Pousada Castelo de Alvito

This is a very special place to come and visit. Beautiful property, stunning location and so very peaceful. Our bedroom was huge and comfortable, really did feel like we were staying in a castle! And what made our short stay even more delightful were the wonderful, kind, and attentive staff. Everyone we interacted with spoke amazing English and were so keen to make our stay perfect. Would definitely recommend.

What a lovely surprise this was - staying in a castle on the last night of a long road trip. Our room overlooked the courtyard with big windows which let in plenty of sunlight. There was plenty of storage and beds were comfy, we had a good sleep. The bathroom was a little dark but everything you need is in there and the shower is really good - powerful with plenty of hot water. The aircon in the room was the best we've ever had! Very efficient and a real good plus point - it doesn't switch off when you take your room key out of the slot, so room is nice and cool when you return. We had a meal in the restaurant, a good choice on the menu and not over expensive. Very good wine list too. We had a problem with our dates and needed to amend them last minute, I emailed the hotel early on the day before we were due to arrive and asked if we could come a day early. The problem was dealt with very quickly and when we arrived later in the day the receptionist was expecting us - very impressed :D Alvito looks like a really interesting village and we were disappointed that we only stayed one night so didn't have time to explore. Have booked to return next month for a longer visit.

Impressive and interesting building, somewhat sombre, centrally located in Alvito. Great courtyard. Plenty free parking available. Inside dated. Standard room fairly small with only 1 chair. Bathroom tiny with little space to put your things. Restaurant forgettable from the cafeteria style plasticized menu sheet to the very simple and course main dishes. Better have your lunch or dinner down the road. Breakfast not impressive either with little choice. Staff fine but not overly so. Alvito attractive and so is the countryside around it.

The staff were friendly and polite. There is plenty of parking onsite. Wifi performed well. Breakfast was excellent with a wide selection of options. Our room was plenty large enough, quiet and had lovely garden views. The gardens were beautiful, even in November. Only downside was no kettle in the rooms.

Pedimos uma tábua de queijos, porém, um dos queijos estava podre, estragado, com bolor, no entanto, foi nos cobrado o valor integral pela tábua de queijos! Inicialmente sentimos um sabor diferente e no entanto desagradável, porém, pensamos que poderia ser da qualidade do queijo pois existe uma grande variedade de queijos! Mas, após verificarmos que uma das fatias tinha bolor, informamos os responsáveis de mesa, que reconheceram, porém no final cobraram o valor por inteiro da tábua sem qualquer consideração ou atenção. Esperamos que não haja nenhuma consequência devido o queijo. Uma experiência que não iremos repetir!

Foi a segunda vez que visitei esta Pousada, e voltei a gostar muito! Acho o sítio perfeito para descansar!! O quarto é espaçoso, sem nada a apontar. Gosto muito da piscina. Só tenho pena que já não haver sempre água fresca aromatizada na recepção... Na primeira estadia havia, e confesso que gostei muito. O Alvito é sempre quente no verão, e é agradável ter logo algo fresco a beber quando se chega. O pequeno almoço é impecável, com tudo o que se precisa.

Simpatia e disponibilidade do Staff. Quartos bastante confortáveis. Recomendo vivamente o restaurante. A comida é fantástica e a Chef desdobra-se para fazer o possível e impossível (tendo em consideração que eramos um grupo de 22 pessoas). Muito simpática. Tudo bom. A recomendar

On avait réservé une chambre pour 3 et on s'est retrouvés sans doute dans la plus belle chambre, tout en haut de la tour. Spacieuse et le troisième lit plutôt confortable. Petit jardin avec piscine qui doit être sympathique à la saison chaude. Barman tout à fait compétent (c'est aussi lui qui nous a mené à notre chambre et servi le dîner 😲 et qui était aussi au petit déjeuner). Carte réduite pour le dîner, mais c'était bon, ainsi que notre vin rouge de Vidigueira. Petit déjeuner au soleil avec tout ce qu'il fallait. Tarifs très honnêtes. Seul bémol : l'un des ascenseurs est plutôt pour le service, et à 3 dedans, on y est restés coincés.

Casa de banho com loiças e torneiras fora de prazo. Quarto de reduzida dimensão. Pequeno almoço muito agradável. Localização excelente. Serviço de bar e refeição muito bom. Pena que junto ao nosso quarto estivesse a decorrer um evento para o qual não fomos avisados.
