A historic station to discover, share, and live

Imagine waking up in a 19th-century railway station, once a meeting point between Portugal and Spain, now transformed into a comfortable and character-filled retreat in the heart of the Serra de São Mamede Natural Park. Train Spot Guesthouse, in the village of Beirã (Marvão), offers much more than just a place to sleep — here, you experience a journey through time, surrounded by the tranquility of nature and the rich culture of the Portuguese-Spanish borderlands.

The main building, with 400 m², has been carefully adapted to accommodate up to 14 guests exclusively, preserving the soul and original architectural details of the station. For larger groups, there are also two independent apartments on the same property, each accommodating up to 4 people, allowing for a total capacity of 22 guests.

Inside, the large lounge (80 m²) with air conditioning is the perfect meeting point for meals, gatherings, or social moments. There’s also a separate living room with sofas, a TV, and board games, as well as a fully equipped kitchen for those who prefer to prepare their own meals. Outside, a covered porch and a garden invite you to enjoy the long Alentejo afternoons.

A year-round destination
During your stay, you can explore both the Portuguese and Spanish sides of the border. We’re just minutes from Marvão, Castelo de Vide, and the Roman ruins of Ammaia, but also close to Cáceres and Badajoz in Spain.

Perfect for groups
