Hotel Casa Palmela

A luxurious countryside casa, designed for complete disconnection from a busy world

Pass through the grand gates of Casa Palmela and prepare to be utterly relaxed. You’ll approach the hotel along a long, vineyard-lined road, the rolling hills of Arrábida Natural Park on all sides. The serene white 18th-century house has been completely restored into a luxurious countryside casa, designed for complete disconnection from a busy world. 

Bedrooms and suites at Casa Palmela are light-filled and elegantly pastel-hued. Touches of charm reveal themselves. Here an exquisitely tiled ceiling, there a vase of blooms that complement contemporary floral fabrics. Many bedrooms have balconies overlooking the vineyards, or views over the hotel’s fragrant gardens. Long, leisurely breakfasts can be served on the terrace in the warm summer air. And dine with a dramatic mountain backdrop in the hotel’s atmospheric restaurant, Zimbral.

A stay at Casa Palmela is about total immersion in the surrounding countryside. Spend your days lounging by the inviting swimming pool or strolling through the estate. Trails snaking through the valleys are ripe for exploration by foot or on horseback, with Portuguese picnics and refreshing local wine. World-class golf courses, wineries and Arrábida’s undiscovered beaches are within touching distance. If that all sounds just a little too much hard work, the hotel’s ‘Slow Wellness’ area offers bespoke massage treatments to soothe away any thoughts of reality.
 

Enjoy your stay!

Warm Seas & Cool Wine

Warm seas and cool wine

The verdant green mountains of Arrábida Natural Park surround Casa Palmela, giving way to beautiful, secluded beaches. Hidden coves can be discovered within a short bike ride from the hotel, or hire a private boat and explore sleepy lagoons and secret caves from the sea. If you’d rather stay dry, enjoy a picnic of local cheese and wine among the soothing sounds of the cicadas and birdlife in the park.

Horse ride at Hotel Casa Palmela

In the saddle

Whether you're a keen equestrian or cyclist, hop in the saddle to see the Arrábida Natural Park from a breathtakingly different perspective. With more than 70 hectares of blossoming flora around the farm and dramatic mountain ranges to explore, you'll cover more ground on horse or by bicycle.

Beautiful facility and location with outstanding staff

My wife and I, along with our three kids (teenage+) vacationed in Portugal for over a week. We stayed in several locations throughout the country. Honestly, our only regret was that we didn't have a longer stay at Casa Palmela. There is so much to love about this place. First off, the staff are amazing.

Can't wait to come back!

A delightful experience in every way.

I can't speak highly enough of João and his colleagues in the restaurant. They were charming, attentive and knowledgeable about the food and the wine. Dinner there was an absolute pleasure. The hotel and its surroundings are delightful; our room (and the rest of the hotel) was spotless and comfortable. Read more[SPLIT]Read lessWalking through the surrounding cork forest was a delight.
