My husband and I spent one night at the Dom Afonso II on 30 April 2012. We arrived at our appointed check-in time of shortly after 2pm but were told our suite was not ready and it would be an additional 30 minutes. We went along to the bar to wait, but could not find any staff to serve us.... More

Great out of the way and quiet, with great views of the country side. A very comfortable and beautifully restored old castle(Convent) with very helpful staff. Beautiful old art and and artifacts throughout the grounds and a great museum under the hotel. Food good service very friendly and courteous, would go back again. More

Don't be put off by the quite unattractive exterior - the interior is impressive, situated around the cloisters. A very good mixture of the traditional and the new. On arrival we were politely welcomed at the reception, but the young lady had very limited English. We had a standard room which was quite large and comfortably furnished.As with all the... More

The hotel is beautiful. It is the best renovation of an old building that I seen mixing some modern decoration with very good design & taste with the impressive historical building. Make sure you do not miss the museum underneath the hotel with amazing prehistorical artifacts and again excellent renovation work done when they found old ruins below the building... More

We stayed here out of season for two nights. The hotel has been converted from a castle perched on top of a hill above the small town of Alcacer do Sal. Every part of it resonates with the history of Portugal. We had a great deal because we are Seniors but there are also deals available, especially at this time... More

We stayed in this pousada with our 1 year old. The pousada is housed in a castle on a hill, with a modern annex containing most of the guest rooms. The building is great: while very austere you immediately get the castle-feel. The room was very large and had a nice balcony. The bedroom was modernised (wooden floors, new furniture)... More
