Small streets that were once part of the town's Jewish Quarter.

Small but nice museum of the history of Spanish jews fleeing towards Portugal

Nice place to explore by walking.

Lovely small streets, bring comfortable shoes

Everything's perfect.

Part of the jewish history of Portugal

Great place to visit

The castle is really worthwhile visiting. You even can go up to the tower and walk over the roofs of the castle and have a beautiful view of the village and the surroundings. The museum has a military historical exhibition but unfortunately the information is only in Portuguese. It would be a good idea to hand out leaflets with other languages to explain what is written in the various showcases.

Amazing! Make sure that you visit the Jewish synagogue there and the museum.

Nice castle. Sadly we arrived at their lunch break so the tower was closed.

A lovely little town full of interesting history. The Jewish museum was a surprise, nicely done. The pointy eared dog is certainly a lively character, perfectly harmless of course.

Sadly, as of October 2020, the castle is closed for renovation. Some of it can be seen from the outside. You can walk in the narrow cobblestone streets within the walls and marvel at the views (reaching up to Marvão, a nearby wonder) and the tiny houses. In spite of the maintenance work going on the castle, the village is still worthy of the visit.

Castel do vide is a nice town in Portugal with a butiful castle in top of a hill and charming medieval village. A museum in the synagogue tells the story of an interesting Jewish community that lives in the past in the town.

Great views from the castle. The maintenance could be better.

The castle is a ruin under Restauration. To access the tower you must be brave and walk over the roof with no security rail. Not for those afraid of heights

I visited the Castleo de Vide while I was staying 3 nights in Castelo de Vide in November, 2017. The castle is located atop a very steep hill and the walk up on the cobblestone walk is difficult and for me, killed my knees. It's free to walk around and there also is an excellent small museum as you come into the courtyard which is exhibits of the Neolithic megaliths in the area, artifacts found in the area. Very interesting, however, all the information is in Portuguese no English.

Cool historical site with Jewish history.

Potable water, cold and refreshing!

(Translated by Google) Fountain from the 16th century (D. João III), located at the time in the middle of the Jewish quarter of Castelo de Vide. It has a rectangular plan and is covered by a porch supported by 6 Tuscan order columns with a smooth architrave and entablature covered by a pyramidal dome with a pine cone top. In the center of the tank, the urn-shaped fountain with 4 symmetrical spouts and a cubic plinth with the royal weapons carved on one side and the town's weapons on the opposite side. It is one of the local landmarks for its artistic beauty and historical significance. (Original) Fonte do século XVI (D.João III), localizada à época em plena judiaria de Castelo de Vide.

Very nice place to visit. With wax figurines it looks real, with ambient scenes sounds.

The museum is much larger than the entrance would suggest. Free entry & definitely worth a visit to remind us of man's inhumanity to man.

Very moving and well done museum with English translation and subtitles for film. Very lifelike displays.

Awesome.

(Translated by Google) This was an afternoon of culture and in Castelo de Vide a pioneering museum in Portugal was created - the Casa da Inquisição - which shows the history and process of the Inquisition, from its creation to its condemnation at the stake in the acts of faith. Let us frame the history of this repressive apparatus that was the Inquisition. The Portuguese Inquisition was created in 1536 at the request of King John III to Pope Paul III. For 300 years, it had a profound impact on society through its Court of the Holy Office. This institution questioned the population about their deviations from the Catholic faith and identified all those who professed beliefs different from Christian teachings and arrested, persecuted, judged, punished, tortured and killed thousands of people and it is important to highlight that around 203 Castelo-Videnses were target of inquisitorial proceedings for alleged judicializing practices. A visit not to be missed! (Original) Esta foi uma tarde de cultura e em Castelo de Vide foi criado um museu pioneiro em Portugal - a Casa da Inquisição - que mostra a história e o processo da Inquisição, desde a sua criação até à condenação na fogueira nos autos de fé. Façamos um enquadramento história deste aparelho repressivo que foi a Inquisição. A Inquisição Portuguesa foi criada em 1536 a pedido do rei D. João III ao Papa Paulo III. Durante 300 anos, marcou profundamente a sociedade através do seu Tribunal do Santo Ofício. Esta instituição inquiria a população sobre os seus desvios da fé católica e identificava todos aqueles que professavam crenças diferentes dos ensinamentos cristãos e prendeu, perseguiu, julgou, castigou, torturou e matou milhares de pessoas e é importante frisar que cerca de 203 castelo-videnses foram alvo de processos inquisitoriais por alegadas práticas juidaizantes. Uma visita a não perder!

(Translated by Google) Interesting exhibition in a historic building in the Castelo de Vide Jewish quarter. The visit has explanatory panels, latex figures (very well made, very realistic) staging various scenes, and articles from the period. As a note, the explanations are only in Portuguese and English. Free entrance. (Original) Interesante exposición en un edificio histórico de la judería de Castelo de Vide. La visita cuenta con paneles explicativos, figuras en látex (muy bien realizadas,muy realistas) escenificando diversas escenas, y artículos de la época. Como apunte decir que las explicaciones sólo están en portugués e inglés. Entrada gratuita.

(Translated by Google) Opened on March 16, 2023, it is located in the former Casa do Morgado, a bourgeois palace built three centuries ago, which was rehabilitated to house the House of the Inquisition. More than a museum, it proposes an experience that takes us back to the dark days when the Holy Office monitored the uses and customs in Portugal. (Original) Inaugurada em 16 de março de 2023, está localizada na antiga Casa do Morgado, um palacete da burguesia construído há três séculos, que foi reabilitado para acolher a Casa da Inquisição. Mais do que um museu, propõe uma experiência que nos leva aos dias negros em que o Santo Ofício vigiava os usos e costumes em Portugal.

Very attentive male an female waiter,waitresse. Correct and tasteful dishes, good Portuguese soup.Coffee with milk ok and regional red wine. All at a reasonable price.

Amazing food. Service with a smile. Locally sourced wines, olive oil and meats. If you want traditional Portuguese dining experience, this is the place. All done with a smile on their face.

We were on our way to our next stop and we read that along the way, A Confraria was a good restaurant to check out located in Castelo de Vide. When we walked in at 1pm it was full we were advised that they can reserve for us at 2:30pm. My husband and I decided to walk around the town and kill time. It was worth the wait. The servers can barely speak English but thanks to google translate and of course - food is a universal language we got to order - Soup for starters, Beef cheeks and Rabbit with Rice. Food was very good. The service was a bit slow because the place was packed. Waiting for a 2:30 lunch was worth it. If you visit this area - check this place out - try to make reservations because the place is always full

The family that runs the restaurant has several decades of cuisine experience. The husband in the room and wife cooking deliver great and traditional taste. They are gate keepers of traditional flavours of the region, not only the raw material (great produce and local source meat). They have the traditional dishes and game options. You can ask for wine recommendations and be quite happy with it, a great mix of food and wine. Do feel free to ask help about the village and its history. He has been helping a lot of Americans searching for their family normally Jewish roots in Castelo de Vide, even helping them to enter the century old homes of their relatives by speaking to the current owners.

Ah, you gotta love this place. The entrance is a bit hidden in a side street but you sure want to find it. The walls are covered with wine bottles and cartoons making fun of the names of Portuguese dishes. Very attentive young waiters will take your order and counsel you. And you will eat local delicacies. The kick? You can sample the dishes. It is possible to order four samples instead of two full meals to try out much more. And that you should, it is very much worth it Pro Tipp: choose only three sample dishes and let the fourth one be a sample plate of local cheeses and meats.

After several recommendations, The Avenger moved us to perhaps the best restaurant the three of us have been in 2023, after a first attempt to get a dinner at 8pm, they were booked out and we came home to later come back at 9am, since of course they wanted to receive the Best in the World and give him the best table. They received us in the waiting couch, where in a poetry motion they dictated the menu. Your God basically picked everyone's dishes, starters, soup, and dessert, since he wanted everything to be Perfect, what he called the Gift Of the Avenger! The sound of silence was amazing, the ventilation system superb, it didn't seem to be winter outside, and the smell of food, incredible, The GOAT felt home, in the Mount Olimp. He was so excited, with a baby's smile while listening to the history of the black Iberian pig, and his accurate way of eating acorn. Each dish came even better than the previous one, making Your God kaiting everything and everywhere, even his Reguengo was kissed by himself. The cherry on top, was when your Divorcee mentioned his former wife "she never cooked like this, we should teach every women and men how to have the basic cooking skills as they have in Confraria, Im eating in heaven, I'll move here and populate this place" I guess he can keep thinking of happy ways to die, and after this phenomenal meal and special attention, we can all die to keep your God shining like a diamond he is

Have been dining at A Confrária for years - look for it on the right side in the tiny Rua de Santa Maria do Baixo a few steps in from the church plaza. The food is simple, typical Alentejano fare, served with charm and grace. It’s clear that they want you to be happy with your meal, the service is so friendly and careful. Not to be missed.

Always a truly lovely experience eating in Confraria. The gaspacho is one of a kind and wonderfully fresh in a hot summer day. Hard to recommend one dish as everything is usually incredible and the staff always lovely! Will return every time I'm in Castelo de Vide

Excellent and wonderful food experience 👏👌 so good and so traditional. The employees are wonderful people very kind 🙏👍 please come 👍

Spanish dining, no vegan dishes but accommodated us by cooking something simple especially...

Authentic food with a great atmosphere. The staff is top notch!!

If you're visiting Castelo de Vide, you have to try Dom Pedro V. It's one of the oldest restaurant in the village, offering a great selection of local portuguese dishes where the food is very tasty and the portions are big. The restaurant has plenty of room, so it's good for larger groups. The staff is friendly but expect some delays specially if the restaurant is packed.

Food was excellent. Highly recommend Black Pork Secrets.

Reserved for 1900; wasn’t open for 1900. Staff waiting to go in was laughing at us. We had guests who do not eat this late and they took the reservation. When it opened, the waiter said ‘it would be better at 1930’ but if really needed we could sit down. Very strange.

Excellent food and service. Most dishes are really traditional and it's in the center of Castelo de Vide village, which makes it even more interesting.

I had dinner two nights in a row at Dom Pedro's restaurant in Castelo de Video in November, 2017 while on my bicycle tour of Portugal. Outstanding food and service. I had the pork medallions one night and pork loin another night both dishes are enough for two people as it came with french fries (almost filled the plate) and rice as well as bread. I also had the Marques de Borba wine each night with dinner and highly recommend that wine..outstanding. Highly recommend this restaurant!

One of the few options available if dining after 20:30 but be ready for a long wait to be seated and to get your food as the place is really busy and staff tend to be a bit overwhelmed. Food quality is average perhaps because we were one of the last parties to be served. Kids menu is a good deal though. In my opinion, there are better restaurants to enjoy when in the area.

Restaurant is where the local people eat. Great view while you ate. Did have a selected menu, but the waiter spoke English.

I was disappointed at the experience. The staff are rude and seem to dislike outsiders and foreigners. The food is over priced and not very good.

The food is good enough considering the price, but even though the menu is huge, they only have a few things available. They also didn't seem very organised with the service.

Great food, view and service!

Good English breakfast. Tasty bacon. Milkshake was also nice. Friendly staff.

A little gem for lunch tucked away in a small corner with a lovely balcony and view. Wonderful pasties. Besides pizza they offer Great daily specials and sandwiches. Staff are friendly and the service was very good. They also have s courtyard with mutiple tables. Ptices are very good.

Few tasty ice cream flavors. Quiet corner.Friedly staff

Very good restaurant. I’ve been there for 2 times at lunch time. Staff very friendly, food very good. When get in you won’t notice the gorgeous views you will find on the back of this restaurant. Highly recommended

Fantastic place to have good wine and tapas. That is what they advertise and indeed it is what you get! Well recommended if when you visit!

Excellent food, friendly service, nice atmosphere. Had the entrecosto com bacon and the pão recheado. Both very tasty.

Everything at Pirolito was outstanding. From simply the olives to the food, the wine, the desserts, the service and the prices! If you're in or around Castelo de Vide and looking for Portuguese tapas style cuisine, you cannot go wrong with anything that's on the menu at this lovely decorated restaurant. Be sure to say hi to the owner and chef, she will be delighted to hear from you. Highly recommend!

Enjoyable for a change of pace, not quite good enough to crack our weekly rotation. Nothing specifically, food was good but not excellent. Tried sausage and cheese boards, soup, no major dishes. Definitely give it a try to see if it is fit for your tastes!

We came here after striking out on a number of other locations (busy Friday night). This should have been our number one choice and we'll be back with every visit to the region. The service was outstanding and everything we ate was absolutely fantastic! An easy, delicious, and comforting experience we'll appreciate for years to come.

Super friendly, small and cozy place with live music at times, provided by the daughter of the owner. Very good food, small portions (tapas) great local drinks like artisanal beers. Can be crowded at times since it is small but it's worth the wait.

Very good restaurant! Dulce is adorable! And the food and services amazing!

In a lovely town packed with well-regarded restaurants, Pirolito stands out offering tapas as well as larger dishes, prepared to order, so you can have a light lunch as we did or a full meal. Service and food were impeccable and even if you only stop by for a glass of wine, the dining room is calm, relaxing and chic. Firmly recommended.
