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.

The views are unimaginable. The bed was big and comfortable. The pillows were the best we have had in Portugal. Our hosts could not have been more helpful. This village must be explored

We were given a warm welcome by our very friendly and pleasant host, who showed us into our lovely spacious room with a balcony overlooking the valley far below. There is a cosy shared sitting room ( complimentary port on hand) and the most spectacular views from the large windows of the sitting and dining areas. We loved the old fashioned ambience of the historic house, which was ideally located for a walking tour of the hilltop village. Delicious breakfast too.

There really weren't any negatives.

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.

It's a long and winding road up to Marvao, and the streets within the village are very narrow. I would encourage travelers to arrive before dark.

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.

We loved everything, even the celebration that was taking place just outside our balcony. The locals were celebrating Al Mossassa.

Fabulous location overlooking the landscape and other towns. Best place to see the sunset, with a glass of port wine provided by the hosts. Breakfast was exceptional with very tasty and moist homemade chocolate cake and tomato jam. The host and hostess were very friendly and personable and made us feel like we were part of the family.

We arrived at the beginning of an annual festival (for which we were unaware) that took place in the square directly below our windows. It was extremely loud with live entertainment until 11:30 pm.

Fabulous views. Charming breakfast and sitting area. Owners were very friendly and hospitable. Breakfast was generous!

It would be very difficult to find anything to dislike.

This small hotel is absolutely excellent. We chose a room on the first floor which had double doors opening out on to a minute balcony which gave a view, basically on to the attractive car park below. However the first floor lounge and dining areas had fantastic views and there was a good sized balcony running along outside which gave tremendous views of the valley and countryside below. We were also treated to golden eagles periodically flying past. The owner and his wife were very attentive and did everything they could to ensure your stay was excellent. Breakfast was pre-ordered and there was a very good range on offer. We have no hesitation in recommending this hotel.
