Centuries ago, Palmela was once a mighty fortress. Today the area is a small but vibrant city located just south of Lisbon near Setubal. During your visit to Palmela, take time to enjoy views of the Atlantic Ocean and surrounding countryside from the vantage point of the Castelo do Palmela. When you stay in a Pousada in Palmela or in the surrounding countryside, you will be treated to a unique lodging experience with a stay in a historic castle, manor, or other such building while also being pampered with luxurious amenities.
