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 !!

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

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 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.

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!

The place is full of character. We were the only residents on the night we visited so we had the whole house to ourselves. Lots of drinks to choose from which you can just pay for before you leave.

The breakfast was amazing, too much. I would say if the breakfast was all for you supply a container at a cost and we could take those delicious dishes with us. You were all brilliant. Love Peter & Ruth.xxx

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.

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

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!

Best guesthouse I've been in so far. Totally clean, lovingly furnished and the breakfast was better than in a 5 star hotel. I would have preferred to stay.
