Pousada Convento Arraiolos

We hosted a family wedding at this Pousada. We were looked after very well by the reception and restaurant staff. Our guests praised the tranquil setting and historic character of the venue. |The village also offers a couple of restaurants and is walkable if you fancy a change.|Our wedding meal including traditional duck with rice was first class and the wines were highly rated by our thirsty guests.|The bedrooms are large and airy and can be kept cool with the heavy shutters.|Well done to all the staff.

We arrived an hour before check-in time thinking we would have lunch in the bar which is advertised on the website. The bar was not open, apparently due to a shortage of staff. We had to go into the village to get food and came back again at 15:15 (check-in is at 15:00) but our room was not ready. Reception said if we went to the dining room we could get a drink. We had a glass of wine and an hour later were finally able to go to our room. (The wine was not complementary - it was on our bill when we checked out.) It was not the best start. The evening meal was also disappointing as the roasted vegetable salad came without a single roasted vegetable. The positives are the beautiful and peaceful location and the superior family room with balcony was comfortable with a stunning view over the valley up to the village. However, I would not use the hotel again due to the disappointment of being unable to get even a light snack when arriving and the inconvenience of being unable to check-in at the correct time.

I could've sang in the church all day long, but I didn't want to be rude! This place is so beautiful, unique, and serene. Such a special experience. Phillipa (I think that was her name) at the front desk was very welcoming and helpful. I wish I could return!

A fabulous hotel - one of the most beautiful, comfortable and peaceful we have ever stayed in. It offers a wonderful blend of stylish modern interiors, an elegant historic building and a calm and picturesque rural setting.

A quaint little hotel on the outskirts of Arraiolos. We stayed there for a couple of nights and had a great time. The large fireplace is permanently lit and it's great to just sit down and have a meal by the fire. The restaurant was closed, but you can order food from the bar, which we found to have good portions and reasonable prices. The indoor pool has a great view and there's also a sauna (though you have to walk through some corridors and the gym between the two). Service was very good; kudos to the staff!

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.

Very peaceful place. The renovation of this convent is simply Amazing ! Each detail so nice.|Amazing breakfast. Inside and outside swimming pool, sauna, just for the 2 if us at that time of the year. Very sympathetic employees. Just Magic. I highly recommend.

A beautiful place to relax. The location is a little remote, but if you are looking for exactly, it will be the right decision. We felt very comfortable. The staff was very friendly. The room had a great greeting and a good location. The aircondition worked great, which was especially important here (very hot in July). The two pools and the garden are very beautiful. We say thank you and see you next time!

A lovely place to enjoy a weekend with or without kids. A lot of sitting rooms to enjoy a book or play a game. The only view you can see it's the typical Alentejo landscapes
