Pousada Castelo de Alvito

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.

Fomos jantar no restaurante do castelo, onde estávamos hospedados. Fomos super bem atendidos pela funcionária do local, super simpática. Os pratos foram ótimos! Pedimos um típico da região alentejana que era com carne de porco. A entrada foi farinheira, deliciosa e também tradicional de Portugal
