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.

Reception staff was pleasant and friendly. we appreciated the bottle of wine as a welcome gift. Food served at dinner was below par... a too full plate of not very warm "Caramella" soup, (not our favourite), a full plate of tasteless black linguine with few shrimps, scallops and peppers. Service was below par. We had a bottle of rose, our glasses were never refilled, but those of other guests were. The male staff member was not overly friendly (to us...) The large room was excellent with beautiful view of the surrounding areas.

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!

Beautiful historic hotel
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.

Beautiful but in need of updating and bad food
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!
