Faultless stay — we’ll definitely be back! I honestly couldn't find a single thing to complain about; everything about our stay was absolutely perfect. The property itself is excellent and exceptionally well maintained. Our room was wonderfully spacious and bright, but the real highlight was the incredible views—both right from our window and looking out toward the nearby castle. We had an amazing experience and will definitely be coming back again in the future!

Fantastic historic hotel right next to the Palmela castle. The rooms are big and we had a 2nd floor corner room which meant we had double the panoramic views. Breakfast was great with a huge choice of meats / cheeses / pastries / fruit / eggs etc and staff were very attentive. The only down point was the cost of the bar - €3.50 for a very small glass of beer was outrageous - no wonder there were no people in there! The pricing of everything else was as you would expect for a nice hotel, so the bar pricing was unexpected. The hotel is only 40-45 minutes for Lisbon airport, so this makes a great stop either at the start or end of your visit to Portugal and I'm sure we'll be back.

A pousada é linda, a vista também e a cidade de Palmela é um charme. O quarto é muito espaçoso, super confortável, com banheiro moderno. Era o aniversário do meu filho e deixaram uma cortesia para ele e para os pais. Não lembro de ter ficado em um quarto tão charmoso, com janelas com vista para o Castelo. Foi toda uma experiencia e minha família adorou.

Overall, this is a magical place. The setting of the hotel exceeded expectations. It's perched at the top of a huge hill with views of the countryside in every direction. Be aware that you'll be driving basically straight uphill at one point! You can explore the entire castle complex next-door free of charge, which I definitely recommend! Arriving later in the day to stormy weather, we didn't get to take advantage of the hotel's beautiful terrace. But we enjoyed exploring the spooky hallways and also had a great dinner in the restaurant. Unfortunately, there were a couple of issues with our room. First, the A/C did not appear to be working, we had it set to the lowest setting and the room was still very warm, which made for not the best night's sleep. Second, the temperature control for the main rainfall shower head was apparently broken, nothing we did could get the temperature down from scalding hot. Luckily the temperature control for the handheld hose was working, so we were able to use that. The room was lovely otherwise, the bathroom was beautiful and the windows opened right out to a view of the castle. If we'd been able to stay another night, I would have raised these issues to the management, but we just had the one night and an early checkout, so I didn't get a chance to bring it up. The staff were lovely and I'm sure they would have tried to help. I honestly wish we could have stayed longer!
The bedroom. Lovely but it's a bit tight between the bed and the dresser.
