Faultless stay — we’ll definitely be back! I honestly couldn't find a single thing to complain about; everything about our stay was absolutely perfect. The property itself is excellent and exceptionally well maintained. Our room was wonderfully spacious and bright, but the real highlight was the incredible views—both right from our window and looking out toward the nearby castle. We had an amazing experience and will definitely be coming back again in the future!

Service was good but uneven. There are moments when they were extremely helpful, and moments when they didn’t seem to want to be bothered. Still an amazing experience overall. Can’t beat the setting or location.

It’s a real treat staying here. What a fun place to stay, a hotel that is part of a 15th C castle. The facilities are great. The tavern on the property had excellent food. The rooms are spacious and very nice.

Incredibly helpful people at front desk. Nice breakfast, clean room, but the front doors are hard to open/close and flummox everyone who comes comes through them. Closed back on me and nearly hit me in the face.

This hotel was incredible. Great property to walk around but what really made it stand out was the staff. The host that greeted us (Ana Maia) was incredible. Went way above and beyond to help us print boarding passes. She was so friendly, helpful and did everything she could to make sure our stay was felt special.

A truly enjoyable experience. Great staff, breakfast, suites and overall hotel are a historic piece of heaven! You won't want to leave. There is enough to relax, explore and enjoy in the castle grounds/hotel. I worked while the family checked everything out. It was unforgettable!

Palmela is a small, charming town with not much to do so our two night stay was just the perfect amount of time to be there. Staying in a historic castle is a one of a kind experience. Our room was luxurious, the whole place is elegant and the view from the property is amazing. It takes you back in time. The staff was very friendly and the breakfast was delicious!
