Pousada Castelo De Alcácer Do Sal – Historic Hotel
The Pousada Castelo de Alcácer do Sal is set inside the medieval castle that crowns the town — the Pousada D. Afonso II, one of the historic pousadas of Portugal, installed in the former convent within the castle walls.
The pousada sits on the hilltop, with views over the calm waters of the river Sado and the surrounding plain. It keeps the character of its historic setting, with rooms decorated in warm tones, a restaurant and bar, and an outdoor swimming pool set among gardens. On its lower floor lies the archaeological crypt, a museum of the town’s long past.
A stay here places guests within a National Monument, a short walk from the churches of the old town and the riverside, and only about an hour from Lisbon. It is a distinctive base for exploring Alcácer do Sal, the Sado estuary and the nearby Alentejo coast.
