Overall Ratings & Reviews Pousada Convento de Arraiolos - Historic Hotel

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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!

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