This is our third visit to this apartment complex, you get a very warm welcome and the staff all speak English, Rural self-catering with lovely swimming pool and a small pool for the little ones. The apartments are nice and comfortable with pleasant quite surrounds and the restaurant is very pleasant, continental breakfast is included in the price, free Wi-Fi in the restaurant and bar area, a car really is an essential if you want to discover the surrounding area, 55 km from Lisbon and 10 km from Setubal, a taxi from Lisbon Airport around 60 Euros. Excellent base for explore the region, Palmela Castle, Setubal city for shopping and supermarket for all your needs, from Setubal you can get the ferry boat to Troia Peninsula complex and beach, a visit to Lisbon is a most, you can get a train from Lisbon to Sintra or Estoril, a visit to Belem to the famous "Pastel de Nata" (custard tart) Overall a good place to spend a quit holiday, I recommend the Palmela Apartments. We drove from Newcastle to Plymouth and then Brittany Ferries to Santander(Spain) and from Santander to the Palmela Apartments is a 7 hour drive. I do recommend these apartments.

“Good value”

Nice place for short retreat or vacation. Located in a very quiet zone. Warm, welcoming personnel at the reception desk and restaurant. Good prices for the value. Nice swimming-pool area.

Nice place for short retreat or vacation. Located in a very quiet zone. Warm, welcoming personnel at the reception desk and restaurant. Good prices for the value. Nice swimming-pool area. It's great that there's an option for a light meal at noon and full-meal at night. Good apartment for a family stay - self-catering is a possibility. Needs to give a bit more attention to cleaning and maintenance of aging facilities and equipment. No Wi-Fi in rooms, which may be a plus if one is looking for some un-plugged in time.

“Great value-for-money appartment with good hotel-like service and nice swimming pools”

After a round trip from Lisbon to the Algarve and back, we stayed over at "Aldeamento Turistico de Palmela" for 2 nights prior to returning to Lisbon. Although the outside appearance of the appartments demonstrates a need for maintenance, the overall experience was good bang-for-the-buck. The appartment's interior was convenient, and with facilities such as included breakfast in the central restaurant, soaps and towels, we felt it like we were in a hotel. I can relate to another reviewer's remark about the matresses being thin, although they were OK for us. We found that the breakfast was good, although if you stay longer, you may find the variety a bit limited. Together with our 6 year old son, and fellow holidaymakers (many appear to be of Portugese and French origin), we had a great time at the large swimming pool. There's also a large pool suitable for toddlers. The surrounding area is quiet except for some distant highway noise, and there appears to not be too much to do. There are some interesting places to visit in Setúbal and its surroundings, which are closeby assuming you're travelling by car. We for instance spent some time on a round-trip with the ferry to the Troia peninsula, cosy down-town Setúbal (near the east-end of Avenida Luisa Todi), and the nice Alegro mall (with some cinemas too, if you're interested). The personnel was friendly, supportive, and flexible, for instance with printing our boarding passes, and guarding our luggage in the office on the departure day on which we left late, and were allowed to continue to use the facilities such as the pool and showers, yet a late check-out proved not possible due to the room having been booked by a next occupant.

“Rural Self-Catering”

A rural location about 55kms from Lisbon, 10kms from Setúbal. We have enjoyed a lovely 2 weeks there - lucky with the weather which was warm and sunny.

A rural location about 55kms from Lisbon, 10kms from Setúbal. We have enjoyed a lovely 2 weeks there - lucky with the weather which was warm and sunny. All accommodation is self-catering but with restaurant on site. A basic continental breakfast is included in the price - the bread is delicious. Apartments are clean and comfortable - hob and microwave for cooking + fridge. Will need to bring your own kettle, iron and hairdryer if you use them. Swimming pool is great - a really good size. Other than the bar, that's it. Free wi-fi in the reception/public area. Reception staff speak English, but the feel is very Portuguese. A car really is an essential other than high taxi fees. A good base to explore the region with lots of really interesting places to see. If going to Lisbon, there's ample parking space at Palmela station and then get the train . Do buy the Viva Viagem card for 50 cents and top up (like an Oyster Card in London). This is much cheaper than buying individual tickets. FPalmela accomodation wasn't in our Sat Nav and not signed off the N10. Check your route on Google maps. We put Montado Hotel and Golf resort in which is just the previous turning off the N10 (you need to go through Pontes on the N10). The turning off the N10 has a small cafe on the corner and a sign for Vale de Albunheira by the recycling containers. After just over 1km You will find the sign (on your left) to FPalmela - that's where you turn right! Just follow the road until you get there - the tarmac ends so you shouldn't go past it! A good base to explore the region, plus supermarket shopping in Setúbal for all you need.
