Spektakuläre, historische Anlage für einen angenehmen Aufenthalt
Pros:

Spektakuläre Lage mit grossartiger Aussicht in der Nähe von Setubal. Grosszügige Zimmer, gute Betten (Upgrade zur Suite). Gutes und reichhaltiges Frühstückbuffet. Sehr zuvorkommendes Personal.

Cons:

Gelegentlich ziemlich laute Geräusche aus einem Nebenraum, die nachts aber nicht aufgetreten sind. Prekäre Parkplatverhältnisse vor allem an den Wochenenden (Veranstaltungen).

Lieu assez magique mais gâché par l'organisation d'événements
Pros:

Très bruyant car deux événements organisés lors de notre séjour sans nous avoir avertis, et lieu de pause du personnel juste en dessous de notre fenêtre.
Dommage !!! car nous avions une suite immense dans un lieu tout à fait exceptionnel sur le plan architectural avec une vue grandiose sur la réserve naturelle et la mer

Cons:

Pros:

小高い丘にあるパルメラ城に併設された、静かで素朴な雰囲気の素敵なホテルでした。
なによりパルメラやセトゥバルを見下ろす絶景が楽しめるロケーションが最高です。

夕食は、近くのレストランが休みだったのでホテルのレストランを利用しました。
予約をしていませんでしたが受け入れていただけましたし、リーズナブルに美味しい食事を頂けてよかったです。

朝食も非常に充実していて美味しかったです。
チェックアウトを急いでいたのでゆっくりできなかったのが残念でした。

Cons:

Wi-Fiの接続が不安定でした。
バスで行きましたが、バス停からの登り坂は過酷です。

One night in Palmela.
Pros:

The facilities were excellent. The rooms are very spacious and comfortable. The staff were very helpful.

Cons:

The service at the restaurant was very slow, and the waiters took so long to serve the drinks that we had finished our meals by then. There were clearly not enough staff available to serve.
