Pousada Convento de Arraiolos - Historic Hotel

Stunningly beautiful! Breakfast surprisingly poorly arranged buffet, inconvenient to use. Shower also very difficult to use. Still enjoyed stay immensely!

Sugestão; colocar placa de “silêncio por favor junto à piscina.” Implementar grelha de verão para oferta equilibrada de refeições simples: peixe e carnes grelhadas, batata, salada — a preços moderados.

Lovely restored old convent building, a little inaccessible if you didn't arrive by car

Amazing place great room, two swimming pools good restaurant,if slightly limited menu but friendly staff Ideal for a trip to Evora which is about 15 miles away with good parking just outside town.also not far from a megalithica worth a vist but it is a long hike up the hill to see it.

Beautiful , quiet property, away from town. Modern room. Nice breakfast.

Trevligt ställe me imponerande ytor. Rummen rymliga, välstädade och bra iordningställda. Frukosten var riktigt bra men när det blev mycket folk på helgen blev det lite kaotiskt med köer o mat som tog slut snabbare än påfyllningen. Vi åt också middag på hotellet och det var bra men en väldigt liten meny. Vi hade med oss en hund och den trivdes. När vi bokade genom hotels.com stod det djurvänligt men ingenting om att det fanns en viktbegränsning. Det fick jag se när jag besökte hotellets hemsida och efter att ha pratat fram och tillbaka med hotellreceptionen så tillfrågades hotellchefen som efter ett tag kom tillbaka med att det var ok att göra ett undantag för vår hund. 30€ per natt för hund är dyrt och är förmodligen prissatt för att hålla ner antalet besökande hundar. Omgivningen är fantastiskt vacker men promenadstråk är väldigt begränsade beroende på stängslade hagar och marker. Pool området var väldigt fint och välordnat och även inomhuspoolen var trevlig och rimligt stor.

The place was really beautiful and quiet. The balcony was a plus as you could relax there. The staff were very attentive. Leonel was especially sweet and thoughtful when we requested to take our order from the bar to our room. He carried 2 trays of food to our room, even though room service wasn’t available.

Unique property, very quiet and away from town

The history of the building and unique features.

Very quiet and relaxing

Serviço de bar/restaurante inaceitável.

Reception was robotic and not in the least welcoming. Room and hotel very good as was pool area. Restaurant not open. Breakfast OK. Been to many Pousadas, this one the bottom rung. Pity as nice building and setting.

Room was great and specious. Balcony was comfortable to watch the view. The only thing, during the day it’s quite warm in the room. Good and service is great too.

Lovely and quite getaway from lisbon if you are into nature and wine

Aside from the kitchen not being able to serve lunch or dinner, the breakfast buffet was excellent. The staff is wonderful and easy to communicate with as we speak English as our primary language. The rooms were clean and comfortable.

Tyvärr var restaurangen stängd men vi fick utmärkt service med mat och dryck via baren, utmärkt service. Ett mycket vackert hotell med vackra omgivningar. Vår hund fick en mycket uppskattad present, ett varmt tack. Ett hotell som vi kommer att besöka igen.

Very tired pousada. Needs a paint job and a good cleaning. The bed was very hard making it an uncomfortable sleep. The sheets were hard and scratchy. This hotel didn’t seem like the other paradors and pousadas that I’ve stayed in, in the past.

Bom hotel, boa área de lazer. Sugestão para melhorar o café da manhã e sua diversidade de opções que ainda é aquém do nível do hotel e o que ele se propõe. Bons quartos e bem limpo.

Bellissimo convento del ‘500 con annessa cappella con azulejos che da sola male il viaggio. Personale molto cordiale e ottima colazione. Camere ampie e comode e spazi enormi che includono piscine e un maneggio.

El hotel muy original y el destino muy ad hoc pero el personal de recepción poco comprometido con el producto y el destino, en el restaurante intentaron pero falta capacitación y ambientación.

Lugnt fridfullt läge. Bra rum men tafatt service i restaurangen. Poolen var dåligt städad

Para nós um regresso a casa. Atendimento e serviço ao nível do expectável, num ambiente único.

Poolen var smutsig med en massa löv och grenar. Restaurangen var under all kritik! Middagen oätlig och jättedyr. Vinet smakade ammoniak och fick bytas ut. Ät någon annanstans!

The building is beautiful from the outside. The rooms are dated, with old/damaged furniture. Dusty and with dirty carpets with stains that had been there for ages. Disappointing for a property with so much potential.

Ficámos decepcionados com o quarto, que não correspondia ao que estava nas fotos do vosso site. Enganam as pessoas mostrando um produto que não corresponde à realidade. Não usaremos mais ou recomendaremos este site

A splendid work of architecture, extending the monastery into an actual hotel, convenient and comfortable. Exceedingly integrated in a wonderful landscape, the freshness of trees, sweet slopes of beautiful hills, an oasis in the Alentejo heat. Fantastic experience.

Ruim, grote kamer, hoog plafond en in goede staat.

The Pousada is set in a wonderful location in a peaceful valley surrounded by beautiful woodlands and meadows. It’s hard to imagine a more idyllic setting. The main features of the Convent have been tastefully preserved with modern facilities added to ensure all comforts and convenience. All staff were very welcoming and helpful. We ate in the restaurant for four evenings and found the service and food quality good. The menu was the same each evening and a wider choice would have been preferred. However, stay here. It’s great.! Forgot to mention.It’s a great breakfast.

We shared and peaceful and joyful night in the country side.

Excellent property. Very comfortable beds very comfortable sheets. Huge balcony with beautiful views. Wonderful stay !

Lovely hotel in middle of countryside

We loved the hotel, the rooms are spacious and modern with a large bathroom and black out shutters, we slept so well! The setting is beautiful in the middle of the Alentejo countryside and the hotel combines the old monastery with modern design beautifully. If there was a criticism, it would be that staff at breakfast could be a bit friendlier - it felt like they were trying to avoid you, and that the hedge around the pol area is cut down. It’s a shame to be in such a stunning setting and not to have a view from the pool. Everything else was great and would come back

Très paisible, une belle découverte qui vaut le détour. Peu achalandé, nous avons donc profité au maximum de l'endroit.

Nice place, quiet and with a lot of space.

暖かい出迎えをして頂き、感謝しています。今後も機会があれば、再訪したい施設です。

This is the place for a quiet getaway outside of a small town. The pousada is very very clean and the breakfast is just fine...all that you need!

Belle rénovation d'un patrimoine exceptionnel dans 1 bel environnement. Prestation de bon niveau, 1 étape que je conseillerai sans la moindre hésitation.

Loved the property, Maria at front desk was so kind.

Beautiful hotel, great staff, really friedly and professional. The location is great, in the countryside with great views, very quiet and great to rest and enjoy the country. Must see the church of the pousada. Arraiolos is a nice vilage, with some cultural things to do and very good restaurants. Highly recomend.

Beautiful historic property sensitively transformed into a hotel. The surroundings are peaceful and unspoiled

Ett historiskt spännande hotell som en gång varit ett kloster. Mycket trevlig och god service. Fräckt utsmyckat med krukor och gamla föremål samt mattor från regionen och rent allmänt propert. Det kunde finnas fler eluttag för laddaren och högre till takduchen än 190 cm. Men vi var mycket nöjda.

Nice room, location attractive, pool area good but 3km from town & restaurant expensive with not much choice

Pousada muito bonita, limpa e bem conservada. Local agradável para famílias com crianças pequenas. Os quartos são bastante espaçosos, com camas grandes e boa insonorização. Staff simpático e muito atencioso. Pequeno almoço bom, com bastante variedade. Área das piscinas bem cuidada.

Despite the good location , the facility needs refurbishment

Uma vergonha o pequeno almoço Sem comida e sem pratos Nunca vi coisa assim Péssima experiência que estraga a beleza da Pouzada Ainda me reduziram o preço mas nada compensa a vergonha

Nous avons été très déçus Au niveau du restaurant : tables non desservies donnant l impression d être dans une cafétéria, Buffet du petit déjeuner non approvisionné ( 2 malheureuses tranches de jambon, plus de fruits frais), œufs brouillés froids......et en plus un personnel sans aucune initiative ( par exemple remettre des tasses à disposition des clients) et PAS SOURIANTS !!!! Nettement en dessous des pousada que nous avons fréquentées auparavant

Pequeno almoço com pouca variedade e falta de acessórios disponíveis (pratos, copos, talheres, etc).

As you would expect a converted convent. Spa retreat is appealing. Try the dinner in the village and have black pig and mashbread asparagus.

We picked this hotel for it's quiet secluded location it was exactly what we needed to unwind and relax.

Friendly check in by David and Carla. Wonderful rooms and so many areas To relax, sit and enjoy the quiet and the scenery. Nice breakfast and Pedro looked after our needs well. Location is great, closeto Losbpn and other smal towns. Hated to leave

We ended up in this pousada after we were not able to get accommodation in Evora. Initially we booked for 2 nights but we were so impressed with this property that we stayed an extra day. We used it as a base to tour the surrounding countryside and the medieval towns. Would definitely recommend it and would stay here again.

A most peaceful and beautiful place with a fascinating local town

Quiet, peaceful hotel and location. I would rate it at a four star rather than five. The standard rooms are quite small so it is worth viewing the room first and consider upgrading to the larger room. No entertainment or night life. Hotel is a fantastic old building with a lovely church attached and beautifully preserved ceilings and convent cloisters. It is quite a walk to the nearest village in the heat as it is all uphill. The food was just average and as there were very few guests staying there were not many staff around. It is quite convenient to stay here and visit Evora which is about 11kms away. Stay at this hotel if you want a quiet relaxing break and a very different experience to a chain hotel.

I traveled to Arraiolos to attend the annual festival that celebrates the eponymous tapestries. The festival was amazing and I'm so pleased that I had the opportunity to attend! This Pousada is not in town but set about 1 mile out of town. The location is pretty spectacular with beautiful views, an extraordinary little church and a beautiful kitchen garden on the property. I made my reservations late and the only room left was the smallest. It was small and the bathroom was a litle "creepy" and the view overlooking the parking garage was accessed by a small window that you couldn't open because there was no screen. The service was kindly delivered by various young professionals. A big, delicious plate of fruit was brought to my little room each afternoon which I enjoyed and appreciated. They made arrangements with the tourist office for a private tour of the town. The breakfast buffet was generous. Dinner was expensive and tasty - but service was a very slow, too slow for a person traveling alone. Internet connection was available in common areas only. If I return, I will opt for a nicer, larger room.

We very much enjoyed our stay in the Pousada de Arraiolos. The staff were exceptionally helpful and polite. We ate in the restaurant on our first night which was delicious (although on the expensive side) and the experience was very much enhanced by the knowledgeable staff who were more than happy to answer our questions on Portuguese specialities. The hotel is very calm, has been beautifully restored and redesigned and has a great view onto the castle of Arraiolos. A lovely place to go to relax, be treated well and enjoy the quiet. A good base for visiting the local wineries, Evora and the various megalithic structures.
