We stayed at Hotel Casa Palmela and couldn't have been happier with the staff and our treatment while we were guests. Staff was friendly and could not have been more accommodating! We are eager to return in June for my daughter's wedding!

We planned a one-night stay on our way from Sintra to The Algarve to experience the Arrabida Natural Park and its beautiful beaches. The property and surrounding area was beautiful. We so enjoyed walking through the vineyards and nature trails. Staff was attentive and helpful. Food and wine was delicious, including a great breakfast buffet. Would definitely recommend!

I found this hotel / villa with VIP Access searching through Expedia’s website. It is a hidden gem for those looking for a serene and beautiful environment (with views of vineyards and expansive landscapes). There are bed & breakfast type rooms in the main house, or multi-bedroom villas near the main house. We had a spacious 3 bedroom “house” (Moscatel) with its own courtyard, and a spacious living & dining area on the first floor, and a full European-size refrigerator and kitchen. The hotel is easy to find with Google Map even though it is located within the Parque Natural da Arrabida; it is easy access to Setubal town (a 10 minute drive), grocery stores, beaches, and beautiful scenery. You experience the true Portugal being in a place like this.
I realized upon arrival this hotel is part of the Small Luxury Hotel collection and it is truly reflected in the ambience and services. The staff were all wonderful, being very attentive to all our needs. Jose & Joao welcomed us upon arrival, and helped us settled immediately around noon (even though official check-in was not until much later).
The Zimbral restaurant onsite has a nice diverse menu selection for dinner, and prices are reasonable for its quality and ambience.
There is a walking /biking path on the property; the hotel has only 2 bikes for rent (so reservation is encouraged). You can email the hotel through Expedia messaging; the staff is very responsive and helpful. I highly recommend a stay here.

Very nice and helpful staff
We were first given a room which was nice but with a lot of humidity which wasn't ideal with a baby. The staff was very nice and helpful and managed to move us to another room the second day.
Otherwise the hotel and surroundings are really beautiful.

A bit of a toursit trap
Lovely property - staff expects tips and give major attitude every time you don't tip - it appeared that there was no management onsite - poor service - asked for towels twice - they never came - told in the dining room that bottled wine was unavailable - had to buy by the glass - loved the hotel but staff, other than friendly cleaning lady, were suspect.

Not 5* 3* at best. rock hard beds
Terrible check in, room was dirty and tired, mildew and mould everywhere in grout, fridge was so noisy it sounded like a jack hammer.
We stayed in a Villa at £595 a night.
The beds were so hard it was softer sleeping on a towel.
No towels.
No phone in the room, we had to ask at reception 2x to get a phone. they told us to order room service at reception, this was a 300m walk across the property.
a dog was sleeping in the "courtyard" outside our room there was a dirty dog bed near the front door. the dog would loudly bark at us when coming to room.
The view from the room was of the service area washing machine facilities.
Definitely not 5* possibly 3* at best.
Please bear in mind that this was the most expensive and biggest room in the property.
not a great experience. Luckily hotels.com was able to negotiate us an early checkout refund.
Not what its marketed as.
Stay here if you like rock hard beds and views of laundry facilities next to a busy road.
Staff don't care, the trainee's were very nice and kind though, i think they understood that its mutton dressed up as lamb.
Very budget, there are way better options available closer to Lisbon and you can visit this area on a day trip.

Não recomendo ficar nesse hotel se você tem bebê
Se você tem um bebê, não vá para esse hotel. Na primeira noite, minha bebê não dormiu nada e se mexia muito, sendo que ela dorme muito bem desde que nasceu. Quando fomos ver o berço, ele estava apenas com um cobertor, em cima dos ferros, sem colchão! Quando avisei a recepcionista Rita, ela veio com uma toalha de banho pra colocar no berço e achei um absurdo. Ai ela falou que o hotel estava cheio de crianças e havia acabado os colchões da propriedade. Falei que na reserva já havia solicitado o berço e que se não havia, não deveriam ter aceitado a nossa reserva. Ela disse que não tinha o que fazer. Depois de muita discussão, veio um funcionário e trouxe um colchão. Os funcionários, são mal treinados, brigam entre si na frente dos hóspedes. Os poucos animais do local, são mal cuidados, inclusive o mau cuidado já se vê na entrada, que tem uma fonte que não funciona e que está suja e com lodo, mal cuidada. Janela não fecha, entrando luminosidade no quarto. Ar condicionado forte com vento em cima da cama, não sendo confortável. Na primeira noite, não tinha cobertor, passamos frio. Na segunda noite, deram um cobertor com mau cheiro. Único ponto bom: local muito bonito com alguns poucos funcionários simpáticos, como o exemplar garçom Sr João, café da manhã bom.
