I've booked two rooms, double bed room designed for maximum 2 adults because we were three. The room itself was actually somewhat smaller than I was expecting for the money but our room was very comfortable and had a nice bathroom. 
Breakfast the next morning was served at the restaurant just down the street and would have cost 5 euros per person. They offer free wifi but we got 'unable to connect' message when we put in the password...

Marvão is a lovely small town located on the top of a tall hill. We enjoyed a breathtaking view! I'd recommend staying here overnight to enjoy the wonderful sunset rather than coming on a day trip!

really good place for one night stop

We expected that it would be difficult to find the property having read other reviews but we came upon it with ease. The problem was gaining access. Although marketed as a separate property is is run as an annex to the Hotel Dom Denis. After several fruitless enquiries and being after hours for the Tourist Office I eventually telephoned the hotel and a charmingly enthusiastic young man was with us within minutes. The room was delightful with the most amazing view imaginable. The hotel's own restaurant across the street was undergoing complete renovation so all meals - even breakfast - were taken in Don Denis. This was blithely described as two minutes walk. What was not described was the 100 foot steep climb necessary to get there which at 70 years of age was not too amusing. However once we had arrived the breakfast was excellent. It was laid out in buffet style and everything was replenished as supplies ran low. Bedrooms were serviced daily and we found it excellent value for money. However if we were to visit again we would stay in the main Hotel Dom Denis which is a bit more expensive.

Stunning Views

We really enjoyed our stay at this small guesthouse located right in the middle of Marvao. Our en-suite double room was a small but spotless and we had an amazing view from our window. Breakfast the next morning was served at the restaurant just down the street and was perfect - orange juice, coffee with hot milk, fresh rolls, cheese, ham and a delicious honey cake. We really enjoyed our two-night stay and would certainly recommed Varanda do Alentejo.

Lovely place to stay

Let first say that Marvao is a wonderful village. Not yet converted into a touristic amusement park.

We stayed one night in a room with 2 beds. We had a window, small but with a view. 
Even with that the room is dark during the day. During the night it is hardly possible to read in bed due to very little light provided by the 2 bulbs on the wall.

The room is not so small but with 2 beds, a sofa and other furniture a it is really hard to move without banging on objects.

One of the bed was very noisy and not so comfortable. The second was ok.

Make sure you avoid rooms without windows.



So so rooms

After driving to the top of a mountain at around 900mtrs above sea level you come to the town gate which looks impossible to enter with a car.You then drive along a cobbled track to the town square ,on your left is the gibbet and to the right a hanging sign outside the hotel bar with the restaurant  above which is accessed by  narrow winding steps.The reception and rooms are across the road. Because we asked for minimum steps we were given   two rooms on the ground floor a few steps down from reception .Both comfortable and clean ,but although an electric radiator was provided not heated enough for the cold wet weather which was dreadfull.In conclusion unless you very hardy check the weather befofe you go .

An extremely different experience ,not for the faint hearted

Booked this B&B through Booking.com 20th Oct for 1 night. Room was fairly miserable but clean. When checking the inclusive amenities there were no tea / coffee making, bathrobes or slippers. Spoke to Jorge who said he would bring them. Arrived with only 1 bathrobe but we managed. Had dinner across the road in their restaurant. OKish, waiter not very happy and brought the main course before we'd finished the starter. Breakfast OK. we served ourselves, though this was forbidden?, but we had our own servers. Nobody to check us out. Arrived home, checked our CC statement, room charge, dinner charge + 25€. Rang Booking.com to Q 25€.  Charge for an umbrella the B&B claims we took away with us. Manager said it was in our room when we arrived. It definitely wasn't, nor was the tea and coffee etc!! Tried all weekend to speak to the manger. He either "wasn't in the B&B" or he didn't answer his mobile. So nothing more we could do.   BEWARE booking this place, they may try and rip you off as well!!!
