Pousada

Almost 1000 meters above
sea level, the Hotel Pousada de Marvao is situated in the unspoilt 13th
century Marvao in the Alentejo region of Portugal.
The small traditional houses
of Marvao, a medieval town with walls dating from the thirteenth century,
seem to squeeze the narrow little streets that wind between them. Two of
these village houses have been comfortably converted into the Pousada Marvao,
Santa Maria, a small charming hotel. |
| The Pousada Santa Maria
boasts many features, which make this a special place to stay. The cosy
ambience of the bedrooms and reception rooms is echoed in the simple decoration
and almost family atmosphere.
The rooms offer two completely
different experiences: some (only a few) offer views of the stunning mountain
landscape surrounding this hilltop town, whilst the rest face inwards into
the lanes and alleyways of the old town, immersing visitors in a medieval
world of granite and whitewashed houses. |
