Description:
The historic town of Alcácer do Sal, 90km southeast of Lisbon, is dominated by the Moorish citadel
(Arabic al qasr) that gives the town its name and which now houses a magnificent Pousada. The hotel
maintains the castellated walls and towers of the original structure and stands on a site that has been
occupied since Neolithic times overlooking the broad green valley of the River Sado. After the
Reconquista, the building housed a convent, of which the elegant cloister remains, but today the
keynote is luxury and tasteful modern touches in both art and woodwork complement areas of rough
ancient stonework, oriental rugs and Baroque coats of arms. The Pousada also has a small garden, a
seasonal pool, and a dining terrace.
