Pousada Nossa Senhora da Assunção - Arraiolos

Pousada Nossa Senhora da Assunção - Arraiolos

The starting point for the Pousada was the restoration of a sixteenth century convent, situated in a valley in Arraiolos - a city that is world-famous for its carpets. The Pousada is an example of the achievement of perfect harmony between the traditional and contemporary concepts of Portuguese architecture and a felicitous example of adapting the austerity of a convent to today's standards of comfort. A stay with us is a wonderful excuse to get to know the traditional art of carpet-making.
