
NetherlandsExcellent location, very kind and helpful staff. Room was perfect for a night stay. lots of free parking available.
United KingdomHoused in an beautifully restored historical train station, this is an absolute gem! The building has so much character, from the architecture to the common areas like the kitchen, restaurant/lounge and terrace. There are only 7 or 8 rooms, so often we felt like we had the whole place to ourselves. Preparing our own food in a 130-year old kitchen (with modern appliances) felt like a true timewarp. Staff (speaking in broken English) is very friendly. It's the perfect place to switch off and get transported back in history for a few days. Highly recommended.
GermanyThe old Beira/Marvao train station restaurant on Portuguese-Spanish border, very tastefully converted into a beautiful guesthouse, really great! Rooms are simple and clean, we loved the old restaurant area, facing up the abandoned railway line. Also nice buffet breakfast. The owner is very friendly, with a lot of suggestions about restaurants, activities and cultural events in the surroundings.
ItalyThe concept to build a guesthouse in an abandoned train station is working! Rooms in the main building and two "apartments" next by. Remote rural area. Several attractions and restaurants on 15-20 min drive. Eduardo is a very nice person.
SwedenBeautiful and stylish renovated trainstation in a quiet little village, very nice staff & owner, good breakfast, comfortable beds. The apartment we stayed in has a garden were you can relax and look at all the stars in the evening.
