Pousada de Palmela - Palmela, Portugal
About this Chic Retreat
The biggest draw to Pousada de Palmela is its commanding hill-top location, from which the city of Palmela and the surrounding countryside can be viewed. Converted from the 500-year-old convent that sits inside the castle walls, this historical retreat makes for a memorable holiday. With the Costa Azul close by, and a wealth of interesting natural & historical sites to visit, the Pousada de Palmela is well-placed for discovering the Lisbon region.

Activities
There are family games to keep everyone entertained in the Pousada de Palmela, and although they do not have a swimming pool, there are wonderful beaches just a short drive away.

There is a golf course nearby, and to get great views of the region, take a hot air balloon ride.
