Pousada Castelo Alvito

Your entire stay in this castle is full of curious and poignant details. For example, it is certainly the first time that you will get your breakfast at a buffet situated in the old dungeon of a castle. This room, now so ably comfortable and accessible, still retains the trapdoor that led to the keep; as well as the grid through which the prisoners came to their arrest.

The restaurant room overlooks the courtyard and it is here, overlooking Islamic windows and Alentejo cypresses, that you can taste the best gastronomy the region has to offer.
