Round off the plan
What to order: the pickled partridge to start and the sericaia with Elvas plums for dessert.
What to order: the wood-oven bread with the mushroom pâté and one of the three mains: meat, fish or vegetable.
Why we like it: A hotel in four traditional houses inside the Marvão wall, with a panoramic restaurant, bicycles and an electric charger. From €119 a night.
Why we like it: Small hotel in a traditional house at the very top of Marvão, inside the walls: nine rooms, a terrace with a hot tub and views of the Serra de São Mamede.
