Utmärkt vistelse och en trevlig liten stad med historien närvarande
Pros:

Utsikten och Borgen var otrolig. Pamela var trevlig att promenera i. Palmela hade en mycket prisvärd och smaklig resturang Dom Rodrigo rekommenderas starkt att besöka. Vin museet var också bra med bra vinprovning och lokalt tillverkad glass med flera lokalt producerade produkter.

Cons:

De kokta äggen på frukost var inte fräscha. Morgon rocken på rummet var för liten.

Five star comfort in amazing surroundings
Pros:

Amazing location, beautiful building. It felt like a five star hotel, our room was so beautiful and comfortable. It has a bar, a restaurant and is simply a great place to hang out, relax and explore the area. Amazing breakfast!

Cons:

Seemed a bit short staffed at night. Bar was open but not staffed. Or you had to walk around to find someone. The only drawback.

A fabulous stay.
Pros:

The pousada is built around the old monastery cloister in an impressive castle upon a hill overlooking the town. The staff are friendly, English speaking, and most accommodating. The food in the restaurant was excellent and the bedroom and bathroom extensive. A superb and historic place to stay.

Cons:

It was impossible to connect my hdmi lead to the TV to watch a film from laptop.

Nada agradável
Pros:

A simpatia dos empregados

Cons:

Jantar e p.almoço num corredor
O hotel está muito vazio de móveis e decoração, parece que está desabitado.
Não era esta a recordação que tinha da última vez que visitei esta pousada.

Estadia excelente num local fantástico para restaurar as nossas energias e seguirmos viagem!
Pros:

Adorei tudo, paisagem, história, conforto, privacidade, pequeno almoço, hospitalidade e muito mais foram algumas das experiências que regozijamos nesta nossa passagem por Palmela. Local para regressarmos brevemente, noutra estação do ano.

Cons:

Gostamos simplesmente de tudo e da simpatia de quem nos recebeu.

Historisch genieten
Pros:

De locatie was top, er komen in het donker en stromende regen was best een uitdaging. Maar het welkom door de receptie deed alle stress van de trip vergeten. Thuiskomen! In dit prachtig gelegen klooster bovenop de berg bij Palmela hebben we goed gegeten, en ook ontbeten in de voormalige kloosteromgang.

Cons:

Pech dat we door de regen en storm niet op de binnenplaats konden zitten. De verwarming regelen was wat lastig, waardoor het te warm was in de kamer.

Wonderful property with fantastic views and character. Highly recommend.
Pros:

Afonso was very attentive, friendly and brilliant at his work. Our dinner and breakfast were very good. The castle is beautiful and we loved being able to explore the castle in the morning.

Cons:

1 of our rooms had an issue with the toilet but it was a minor inconvienence. The staff offered assistance and had a repair ordered immediately.

Um lugar encantador cheio de história.
Pros:

O conforto num dia frio de inverno, a localização e o lugar cheio de charme.

Cons:

Alguns elementos da decoração… (cortinados não estão em harmonia com o restante) e a água quente no banho tem ligeiras quebras e posteriormente há picos de temperatura alta.
