A hotel reused in an old monastery, a special experience. The surrounding natural environment is very good, and it feels great to walk to the town of Arraiolos!
A group of our friends checked in, and there was only one staff member at the counter. They handled the check-in patiently and the service was good!

Very good location with a phenomenal view and framing where we can see a 360º view with a view of the castle. Excellent for resting, relaxing, great conditions of the hotel. In terms of 5-star service. The staff always very attentive, professional, available, and very friendly. Being a historic inn, it has many corners and very beautiful areas such as a church, large rooms, cloister with fountain, swimming pool is very generous, pet friendlly, etc.

A labyrinth of adventure and possibilities included in a magical place. The former male convent has an absolutely beautiful chapel. The view outside from the terrace looks upon agricultural terrain to fortresses castle to a small whitewashed village.

My experience at the inn was fantastic! My wife and I loved every moment we spent in Alentejo, especially being able to relax for a few nights in Arraiolos. Our stay at the inn was a highlight. It was a unique experience that I wholeheartedly recommend.

Had a wonderful stay at Pousada de Arraiolos for a teambuilding action. Great breakfast and very friendly staff! The room was very confortable and the bathroom was very spacious. Would definitely book this hotel on my next time in the area.

Staying in a historic place full of history that was preserved is always something to retain. On top of that feel being well received is always good. The place is amazing, the people are friendly, definitely a place to return and enjoy not only the Pousada but also the Arraiolos village and the surrounds.

Staff efficient and sympathetic, an excellent room with nice view on the countryside. Wonderful building with a beautiful decoration. The village of Arraiolos is very nice and has some good restaurants.

Our stay, three nights in mid March was thoroughly enjoyable and so relaxing. The pousada is lovely, the surroundings are beautiful and the room is well appointed and very comfortable. Breakfast buffet is great, so much choice - where to stop enjoying. The management and all staff are so welcoming, helpful and friendly. If we could score the overall experience as 11 / 10 we would do so. The surrounding area is lovely - we enjoyed visiting Arraiolos, Evora and Estremoz. We were sad to leave however most certainly we will return for another lovely stay. We will be recommending the pousada to friends.

Fabulous Pousada, excellent service (obrigada Catarina S.), lovely facilities, gorgeous breakfast. Would love an onsite restaurant but the bar food was delicious and prompt. Hope to return soon to use the pool and sauna, likely in the summer

The pousda is a lovely 16th century convent which has been converted into a hotel, set in the middle of the countryside but just outside the small town. The staff are friendly and helpful and the rooms are comfortable. However, we were there at a rainy period and the hotel is too cavernous and a little soulless to be cosy for that. My greatest disappointment though was the way that the stunning and architecturally important church was treated. It was full of pigeons, nesting in the altar and perching on the ancient gilt statues. When I brought this to the attention of the receptionist, I was told that the management know this but there is little she can do as the church doors need to be left wide open for the guests. Why????? Can’t guests open a door? What will happen is that the pigeons will damage everything in the church despite the management knowing about it. Shame on them!!

This pousada, which has been converted from a former convent, was one of our favorite places to stay in Portugal. The building was beautiful, the rooms, comfortable and light, the views, broad and peaceful, and the staff, wonderful and attentive. We spent a lot of time in the big pool, too. Both the dinner and breakfast spread, which was included in the room price, were very good.

I research everything but with this one, no need. Just book it! Superb conversion of a lovely convent in a peaceful location. Great for drive to Evora. Breakfast of high standard with good coffee options. Lovely bathroom. We like a balcony but accepted none this time as room and place SO nice. Enjoyed a stroll up to the castle ruins for sunset. Would love to stay again.

I stayed at this Pousada with my husband, my brother and his wife to celebrate my birthday. I am Portuguese and my husband is English so we often travel to Portugal. I've stayed at many Pousadas and at other hotels in Portugal. Arraiolos is one of the best. The staff are very attentive and friendly, the rooms comfortable and clean, as well as functional and without losing the special character of the place as a former historic convent. It is set in lovely grounds, peaceful and quiet, just 1 or 2 km from the pretty village of Arraiolos - famous for its handcrafted rugs and a gateway to the Alentejo region - one of Portugal's most welcoming and least known provinces. The food both at breakfast and dinner was tasty and good quality. The bar could have a wider selection of drinks but it didn't matter in the end. The outdoor swimming pool is very pleasant. We all had a very enjoyable time. It was the second time we stayed at this Pousada and we loved it both times.
