Hotel Description
A delightful conversion of a medieval castle into a luxury hotel in the Pousada group with the former agricultural land surrounding being converted into a superb garden in which many plants of the region are grown.

The castle has fascinating architectural details of Mudejar, Gothic and Manueline styles. One of the main features of the castle are the round towers and high walls which are most unusual in the region.
Luxury Hotel Accommodation
There are 19 bedrooms and 1 suite with a mixture of double and twin beds with ensuite bathrooms.

The building is air conditioned and has a lift and a games room including a pool table.

There is a swimming pool and a restaurant serving traditional dishes of the region.

A feature is the old keep of the castle has been converted into the bar of the Pousada.

The restaurant is known for its excellent cellar of local Alentejo wines.

There are local 'festas' (festivals) in the town of Alvito on the last Sunday of August and again on 1 and 2 of November.

These 'festas' are usually accompanied by letting off many rockets which were used before the days of watches to summon the people to the processions or the festivities.
