The Pousada de Beja is located in the old Convent of São Francisco in the city of Beja, in Alentejo. Located in the city centre just 700 metres from the castle and 200 metres from the Rainha D. Leonor museum. The Pousada is the result of a majestic, architectural project that is representative of Portugal's religious and gothic architecture.
During your stay you can relax in our SPA which offers a treatment and massage room, and is also equipped with a Turkish Bath and Sauna. Go for a peaceful walk through the fantastic gardens, take a dip in the outdoor swimming pool, perfect your strokes on the tennis court or play games in the bar , which has a snooker table and other table games.

In the old central nave of the Pousada, guests can, from time to time, visit contemporary art exhibitions. Enjoy and take a stroll through the wide corridors connecting the monks' old cells with an inviting view of the pool and the fantastic gardens. During the summer, come and swim in the fantastic pool and stroll through the gardens.

“Luxury and relaxation in a historic building.”
This is one of the best Pousadas we have stayed at. It is magnificent and very spacious, having a small number of bedrooms but huge spacious areas. Well done Pestana on not ruining the magnificence of the building while creating an exceptionally comfortable, indeed luxurious, hotel. The bedrooms a… more

“A nice area around the garden pool”
A very fine pousada in an old convent - so there is very much space everywhere - including big rooms and bathrooms. Reception was helpful. Breakfast buffet fine - an even possible to sit outdoors for breakfast. Big beds, no noise, beds are a bit hard. No noise at night.

“A good place for a weekend.”
A welcoming staff, a very nice hotel situated in the heart of the city, near walking distance from local attractions. Very clean environment; a nice breakfast offer. Room was a bit on the small side; price a bit on the high side. A very good place for a night or weekend.

Key features of the moderation of reviews
There is an automatic system that detects offensive language, in which case the review will not be published. If an owner reports one of the reviews, the review will be re-evaluated and, if it fails to comply with our content standards, it will be taken down.
Our criteria for collecting guest reviews
After getting home from the trip booked with us, the customer will receive an email asking them to review different aspects of each of the services booked. The system only allows the booking holder to complete this review and only once.
When will my review appear on the website?
Reviews typically take less than 24 hours to appear on our website. The process may take longer if our team of moderators have to examine the review in more detail.
How long will my review stay on the website?
Once it has been published, your review will automatically appear in the summary of reviews and if it is considered a featured review (based on publication date, length and quality of content), the complete review will also appear. Said review will not appear or will disappear from the system if it contains offensive language or if it is reported.
Can I get a reward for my opinion?
No. Reviews written in exchange for personal rewards such as gifts, services, or money will be taken down.
Can a review be edited?
No, once a review has been written, it cannot be edited. If you want it taking down, you can ask to have it deleted and not republished again.
Will my review appear on other websites or publications?
Once published, all or some of the reviews written by our members may be used on some of our partner sites or in promotional material in general.
If I write a review about a service, can the provider contact me about it?
No, as the personal data of the booking holder writing the review will not be shared with any service providers being reviewed. In the featured reviews shown, only the booking holder's first name will appear, meaning that there's no way that the service provider can contact you.
