About
Pousada Castelo Alcácer do Sal is a historic hotel nestled within the medieval walls of Alcácer do Sal, just an hour’s drive from Lisbon.

Guests can enjoy a range of leisure options: an outdoor swimming pool surrounded by gardens, free parking, electric‑vehicle chargers, a 24‑hour reception, and a variety of family‑friendly activities such as canoeing, fishing, hiking and horseback riding in the surrounding countryside. The hotel’s on‑site restaurant, Sala das Colunas, serves classic Portuguese dishes on a terrace with castle‑wall vistas, while the pool bar hosts light meals and drinks during the warmer months. Whether travelling for business, a quiet retreat, or a romantic getaway, Pousada Castelo Alcácer do Sal offers a unique blend of history, comfort and hospitality that leaves a lasting impression on every visitor.
