Castelo de Vide – Gistihús

Great location, friendly staff, beautifully restored heritage building. We also enjoyed the upper level terrace that had a spectacular view of kilometres of countryside. But best of all was the delicious breakfast 😊

I arrived during a torrential rain storm. I received a warm and helpful welcome. This is not a hotel but a well appointed, cosy home. I very much enjoyed my stay and, should I visit the area again, this would be my first consideration for accommodation. The breakfast table was groaning under the weight of a generous selection of savoury and sweet (often homemade) selections. You would need to travel a great distance and need much luck to find a breakfast comparable with this.

Good breakfast, very spacious room with good amenities. The reception staff ( even though serviced on limited hours) are very helpful from recommending restaurants to booking a taxi for us. The location is great as it is right in the town centre with nearby parking.

We loved the location which was 3 minutes from the castle and close to most sites. The property was well equipped with kitchen supplies; ventilation- air and heat; comfortable furnishings -and nice decor. Paula was very responsive and communicative- checking in on a regular basis and Luisa did a great job helping us park and orienting us to the property. We also appreciated the complimentary bottle of wine.

Great location, great swimming pool, charming house and furnishings. The problem was the heat, but for our request the air conditioner was brought. There could be a better selection of wine and drinks in the bar. Breakfast was very good,

Calm, quiet, excellent pool and brilliant hosts. Nothing was too much trouble for them. Breakfast was to die for - Loads of different continental options with regional products. The Quinta is situated close to Castelo de Vide e Marvão which are lovely places to visit, however is in a remote enough location for it to feel like a break from a busy life.

We loved our stay at Varanda Do Alentejo. Best place to stay in Marvao! Welcoming, clean & our room had the most amazing view. Breakfast was included & was very good. We had dinner in the restaurant & was amazing! Highly recommend. First choice always in Marvao.

Amazing 1926? building and stay at a now inactive building that is part of the closed Train Station next door. It looks like the Train Station but the ground floor has a large room with a fireplace that was used as a cafeteria eating area. No trains run on the railroad tracks and the location is very quiet day or night. The old kitchen where you make your own breakfast with owner-supplied bread, eggs, etc. has a fantastic original cast-iron range stove and huge marble sink. The entire ground floor is original. The second floor has upgraded bedrooms and bathrooms. Great exterior like Train Station with original Portuguese hand painted blue/white tiles. Hotel-recommended, nearby restaurants are excellent. The man and his sister who manage the hotel are friendly and very helpful. They are great hosts.
