Nestled in the Alentejo region of south Portugal

Open House is a Boutique Guesthouse that skillfully combines discreet and overwhelming design with the authenticity of a territory. In the pedestrian heart of a green landscape village, this architectural rescue is meant to revive the cultural heritage of Arraiolos.

The Building

A building with many lives.

The historic building has had many rebirths. Originally a shelter in the 19th century was then followed by a famous bakery. Today, Open House gloriously fuses a discreet and minimal design with the authenticity of the local architectural heritage.

1 FAMILIAR SUITE + 3 LARGE BEDROOMS

Modulated in the absolute white, the 451 m² building has been exquisitely revived with a contemporary flair and an air of luxurious comfort, all while respecting its character.

In the ground floor, one finds the social areas, an invite to relaxation and conviviality: a large sofa and table and a few studied furnishings, combine local craftsmanship and contemporary pieces with essential design

A tribute to the old bakery can be found in the kicthen.

Truly aligned with the modern design of the Guesthouse, the fittings are hallmarked by elegant sobriety of iconic wood countertops combined with design advanced technology.
