Our stay was pleasant. our room was clean and comfortable. Breakfasts were excellent as was the one group dinner we had. We enjoyed relaxing in the courtyard after a hard day of biking. The staff was friendly and helpful. It's hard to beat a medieval castle. More

This old castle has been converted into a very pleasant hotel. Rooms are spacious, although furnishings are a bit basic. Breakfast was good. More

We stayed at the Pousada de Castelo de Alvito for one night on our way through the region. The Pousada is located very nicely in the middle of this small village. The room we stayed in was very spacious and clean and had many original features. The views over the garden were very nice and one could enjoy looking at... More

Not the easiest place to get to, as Alvito is definitely off the main roads, but a nice retreat. Set in a charming small town, this small castle has been turned into a good hotel. Quiet, clean, comfortable, with all the amenities we needed. We did stay (one night) in a superior room, which was huge! Nice view of the... More

In October we returned for the 4th time to this lovely small Pousada. It is very difficult to put your finger on why we like it so much, in many ways it has this magic quality of just being special. The rooms are lovely, and the pool small and intimte if in need of a bit of rejuvenation....but funnily enough... More

What an experience driving to the small charming town of Alvito. We were heading north from visiting the Algarve region of Portugal. Upon leaving the highway, one travelled deep into the alentejo plains and countryside. There were more horses, sheep, cows and goats than people. We were waved and pointed toward ALvito by a group of elderly gents in their... More

This Pousada is a small Castle with beautifull gardens with beautiful peacoks. The rooms was large and very clean. At the reception desk a nice and polite lady welcame and drive us to the room. The service and the food at the Restaurant was very good. Sure we will be back. More

We stayed at the Pousada Alvito for one night in Oct '06 on our way to Lisbon. The Alentejo region of Portugal is stunningly beautiful and blissfully short on tourists we found which was great! The Pousada is a fantastic 15th century castle. After check-in we were shown to our room which was rustically furnished & very comfortable with a... More
