Largo do Castelo 9 7920-999 Alvito /Beja (Alentejo|Portugal)
As well as being a national monument, the guest will find in this 15th century castle property of the Baron of Alvito what has been the eventual residence of several Portuguese monarchs. Its dignified façade finished with a wall and crenellated towers contrasts with the prolific interior richness in the form of gothic, Mudejar and Manueline elements. On top of these there is current interior design in very good taste, where the tapestried headboards, the red carpets and the rich patterns stand out. At night, subtle lighting embellishes the crenellated inner patio.
