Sleeping in a castle above the Arrábida
The Pousada Castelo Palmela occupies the former convent of the Order of Santiago, inside Palmela castle, on top of a hill between the Arrábida range and the Sado estuary. It is a Historic Hotel with 29 rooms. From Palmela you reach Setúbal in a few minutes and, from there, the Arrábida ridge road and the beaches.
Rooms and restaurant
The rooms are former cells, each decorated in its own way, with a TV and free wifi; there are classic rooms, family rooms and suites. The restaurant is in the old refectory of the warrior monks and serves local cooking. Breakfast is a buffet. Reception is open 24 hours.
Parking and getting around
There is free public parking inside the castle walls. At reception they will tell you about nearby activities, which are paid: wine tastings, boat trips on the Sado, kayaking and outings to see dolphins. One small dog per room is accepted, up to 15 kg, for €30 a night. In summer, remember that the beach road is closed to cars during the day: go down to Setúbal and take the bus.
