We stayed for one night in this sleepy little town in the Alentejo after 3 nights in the Sheraton Algarve. What a contrast - and one for the better if you like the real Portugal. The building is just lovely with monumental public areas (including a chapel), private parking and an excellent location in the old town. We were able to walk easily to the castle and shops (not much else to see in Beja... more

Two of us stayed here for one night in March 2008. We choose the Pousada because it had a high rating in Michelin, 4 red houses. We had a nice room, a former convent cell, which was very comfortable.

Sympathique et assez confortable, le lieu n'est cependant pas une des plus belles pousadas. La chambre, du moins la notre est petite, meublée sans grande originalité. on se sent mieux hors de la chambre qu'è l'intérieur. Reste cependant un accueil et un lieu tout à fait correct. Très bien sans... more
