REST UNDER THE ROOF OF KINGS AND BARONS

It is worth exploring the long Alentejo plains, dotted by cork trees at a patient pace, to find the "Pousada de Alvito". Home to a long dynasty of barons favored by the king, this is most welcoming and comfortable fortified castle that you can find to rest in.

Welcome to the Alentejo, where time is suspended to allow you to enjoy your holiday as smoothly as possible. To reach the Pousada do Alvito you've already crossed many miles of panoramic and quiet roads, in which the fields of gold open your windows to golden and gentle hills, weaving hypnotically and setting the tone for the following few days: quiet, peaceful, relaxing. Let yourself be captivated and let the days wander to the pace of the fields. The Pousada do Alvito opened in 1993 after the recuperation of the fifteenth century castle. This building has been classified, since 1910, as a National Monument and an example of the best of the Portuguese architecture, which combines the architecture of the fortress and palatial residence and of Islamic, gothic and Manueline influences.
