Dom Dinis Marvão

At the very top of the town

Dom Dinis occupies a restored traditional house on Rua Dr. Matos Magalhães, in the upper part of Marvão and inside the walls. It has nine rooms and eighteen beds, according to the council's accommodation list. From the door you can walk to the castle and the walls, and at night, once the day-trippers have gone, the town is yours.

Rooms

There are ground-floor doubles, double rooms with views of the sierra, a family room with two bedrooms and two bathrooms, and a superior room with a four-poster bed, an antique bath and its own terrace with panoramic views. All have terracotta floors, air conditioning, central heating, a TV and a minibar.

The terrace and the rest of the house

On the terrace there is a shared hot tub facing the Serra de São Mamede and the sunset; it is free and is booked at reception, from 10:30 to 20:00. Downstairs there is a bar with a fireplace for winter and a terrace facing the castle for summer. Breakfast is a buffet with local produce. Reception is open 24 hours.
