Pousada Castelo de Alcacer do Sal

Pousada Group have outstanding hotels, but there is always a room for improvement

Room and bathroom were HUGE....Real castle size! Comfortable bed and nice views from the tallest spot in town. We chose this stay, to be near Comporta beaches, and the 20 minutes ride back and forth were worthwhile. Good, clean room and breakfast included for a very fair price!

Amazing setting and ambiance, an ancient convent inside a castle on top of the hill, beautiful views across the Rio Sado and the ricefields. The hotel is tastefully decorated, evocative of its medieval history and features several inviting nooks to relax with a book or enjoy a drink. Great quality buffet breakfast. Pool not in use.

Excellent location. The luggage trolley was broken (like much of this under invested hotel) but the staff couldn't have been more helpful going out of their way to help with a considerable luggage. We were in a heat wave and couldn't leave cases of wine in the car. Dinner was superb with the delightful Zak, the maitre d, recommending a pork dish with prawns. This was the nicest piece of pork I've ever experienced having been marinaded for some time and cooked in an exquisite sauce. The bed was comfortable and there was a nice wide bath. Excellent breakfast.

Ambiance of the hotel built within the castle, using some of the original castle walls. The staff on site was exemplary. The beds were great. Loved the fireplace fire at night, with a cold drink. Das gut.
