Casa da Árvore Marvão

This was our second visit here.The Casa is a traditional Portuguese style home.The owners are very welcoming and friendly-they cannot do too much for you.The rooms are clean,the beds comfortable and the bathrooms have plenty of hot water.Breakfasts are enormous and the scrambled eggs fantastic.Will definitely return.

Lovely old hilltop house with really friendly and helpful owners, although they don’t speak much English so conversing is tricky! Beautifully looked after and clean with a large lounge area which you can use to relax and a terrace overlooking the valley, what a view! We received a welcome glass of port and the breakfast was substantial and delicious. Parking is outside the house and requires nerves of steel to navigate the narrow cobbled lanes around the inside of the walls to the top! It’s very near the castle which is well worth exploring and has nice gardens for a picnic. You can explore the whole town on foot and a day is more than enough so if you stay 2 nights you have time to relax. There are a few restaurants and cafes in the area but some of them get booked up so it’s worth reserving. Marvao is not as much off the beaten track as the guide books would have you believe. My only gripes are that (1) the house is quite echoey inside and people coming in late can disturb the whole building, and I could hear the man next door snoring quite clearly which is a shame because it’s otherwise so peaceful here at night and (2) the lighting is quite dim, not good for older eyes reading.

We stayed at this hotel for one night. Sufficient to explore Marvão. The hotel is located about 200m from Marvao castle, getting there by car was adventure due to the narrow old town roads. My car was sounding alarm frequently... The hotel is small, nice rooms and an excellent breakfast. The owners are very nice and helpful. Highly recommended stay.

Só tenho coisas boas a dizer desta estadia,os anfitriões Sr Joaquim e a esposa são de uma simpatia gigante,fizeram-me sentir como se estivesse em casa.O quarto era muito bom,o pequeno almoço excelente e de qualidade.Claro que a vista do local completou o que já era perfeito. Adoramos e prometemos voltar!
