Description
A HISTORIC VACATION IN THE EAGLE'S NEST
Come spend a few days in Marvão, the village where you can see the eagles fly down the slopes. Set on a granite massif, Pousada de Santa Maria is surrounded by peace, tranquility and beauty which will inspire a unique and absolutely original stay.
Overlooking Spain and the Serra da Estrela region, Pousada de Marvão is perched between restored white houses, giving visitors the feeling of living above the clouds - as it is often covered in fog - and of staying in the only real space in many miles. This typical inn features two lit fireplaces, with the crackle of aromatic wood burning. And on the outside, a paradise for ornithology lovers, with several birdwatching routes. The location is equally charming in the summer, with days of unlimited visibility providing absolutely memorable images.
LOCATION
Travel back in time and let yourself be won over by the imposing mass of granite rocks on which this village lies, seemingly oblivious to the movement of the outside world. Cruise through the magnificent road connecting Castelo de Vide - also worth a visit - and Marvão, and marvel at the landscape and the trees that line the road.
