Pousada Castelo de Alcácer do Sal

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.

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.

I used already a few times the charging station of this beautiful hotel. But today I was refused and told that only hotel guests are allowed to use it. It is still very difficult in Portugal to find a fitting charging station for your electric car and it is a very unpolite and rude behaviour to disallow the usage. The hotel has two charging points and both were available.

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. ;-)

Very good place, I liked it, mixing the historical with the rustic is beautiful, excellent views at various points where you can take great photos. Very attentive staff

Very nice hotel and good restaurant

The Castelo itself offers everything you would expect from a Pousada. The rooms have seen better days..., the silicone joints in the bathroom were moldy - the entrance corridor was not bright and welcoming due to the dark brown build in wardrobe and the wainscoting of the same nature. The bedroom was good, The small terrace was nice, offering a great view towards the valley. The service in this Pousada in contrast to other Pousadas was reasonably good. I would not recommend the restaurant.
