The castle next door was terrific! (This is our 4th stay with the Pestana Group.) Breakfast was mediocre…overripe/underripe fruit etc. Terrible smell/toilet noises on 3rd night. Main room heater/fan was inoperable. Shower
head didn’t work even though we asked for assistance.
Nice size room. Clean, shower glass door gasket coming apart.

A truly enjoyable experience. Great staff, breakfast, suites and overall hotel are a historic piece of heaven! You won't want to leave. There is enough to relax, explore and enjoy in the castle grounds/hotel. I worked while the family checked everything out. It was unforgettable!

We had amazing time at this place!

Stuff extremely helpful (thank you Anna!), and the rooms wonderful.

We had a very pleasant stay at this Pousada. The room was well appointed and the bed was the most comfortable I’ve ever slept on.
The breakfast was also superb.
The staff were all extremely helpful and knowledgeable. You can also walk around the ruins and fortifications next to the hotel. It is a very beautiful setting.
The only very minor negative was the shower fitting in the bathroom that is supposed to hold the shower head.
It was very loose meaning when you showered you had to hold the shower head in your hand rather than leave it in the wall holder otherwise the water pressure would cause it to wobble around which sprayed water all around the bathroom rather than onto the person showering.

The positives are this is a beautiful, historic building with great views and large rooms, the negatives are the service, especially in the restaurant, the food (the worst dinner we’ve had in Portugal, the fish was so overcook and had no sauce), the communal facilities (there’s a stunning courtyard, but it’s not used and it has 4 half dead orange trees and fake wisteria flowers, nothing else to make it nice) and the large bedrooms, which, although large and nice, need updating, especially the ugly bathrooms.

Palmela is a small, charming town with not much to do so our two night stay was just the perfect amount of time to be there.
Staying in a historic castle is a one of a kind experience. Our room was luxurious, the whole place is elegant and the view from the property is amazing. It takes you back in time. The staff was very friendly and the breakfast was delicious!

This hotel was incredible. Great property to walk around but what really made it stand out was the staff. The host that greeted us (Ana Maia) was incredible. Went way above and beyond to help us print boarding passes. She was so friendly, helpful and did everything she could to make sure our stay was felt special.

Spent just the one night here at this amazing old convent in a castle. Perfect distance to Lisbon for airport access next day after our time on the algarve. Rooms modern and tastefully decorated. Food of high quality and extensive menu options. Perfect change up for our last night in Portugal. Would recommend.

Naturally beautiful castle retreat for when you need to recharge. Excellent hospitality with helpful staff attentive to your every need. Abundant and varied breakfast. We would readily return. Not for travelers seeking nightlife.

A fun place to stay. We were only there one night and I really wish it had been more. I love staying in Pousadas and this one was as nice as any we had stayed in before.

First off the staff is amazing, helpful and attentive. The grounds and the hotel are awe inspiring, and the views are something to be experienced.

Room and areas of the hotel were chilly but it is their winter. It was very quiet. You could not tell there was other guests in the next room. Food was abundant and fantastic. Staff was very friendly and helpful. I would highly recommend.

This was probably the highlight of our trip to Portugal. It was wonderful staying in the old monastery and touring through the castle. If you are not traveling by car it can be a bit of an adventure getting to the Pousada. We took the train from Campolide on Feftsgus. The fair was 4.65E. When you get off though your are not close to the Pousada. It would be better to take a bus from Lisbon (Orient). It is 4.50E. Takes about 15 minutes longer, but you are much closer to the castle. You can walk (it is steep) or grab a cab for about 3.50E.

We had a really great stay at this hotel. For kids it was magical to be next to a castle. The views were incredible. The breakfast was delicious. Our shower wasn’t working when we arrived and it got fixed the next day while we were out. That impressed us too. Dinner options were limited for kids but we made the best of it. Only downside was that the beds were really hard and the coffee was bad at breakfast (also there was no in room coffee available).

Our stay at the Pousada de Palmela was fabulous, however getting there was tricky!!! We would not recommend using the GPS when trying to reach the property, the roads in town are extremely narrow and hard to navigate. The staff was very friendly and the service was wonderful. Our one regret was having to leave the day before the Medical Festival!!!
