A few kilometres from the city of Lisbon, the Pousada Dom Afonso II, can be found in Alc??cer do Sal, with the luxuriant green valley of the Sado River as its background and surrounded by charming plains. An idyllic refuge carefully guarded in a millenary castle. Currently converted into a historical hotel it offers all the comforts of today accompanied by the high quality of the service. The decor and the design for the interiors and the rooms are exquisite and contemporary in harmonious contrast to the building's imposing architecture. The day can be filled with the most diverse activities ranging from golf, canoeing on the river, strolling through the paths of the Sado estuary's protected zones, going up in a hot-air balloon or enjoying the sunshine on the beaches with the golden sand and the breathtakingly blue sea of the Troia Peninsula or of Sesimbra.
