Through
Tucked behind grand iron gates in the heart of Arrábida Natural Park, Hotel Casa Palmela is an elegant 17th-century home remodeled as a luxurious countryside sanctuary. Nestled among Muscat vineyards between the mountains and the ocean, guests are invited to leave their own lives behind and embrace a world of splendor, indulgence, and freedom.
Destination
Positioned between the vibrant city of Lisbon and the spectacular beaches of Setúbal, Quinta do Esteval is a destination of its own. 70 hectares in natural hues of green, yellow, and brown offer a landscape perfect for riding, cycling, and picnic spreads of wine and cheese.
Climate
Warm weather all year means it's always a good time to visit Setúbal. May to October offers perfect temperatures of 25 - 30 C with minimal rainfall, while wine tasting is at its finest after the autumn harvest.
