Casas Caiadas Open House

Casas Caiadas Open House is set across three floors, with the ground floor featuring two social areas (one large and one small) where you can relax. In addition to a sofa and dining table, these areas also feature a lot of local craft and ceramic pieces that were hand-picked for the space. A few stairs lead down to the kitchen where the bakery once was and we invested a lot in reviving it as part of the building’s history.

The first floor is home to a suite with a bathroom and a small living room (with a sofa bed for families), as well as three additional bedrooms. All are decorated with paintings by local artists and design pieces from across Portugal, and one room has a large terrace looking out across Arraiolos.

Above is a spectacular rooftop with a 3x4-metre swimming pool and several seating areas where you can enjoy the views.

We have a concierge service and can offer recommendations about what to see and do in the region, depending on our guests’ interests. Breakfast is included in the rate and dinners are possible on request with our private chef.

We recommend visiting Evora and the Saturday market in Estremoz where you can pick up organic vegetables and antiques — it feels like Alentejo in times gone by. There are also a lot of castles in the region and some unknown villages to visit, not to mention very good wineries just 10 minutes away.

And of course, there is the amazing Comporta Beach, a quiet beach with white sand and turquoise water, which is only a bit more than an hour away. Another perfect day trip is a visit to Lisbon, also approximately one hour away.

We also just started a new project in and around Arraiolos. Together with the e-bike brand brand Riese & Müller we offer 30 e-bikes parked near tourist destinations and restaurants all over the Arraiolos municipality. What we are building in Arraiolos is a pioneer experience from Portugal to the world, i.e.: to all people looking for places that preserve and respect their genuine character and that add elements of modernity such as mobility, design, culture or art. Arraiolos is an ideal place for new nomads looking for exactly this type of experience.
