Anyone arriving at Casas de Marvão is greeted by the serenity of the mountains and the majesty of the medieval castle that dominates the landscape.

The two houses owe their name to the granite stones that surround them and categorise the surrounding landscape and environment. These stones are known in the region as canchos or queixos, depending on where they are located or who mentions them.To stay in Queixos is to feel the calm and tranquillity that the large stones transmit to those who stay there.

Nestled on one of the most beautiful hillsides in Marvão, the houses offer the perfect refuge for those who want to connect with nature and history. Surrounded by an atmosphere of tranquillity and breathtaking views, they invite you to a relaxing stay, where rural charm blends with modern comfort.

Here, time seems to stand still, providing unforgettable moments in one of Portugal's most picturesque panoramas.
