Come find a moment of living history situated between the impressive Sado estuary and the magical and majestic Mountain of Arrábida.Sleep in a place whose initial occupation dates back to 300 years before Christ and feel like a real knight in the ancient castle, fortified by the Moors between the eighth and ninth centuries.With all the comforts of the twenty-first century, come to know this most serene witness of the history of Portugal.
You don't need a PhD in History to want a stay of a few days at this Pestana Inn Historic Hotel.Climb the village, cross the three lines of castle walls and get ready to dive into a space where time itself struggles to situate itself.The castle, conquered and reconquered in epic and daring battles led by the first Portuguese king, involves all of the inn's structure, the former convent of the order of Santiago.
Sleep in the old cells, imagine their footsteps echoing along the wide corridors accompanied by songs, stay in the rooms and imagine the long battles that were fought in the fields surrounding you.
Even without this engaging story, your stay at the Inn of Palmela will always be a unique experience: situated at 230 meters above sea level, the view over the natural park of the Mountain of Arrábida and the Sado river is particularly remarkable on days with clear skies and an inviting sun.
