Pousada Castelo de Alcácer do Sal — Hotel in Alcácer do Sal

We loved the idea of staying at this castle/convent and cycled in from quite a distance away . The welcome was excellent and efficient . This hotel is really rather special but not as you might think. Its not a spa or super modern but It's atmosphere , history and elegance all take a while to permeate and then it suddenly occurs to you that you are relaxed , tranquil and enjoying the peace that this place has at its heart . It's a very special place and on a day off we hung around the pool and strolled a little way down the hill for coffee and snacks . The staff work hard to make it pleasant and the surrounds are very nice with details and history in every corner. Thanks especially to Carla on reception for her attention to details on our behalf . The kitchen and dining hall staff work very long hours and we ate both breakfast and dinner in the restaurant . Breakfast was terrific and dinner elegantly executed by Alfonso Luis front of house and the chef. Delicious food served in a discrete and classy way . I keep thinking about staying there again , it really touched me .

Disliked · I wasn't expecting a paid for minibar for things like water and the bar wasn't open while we were there . Luckily there are some nice cafes and restaurants nearby without having to go all the way down into town . So not...

A Perfect Stay at the Pousada em Alcácer do Sal

Our stay at the Pousada was simply perfect from start to finish and we were a family group of 10. Everything exceeded our expectations: the rooms were spacious, beautifully designed, and incredibly comfortable. The atmosphere throughout the property strikes a perfect balance between historical charm and modern comfort.

The pool area was a true highlight: serene, well-maintained, and ideal for relaxing under the Alentejo sun. The food was also outstanding, with a great variety and high-quality ingredients that showcased the region’s flavors beautifully.

Above all, the staff were warm, professional, and attentive, making us feel welcome and cared for at every moment. It’s rare to find a place where everything comes together so harmoniously, but this is it.

Highly recommended for anyone looking for a peaceful, authentic, and luxurious experience in Alcácer do Sal. We can't...

Those who have seen my reviews, know that I can be somewhat critical at times. However, this Pousada would deserve 6 stars if we could give them.

We went here as a couple and were pleasantly surprised by the vastness of the castelo, the design of the interior, the friendliness of the staff, the space of the room and last-but not least the quality of the breakfast. Mid December the hotel was virtually empty which left us all the time to enjoy the atmosphere it has on offer. And that is a lot. Sitting by the fireplace in the evening, after playing some snooker, enjoying the spirits of the honesty bar; what more to wish for? Well a good sleep; the generously sized beds with high quality mattress are made for this.

What helped were the last minute off-season offers which added to the experience.

Is there nothing to whine? Yes, the outdoor pool was ice cold and the indoor one with sauna, we did not...
