Hotel Casa Palmela

We love this place. We always come here to eat or have wine, but this time we stayed, and the experience was spectacular. The hotel is beautiful, the facilities even more so. Delicious food and wine. There are paths all around where you can walk in nature. It has a Spa and Stunning vineyard views. The service is incredible, everything is top-notch. In summer, it’s even more beautiful.

Beautiful hotel. Stayed for 2 nights for a wedding. Very close to the beach. Amazing, tranquil surroundings . Food was great, staff were lovely. Beds are a little hard but still comfortable enough. Would recommend renting a car if your tourist and want to explore. Nothing is in walking distance.

We stayed for three nights while traveling along the southern coast. Check-in/out was good. Our accommodations were fine and the property is wonderful. The views amazing and the staff great. We had dinner on property which was very well prepared and breakfast each morning was wonderful with a variety of options. Take time to explore the property, vineyards and backdrop of the Arrabida Mountains. We took the ferry to Troia and Comporta on a day trip which was nice, but during the off peak season so not much activity. The property has an inn-like vibe with updated amenities. Enjoyable stay.

Wife and I had our wedding here this past weekend and wow! Had the best time of our lives. What a magical place. Lost for words. The staff is so kind and caring. The hotel is stunning, food is amazing. Turn down service is amazing. What a gem!

Because of our long stay in this amazing country, we decided to explore the different types of hotel/ geographic experiences and The Hotel Casa Palmela did not disappoint. Nestled in the mountains outside of Setubal it is a gorgeous historical estate, converted to hotel. The views are spectacular and food and staff service are excellent! John, the restaurant and dining room mgr, was very knowledgeable and helpful as was the entire team. Suggest booking a larger room without the balcony if you want more space. There are two separate areas/ pools for families and those traveling without children. Ask for a tour of the estate— so much history! There is no fitness Ctr, but plenty of exercise option with bikes, horses and long hikes! This was a unique and wonderful experience!

The hotel and surrounding area were just beautiful. The hotel was an oasis of calm with beautiful decor and so comfortable. We loved our stay and the staff were so attentive and friendly, happy to help with any query we had. Our room was with a veranda with exquisite views, comfortable clean with all we needed, lovely to arrive back to after a hot day at the beach. The pools were lovely to cool off in too. The food was exceptional, the breakfast had a wide variety and of high quality. Sitting out on the terrace for evening meals was special with the sunsetting, the prices were little higher than expected but the quality of food and service was excellent. This was the most relaxing stay and most beautiful hotel I have stayed in. Would highly recommend and would love to revisit one day.

Casa Palmela is set in a truly beautiful location – surrounded by vineyards with stunning views and sunsets that feel very special. Unfortunately, the hotel itself does not live up to the promise of its surroundings, nor to its billing as part of the Small Luxury Hotels of the World.||The rooms and facilities feel dated, with details that don’t match the luxury positioning. The shower only ever ran lukewarm at best, and the swimming pool seemed tired and in need of renovation. The so-called spa looked more like an abandoned trailer left in a back lot of the vineyard than a luxury wellness facility.||The restaurant was another major disappointment. The menu is overpriced, the food did not feel fresh, and there was no sense of cooking mastery. Breakfast was equally underwhelming, with very limited options and even eggs charged as an extra.||Overall, despite the beautiful natural setting, the hotel falls far short of expectations and offers no real value for money. A luxury label requires more than just a good location – Casa Palmela, sadly, does not deliver.

Mixed feelings. The location was wonderful if you need to stay near Lisbon but not in the center - outside Setúbal and close to Lisbon. And all the staff were friendly and professional. We had a villa which appeared luxurious in photos but was somewhat average - one side faced other rooms so we needed to keep curtain closed and one side faced rear of the resort. And we had no hot water the morning of check out. We are ate at the restaurant and while the setting was magnificent with service to match the meal itself was our least favorite in all of Portugal - and quite expensive so we were left disappointed (desert was good though).
