Pousada Castelo de Alcácer do Sal

This Pousada sits in a very beautiful and historic location. Don't miss seeing the historical museum just down below the lobby, it's definitely worth a visit, and the chapel next door is also a very interesting museum. Actually the whole town of Alcácer was quite an interesting and friendly place. This is very well run hotel, all the way from the front desk to the restaurant. Carla at the desk was charming and very helpful, as was all the front desk staff. And Afonso did a great job in the restaurant the night we ate there, in spite of being the only waiter for the whole room. We had a very comfortable stay, and an excellent meal. And breakfast, well it was about as good as it gets! We wanted for nada! These folks understand hospitality. Muito obrigado por tudo!

The hotel was amazing. Our AC did not work but it was fine as it was not hot that day. Otherwise it felt like straight out of a fairytale. Also the breakfast was amazing, especially the dried ham.

I went there on a weekend with my wife, to relax and get away from the noise ... The hotel is a beautiful and historic place overlooking the river and the surrounding area. The restaurant is also good and the service at the hotel in general is great. Don't expect the latest state-of-the-art room equipment though.

The hotel was great. The room, the staff, the breakfast and restaurant for dinner, location and especially the history of the hotel. The museum is free for guests, which is a must-see. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

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 wait to return!

Views are stunning. Hotel itself is very dated and rather tatty. Needs refurbishment. Staff were lovely but breakfast was a massive fail - food products were inferior, given the prices, and the grounds are in need of better care - cigarette butts litter the gravel and the plants are in need of love. On the plus side dogs are allowed although they charged us a 60 euros for our two boys ( one small and one medium). That said, they did give the boys a lovely furry friends treat box. So on the whole, lovely stay but over priced for the condition and quality of food.

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 discover. ;-)

Historic pousada, well situated. It's a 10 minute walk from the rivierbank, where thé shops and restaurants are. Very friendly and helpful staff. Nice pool. Big and clean rooms. The building is impresive.

An incredible experience in an old castle with a small crypt museum for a quick walk through history. We stayed at the pousada for a wedding and it was one of the coolest hotels you will ever find. A quick walk to some great brunch spots in the streets below the hotel, this location is also great. The rooms were a terrific and comfortable stay. The pool is so comfy - there's a shallow wading pool perfect for kids too!
