Go to Beja to stay at Maria’s!!! And then see the city. Liked · Maria’s guesthouse was an exceptional experience! Big, comfortable room; wonderful big bathroom; fabulous location; beautifully decorated with art, antiques and excellent crafts; wonderfully nice and helpful staff; and best of all: the breakfast was the BEST breakfast we have had in any hotel in Portugal, or elsewhere for that matter. GO TO BEJA IF FOR NO REASON THAN TO GO TO MARIA’S!!!

Disliked · There is nothing at all. This is an exceptional place. DO NOT be put off by the “guesthouse” title. This is a lovely, small boutique with all the amenities you need.

Located in old town, steps from restaurants. Medium size room very comfortable bed. Exceptional quality linen, pillows and comforter. We got very relaxing sleep. Breakfast was so great eating celebration with variety of fresh tropical fruits, yogurt, cold cuts, omelette, home baked sourdough bread and variety of sweet.

The room was located on second floor with stairways not very comfortable to climb. Although there are other rooms on the ground floor accessible from the patio.

Maria's Guesthouse is a family-run, truly unique accommodation. Maria, Paulo and their staff put their hearts and souls into providing an exceptional experience for their guests. The house and the smallest details of the rooms have been created with taste and care. There is a lovely courtyard where you can relax, enjoy the evening and chat. Breakfast was plentiful, very tasty and far exceeded expectations.

I stayed a wide range of type of accommodations around the world, and I really cannot say anything that they could do better.

Maria's guesthouse was exceptional in every sense. Her directions, welcome and guidance were so helpful and complete. The location is perfect. Everything about the house too is wonderful. She has put a great deal of thought, effort and love into designing and decorating it to an extraordinarily high level. The breakfast is literally amazing. Stay here if you can and enjoy. Thankyou Maria.

Amazing Guesthouse. Central location with parking 2 mins away. Pet friendly. A gorgeous place with beautiful rooms. Each bedroom a different theme associated to Beja history. The interior of the guesthouse is a feast of exquisite antiques with modern art and is a welcoming and lovingly renovated home. Mariana Alcoforado was our bedroom with a view of the castle. Breakfast was absolutely fantastic. Pastries, fresh fruits, fresh melon juice, yoghurt, cooked meats & cheeses, scrambled eggs and one of the most delicious pumpkin & nut preserves I’ve ever had home made by Paulo. Maria, Paulo & all the family were generous with their warm Portuguese hospitality and ready laughter. A gem of a place.

Nothing.

Maria’s Guesthouse was right in the center of the charming town of Beja. We arrived a few hours early, called a number on the front door, and Maria came within a few minutes to open her door. The rooms were clean, quite and very comfortable. We relaxed on the courtyard patio then walked around to do some shopping. She and her son Paulo were excellent host and gave us recommendations for dinner that evening at Dom Dinis which was a wonderful Portuguese meal of assorted grilled beef and pork. Awoke the next morning to a beautiful breakfast prepared by Maria and her staff. Best breakfast we had during our 10 days in Portugal!

Parking was limited but easily available a block from the entrance.

We loved our stay at Maria's Guesthouse and were delighted to be able to park so close to the accommodation especially as we were in the middle of a really old town with very small streets to negotiate. The breakfast was simply amazing! To be greeted each morning with so much fresh fruit and gorgeous homemade jams and cakes as well as yogurt, eggs, bacon, sausages, cold meats, local cheeses, warm croissants. We didn't need to eat all day!

It was a beautiful comfortable, clean. home. The host had parking and the breakfast was exceptional.

We felt a little bit uncomfortable intruding on the personal life of the family living there. The room had some scented items in the bathroom and I’m extremely sensitive to smells, but they were happy to remove it !!

The house is very beautiful, all the interior design is very nicely done and gives one that cosy feeling. Very clean. Host and staff very helpful and hospitable. Amazing breakfast. Close to city centre of Beja

A tad too pricey for the town of Beja and what the city has to offer. Other than that, no negative aspect.

I really like the place,the staff top class, paulo and family, especially people .the entire place the interiors and external decorations are out of this world, unique combinations of antiques . Olso I whant to imform the breakfast was the best ever I eat like a king 🤴.

Everything was perfection, relaxation and this is the best place to stay in Beja and surrounding ereas.
