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 reconquered … 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.

“Amazing”
High on a hill with 360° views. We were lucky enough to have a double aspect room with fabulous views. There were shutters to block out light and in high summer, heat. Our room was well appointed and even had a kettle. We slept extremely well as it was so quiet. The castle is next door and gets … more

“Highlight of Our Trip”
Beautiful hotel with historic ruins, incredible views, and modern amenities. Large rooms. Service was the highlight of our trip. From the moment we arrived late at night due to circumstances beyond our control, to the Bobo restaurant and the beautiful artisan jewelry and café, the people at this… more

“Lovely Pousada”
Lovely Pousada on top of a hill with beautiful views. Helpful staff and good food. One night is probably enough to eat in. Setúbal has many good restaurants as an alternative.

“Perfect location and splendid view over the area - all the way to Lisbon”
A former convent is now the pousada here in Palmela. It lies next to the old castle. Free parking at the hotel. Friendly and informative reception. Rooms are quite big, and very big beds - but too hard for us (and most others I guess). A very quiet place and you wake up to a very nice buffet style… more

Key features of the moderation of reviews
There is an automatic system that detects offensive language, in which case the review will not be published. If an owner reports one of the reviews, the review will be re-evaluated and, if it fails to comply with our content standards, it will be taken down.
Our criteria for collecting guest reviews
After getting home from the trip booked with us, the customer will receive an email asking them to review different aspects of each of the services booked. The system only allows the booking holder to complete this review and only once.
When will my review appear on the website?
Reviews typically take less than 24 hours to appear on our website. The process may take longer if our team of moderators have to examine the review in more detail.
How long will my review stay on the website?
Once it has been published, your review will automatically appear in the summary of reviews and if it is considered a featured review (based on publication date, length and quality of content), the complete review will also appear. Said review will not appear or will disappear from the system if it contains offensive language or if it is reported.
Can I get a reward for my opinion?
No. Reviews written in exchange for personal rewards such as gifts, services, or money will be taken down.
Can a review be edited?
No, once a review has been written, it cannot be edited. If you want it taking down, you can ask to have it deleted and not republished again.
Will my review appear on other websites or publications?
Once published, all or some of the reviews written by our members may be used on some of our partner sites or in promotional material in general.
If I write a review about a service, can the provider contact me about it?
No, as the personal data of the booking holder writing the review will not be shared with any service providers being reviewed. In the featured reviews shown, only the booking holder's first name will appear, meaning that there's no way that the service provider can contact you.
