We were here for a residency interview with SEF, the immigration agency. We didn't stay long enough to have a big opinion, but the place we stayed was nice, and we had a great vegan meal at Hokkaido, a restaurant in town. We parked right by the castle. The churches were beautiful too.

Small city where you can go anywhere on foot or by bicycle, but consider that is very hot in the Summer and cold on Winter. There are dozens of places to eat and try the rich and splendid Alto Alentejo gastronomy.
The Historical Center is not so big, but it's well preserved with some old palaces and lots of traditional houses (Alto Alentejo's traditional architecture).
The Portalegre's Museum is a must with a gorgeous Sacred Art collection. It has also an important Portuguese Faience collection and the biggest Ratinhos Ceramics and Tobbaco Ceramic Boxes exposition that I have seen so far.
The Cathedral is WOW!! There are 96 fantastic italian paitings from the second half of the XVI century (Maneiristas).
Don't forget to visit the magnificent convents: São Bernardo, São Francisco, Santa Clara and Santo Agostinho.

Interesting town. Very much liked the Tapestry museum.
Interesting town. Very much liked the Tapestry museum. The Restaurante "O Escondidinho" was very good. Owner speaks excellent English and the food is varied and well cooked. We couldn't resist the "biscuit cake" - gorgeous!

The city is quiet and safe to visit.
The city is quiet and safe to visit. However, the Rede express officer at the bus station was unfriendly. He requested me to pay twice for the same trip because of the error of their officer who put a wrong departure time on my first receipt. He even answered me rudely in English saying "I don't speak English!"
Casa da Pedra - Quinta do Briando has an amazing swimming pool, with a breathtaking view over the Serra de S.Mamede. The house itself has all the necessary amenities and offers a lot of privacy. The location is perfect: in the outskirts of Portalegre, but near to the city center, and just a few km far from other picturesque villages.
The house is more beautiful than it seems in the pictures and the terrace where you can eat or rest is wonderful :)
Definitely recommended.
What a gem of a place!! We had to be in portalegre for an appointment on monday and decided to go a couple days early. I had stayed in a hotel in town before and was weary of short term apartments! The hotel was booked so we found this place. We were SOOO pleasantly surprised. Jaime and his wife were so kind and welcoming. The apartment is absolutely gorgeous, so well designed, has every ammenity you need and perfectly located! We will definitely be back here!
José was one of the best hosts we ever had the pleasure to meet. He immediately took care of some hiccups with the WiFi and was a pleasure to chat with.
The breakfast was outstanding, felt more like having breakfast at a friend’s house than at a hotel or guesthouse. All local products and properly explained by José. And his mom provided so home made cookies and more.
If you’re in the area check if they have a room.
This is a really nice rural self-catering place. We have stayed there before - it's near our daughter's home - so it's convenient for what we needed. I think it would make a good base for anyone visiting the area; it's near enough to Portalegre for you to get your shopping and so forth, and in easy reach of the tourist bits at Marvao. Our grandson is very impressed with the baby goats, as well.
We really love the experience of being guests at Casa do Patio. Casa do Patio is located in the old center of Portalegre and felt like in a time capsule that took us to the first half of the previous century, still offering all commodities a guest can expect today. In top of this, Dora ,the host and his family, were super mice and made us immediately feel like we were staying with friends.
Incredible historical property providing a quintessential Alentejo experience. The property despite historical/old is very well kept, and you can see how much attention to detail has been put by the (very kind) property owners in every corner. The swimming pool is absolutely outstanding, merging perfectly into the Alentejo background, giving a sense of freedom and harmony.
We found in this quiet hotel a good rest on our way to Evora. Friendly welcome, clean and spacious room, very good breakfast and free parking, which is always an important plus. Some remains of the ancien convent in which it is set add a romantic feeling and give a "soul" to this highly recommendable rural guesthouse.
A nice hotel, spacious and spotless rooms, very welcoming and friendly (Portuguese style:-) in a wonderful town. Portalegre surprises like the alentejo wines, robust yet elegant, nostalgic for the past yet hungry for more. A city in transition, waiting to be discovered and enjoyed!
Also the breakfast was amazing...
It was a beautiful hotel. The room was well done with comfortable beds, linens, lots of wood and tile, and we had a balcony overlooking the pool and farm land. The breakfast was great with made to order eggs and breads and cheese, yogurts, etc. There were also many good restaurants in Portalegre nearby.
Portalegre is not really a holiday destination, it happened to be a convenient overnight halt on our route. As a result the choice of a nearby restaurant was extremely limited. However the rooms were of good size, warm and reasonably well equipped if a bit dated. A good breakfast was welcomed.
Breakfast was very good a good selection fruit yoghurt bread with cooked eggs bacon and mushrooms.
Parking at the rear in the garden.
The decor of the hotel finished to a high standard in a traditional style
Spatious rooms with garden access to pool
The location couldn't be better. Bang in the centre of Portalegre. 3 Large bedrooms, a superb kitchen, a big shower. But the biggest asset is the location - and the price is hard to beat. This will be my first choice for future visits to Portalegre.
the hotel was spotless clean. it was a lovely hotel and quite comfortable with a balcony overlooking the city. the staff were very kind and helpful. the breakfast was absolutely amazing!
Situated right in the city center, this hotel offers a very good price-quality relation. Rooms are nicely decorated, beds are comfortable, breakfast is good... where else do you need?
Everything. Room was big and comfortable. Breakfast was amazing with homemade dishes. The staff was extremely helpful. I fully recommend this jewel in Portalegre
The hotel is very well located in the heart of Alentejo. Friendly staff. The room is cozy and very well decorated with every appliance you will need. Fast wifi.
