We spent an overnight in this excellent Pousada on route to Estremoz and Villa Viçosa Pousadas.Great deals in the week. The restaurant needs some upgrading. Breakfast more than sufficient. I have been here twice beore and will certainly return thanks to the sfficiency and friendliness of Ana Martins at the front desk. The suite was very grand but still comfortable. Mant thanks Pousada de São Francisco de Beja. More

But not luxurious. The old convert is a gorgeous building but it could use a little TLC. The ground are lovely, the rooms large but need some refurbishing. Staff was pleasant. the breakfast was adequate, perhaps it was just picked over because we arroved only a fw minutes before it closed. Because the town was nearly closed dowfor a holiday we ate dinner at the hotel. It was superb. More

A former Franciscan Monastery with original features, this pousada provided welcoming, friendly helpful staff, a quiet relaxed atmosphere, comfort and good food. It is within easy walking distance of all the sites of interest in the small historic town. It is easy to reach by car and guest parking is provided within the grounds which also have a large swimming pool and sun loungers. it was recently ( April 2012) reopened after being refurbished to...

Ideally situated near the centre of town this old convent is a delight to stay in. Our room was more than adequate and very quiet. The sitting areas, bar, games room (with full size billiard table) and garden area are lovely. However, I do agree that the place was under staffed - we sat in the bar for at least 10 minutes and then had to go and find someone to serve us. If you... More

A wonderful old convent building, conveniently situated in the heart of an historic town, but in dire need of some Government cash being spent on buildings and staff. Furnishings are clean and cared for, except deteriorating poolside loungers. Poorly resourced in staffing at reception, bar and restaurant - food adequate, but overpriced evening meals resulted in eating out in local town establishments which were far better value. Bedrooms as small as expected in a convent,... More

Very pleasant and the staff very very nice! Good food. Great breakfast! More

The hotel has everything one could ask for in a small rustic town. It has nicely appointed rooms, a gorgeous courtyard, amazing pool area, total peace but for some strange reason it was grossly understaffed. In one instance, to get a beer at the pool, I had to call up the receptionist, who took several minutes to make it to the pool bar before he could offer me his service. A tad disappointing considering my... More

We stayed using the 3rd night voucher of our 5nt Golden Age Passport [GAP](which we strongly recommend as it brings the Over 55's dble, inc b/fast, rate down to 80€, slightly more if under). Central, converted convent with some marvelous architectural features (Bell Tower, quadrangle, and a stunning, cavenous ballroom [I know nuns don't have balls, but.....!]) The 'cells' have been modenised to an acceptable (given the structural limitations) Pousada standard. Reception staff helpful, well... More

We only stayed here one night, but the room was lovely, the bathroom quite large and well furnished, the food was great, and very plentiful, and the building really well restored. Wish we could have stayed longer. We had the Golden Age rate, and it was well worth the cost. There was a comfortable atmosphere. Avoid the American coffee, and tea! Beja is an interesting White City. The castle is free. More
