We (my wife and I) have stayed at the Pousada de Castelo de Alvito several times and have never been disappointed. The castle has been beautifully renovated and has managed to preserve its charm and originality. The food is excellent and the service at the restaurant and hotel is very friendly, timely and polite. You will also get a morning... More

The Pousada de Castelo de Alvito is a charming, quiet little castle-Pousada (not "OTT grand" like the ones, for example, in Guimaraes and Estremoz, nor "foretess-y" like that in Setubal nor elegant like the Pousada de Beja...) and our two-night stay here in the tower suite (room 208) was delightful (and, at the end of February and with the oldie...

During our first visit to Portugal in October, 2012 we chose Castelo de Alvito because it appeared to be centrally located during our visit to the Alentejo region. The castle is beautifully restored and decorated, quite comfortable with very helpful and professional staff for such a small place. Due to the time of year and weather we did not take... More

We stayed here back in July. We paid the extra for a superior room and I would recommend doing the same. The room we had was superb, spacious and had an amazing view. Walking into the room for the first time there was a real wow factor. I'm also glad we stayed here and not in Evora. Beja and Evora... More

We stayed 2 nights at the Pousada in Alvito in October 2012. We booked the suite, which was stunning - about 10m by 10m with a very high domed ceiling with intricate pierced plaster work. The views from the 2 windows were beautiful. Breakfast was fine, similar to other pousadas, although we didn't have dinner there. Hotel staff were helpful,... More

We booked the turret suite so our family could stay in the same room for one of the few times in Europe. Magnificent decor and views. Restaurant was good for breakfast but looked a bit pricey for dinner so we went into the village and ate well. Quiet and somewhat depressed village with not that much to do but great... More

The Pousada de Castelo de Alvito dominates the small town, so full of activity during the day and one of the delights is relaxing in your room watching the world go by. Having stayed in pousadas before, we were aware of their differing characters. The pousada itself is magnificent with everything a guest could want. The castle has been impressively... More

Booked this hotel as one of 6 we stayed in on a trip around the south of Portugal. It was far and away the most expensive - over 300 euros for 3 nights b and b as a special 'over-55s' package. The castle was pleasantly restored but did not appear to be attracting many visitors. On the second morning of... More

Although attractions are a... More
