Arraiolos é encantador. Com a muralha a espreitar as casas típicas desta zona do Alentejo, tem a Casa do Castelo como vizinha. A habitação disponibiliza quatro quartos com mais de uma tipificação, e assim pode atender aos vários grupos de hóspedes, amavelmente acolhidos pela Generosa, a proprietária do espaço. A cozinha é partilhada e tem um terraço para observar as estrelas que preenchem nas noites de Verão.

A Casa do Castelo é daquelas casas onde nos sentimos em casa, estar de férias, de fim de semana, ou a trabalho e poder ir ao "quintal" como na casa da avó, apreciar os sons da natureza e o cheirinho das flores com uma bebida fresca, ou até fazer uma refeição no alpendre. Tem pessoas afáveis e sempre prestáveis á distância de uma chamada. Tem uma elegância muito característica, higiene 5 *****, e miminhos num cestinho no quarto. Relação qualidade/ preço? Arrisco a dizer que podiam cobrar mais um pouco e não era descabido! Voltarei sempre que for para aqueles lados com certeza! Obrigada!
