History of Alcácer Do Sal in a few lines:

It's not related, but we DO recommend the accommodation we stayed in if you're passing through or want to visit the surrounding villages. Parking is not a problem.
4Ever Palace Design&Nature, It has a very good rating, and we can vouch for that. It cost us €141 for 2 people, 3 nights.
It has everything you could possibly need, the service is beyond perfect, everything is spotless, the kitchen is amazing, and anything you might have forgotten or thought it didn't have, it has! 😁 It has more things than your own house.
The truth is, the house takes care of even the smallest detail, and the service was perfect even before we arrived. Here YEAH We would definitely come back.
If we had to find fault with anything, it would only be in the bathrooms, 1 because you have to wait 3 minutes for the hot water to come out and 2 because the shower head and hose where the water comes out was a little broken.
There are many different types of rooms: single, small family, larger family, or groups of friends. Entertainment is available for all sorts of purposes, including board games, darts, billiards, foosball, children's toys, a swimming pool, and more.
Everything closes very early; practically nothing was open when we arrived, but the accommodation staff found us some options, and this one they suggested was a great find. It's located on the main avenue. The portions aren't very large, but everything was delicious, the place was nice, and the service was excellent; they speak Spanish.
