 É na cidade de Alcácer do Sal, com mais de 5000 anos de História, remontando-nos para o final do período Neolítico, que se encontra instalada, em pleno Castelo, a Pousada D. Afonso II, um verdadeiro hotel de luxo. Por toda a cidade deparamo-nos com uma grande variedade de vestígios culturais, desde Fenícios, Árabes ou mesmo Romanos. A Pousada de Alcácer do Sal tem uma vista panorâmica sobre Rio Sado que, aqui, corre por um extenso e verdejante vale. História de Alcácer do Sal: Antes do domínio dos romanos, chamava-se Eviom e mantinha fortes relações comerciais com os povos mediterrâneos, na posse dos romanos, passou a Salatia Urbs Imperatoria e tinha cunhagem de moeda e direitos iguais aos dos municípios do Antigo Lácio. Alcácer, foi ainda capital episcopal no período Visigótico, passando para o domínio Árabe nos finais do século VIII e tornando-se assim uma das praças mais poderosas da Península.  No final do século X foi cobiçada por uma armada Viking que a encontrou inexpugnável. Em 1158, começaram as tentativas de conquista por parte de D. Afonso Henriques, tendo passado definitivamente para o domínio Português em 1217, no reinado de D. Afonso II. Foi nesta vila que D. Manuel I casou com a Infanta D. Maria, filha dos reis Católicos de Espanha, em 1500. Já nesta época, o castelo, originalmente construído pelos Árabes, deixara de ter a sua vocação militar, tendo passado a ser um convento Carmelita de Aracelli ainda durante o século XVI Ilustres filhos de Alcácer do Sal, foram o matemático e astrónomo Pedro Nunes, (séculoXVI), e o escritor Bernardim Ribeiro, nascido na vila do Torrão (século XV). Em 1833, Alcácer do Sal assiste a uma das batalhas que opuseram liberais e miguelistas.  É assim, neste cenário multimilenar que se enquadra esta Pousada, com uma posição dominante sobre o vale onde se produzem a cortiça, o arroz e o pinhão, que trazem a riqueza a esta região. |

Rather like the previous reviewer, we found the hotel to be very quiet. In fact, in the evening, we only saw one other couple, using the bar - though a few more emerged for breakfast.
The hotel is built inside the hilltop castle at Alcacer, though a proportion of it is in modern buildings, which could do with a serious paint job on the outside (flakes of paint were blowing around!). This doesn't detract from the atmosphere, but does make one question on the one hand whether it's getting enough business, and on the other, whether it's ultimately worth the room rate.
Our room was very spacious by European standards, and well furnished and clean - though windows didn't open (and one had a grille on the outside), and the whitewashed walls also needed painting.
Having worked out that 3 courses with wine at the restaurant would have cost more than the EUR150 we'd paid for the room, we headed into town for dinner. Be warned, in March at least, there is minimal choice of places to eat. One street back from the river (the main street, effectively) is a lovely regional restaurant - try the better of the local Pegoes wines.
The hotel's breakfast was better than we'd have expected given its automatic inclusion in the room rate.
Oh, and mind your head! There are low doorways! I think I still have a bump!

We have just returned from a week at Pousada de Alcaçer do Sal. For someone that likes to stay in a beautiful, quite and a good taste place, this is a good choice. The furniture and decoration was in a modern design stile very well connected with the history of the place. The room was spacious, and we could have an extra bed for our child without loosing too much space. The breakfast was lovely with a good choice of hot dishes, fruit, pastery and cheese (also soy products) but the quality was not always the same each day in the fruit choice (once very good and then evarge) . I am afraid the stuff was not expecting to have so many tourists in this week and some things were missing at the end of the week (no orange juice and natural yogurts?)Outros links:
The pool was lovely but once more the stuff was not expecting the good weather and tourists (lack of stuff?)…when we arrived, they were dirty (the small one was green!) and unpleasant and we needed to complain about that. The pool was clean in the next day but the bathrooms of the pool were just cleaned in the second day…to have towels from the hotel was nice. After this bad start, the pool was then very pleasant. It was a nice place for families with children. They could eat at lunch children menus at the pool and play a ball in a small garden near the pool without bothering the other guests. However, young children need an extra supervision since the place has lots of stairs and dangerous corners and with bad weather there isn’t that much that we can do with children. The hotel restaurant was nice and fancy but the dishes, besides being well done, were too small and too expensive. Nevertheless, there were nice restaurants in the centre of the small village. The stuff was very nice and helpful and makes us to forget the lack of people belonging to the stuff that the hotel apparently was having....
