Description
Very little is known about Palmela before Dom Afonso Henriques' conquest of Lisbon, when the Moors surrendered and gave the land over to the Christians. The main landmark of the municipality is its Castle. Built in a prime location, it is key to the area between the Sado and Tejo river basins, one of the points on Lisbon's defence triangle on the south side. The castle, conquered and reconquere... more
The Pousada Castelo de Palmela is located in the historic centre of the city of Palmela, 42 km from Lisbon. Sitting 230 metres above sea level, it has fantastic views of the Serra da Arrábida, over the Atlantic ocean and over the lowlands and vineyards of the region. The Pousada includes cloisters from the old convent constructed in the castle.
Activities available around the Pousada do Castelo de Palmela include Sado river excursions, pedestrian or bicycle trips, canoeing and watching the dolphins in the Sado river. Ask for help at our 24-hour reception. Discover and enjoy local cuisine in the old monk-warriors' mess hall, now the Pousada's restaurant.

“Extremely cool!”
This is a beautiful hotel in a stunning location. The bed was extremely comfortable and we appreciated the heavy blanket on an unusually windy night. The high ceilings and traditional furniture are striking. We would have appreciated being able to make tea and coffee in the room, especially as b... more

“Lack of staff”
Pousadas are Portuguese state owned but Pestana run hotels that succeed in offering good quality accommodation at affordable prices. But sometime the add-ons don’t quite add up…for instance, they had not yet staffed up for the season and the food offering from the kitchen was not up to the same ... more

“Fantastic location and excellent starting point for hiking in the Arrábida.”
Food and facilities up to the usual high pousada standard. We particularly appreciated the dog-friendly attitude of the very friendly and helpful staff.

“Deader than a dodo bird”
Awesome historic Pousada, that has obviously undergone some quality renovations. Stunning views. Let down by being understaffed with low customer service. This may be because when we stayed there were only a couple of guests. We spent the evening in the bar without a bar tender who was too busy ... more

The staff while friendly did not appear to be “ with in “ - for example , they invited us in for a complimentary welcome drink an... more
