Swim-up Rooms & Private Pools in Setubal District

Amazing location, the villa was super calm and private despite being surrounded by so many other villas. The surrounding forest and beach are just stunning and in September almost empty. The villa with the private pool was perfect since we were traveling with a baby.

Great house with 3 bedrooms and an equipped kitchen and a private pool! Beautiful location. Peaceful and green. Lovely beach. Moana restaurant has a great view!

The villa was a perfect fit for a family of 5. 2 bathrooms, 3 bedrooms and very clean. The pool was a great size and it was good to have the larger pools to go to aswell. The walk to the beach was fantastic and there was no one on the beach ever, it was beautiful white sands and empty. The area was quiet, clean, well spaced out and thought about. The main pool at the clubhouse is the best larger pool. A good size, also an indoor pool as the outdoor pool isn't heated. Pool table inside for people to play on and wifi.

Tolle Unterkunft - offen, hell und mit guter zimmeraufteilung. Terasse mit Sonnenuntergang :) Kurzer Weg zum Pool. Einzig die Ausstattung: kein Spülmittel, Spültuch, Geschirrspüler-Tabs, Kaffee - alles Kleinigkeiten, aber diese runden eine tolle Unterkunft ab. Auch die Instandhaltung der Sonnenschirme und Dusche am Pool ist zu verbessern.

The beach was absolutely stunning! There were 3 gorgeous outdoor pools and 2 indoor pools. We enjoyed the football pitch, the tennis courts and the bike hire. Nearby Comporta had some lovely restaurants.

This property is charming! This area is made up of small villages in a country setting. The property sits just on the edge of these towns, quiet and spacious with lovely landscaping and outdoor seating. There was a pool but it was too late in the season for us to use it. Our bed was very comfortable, the bath more than adequate with lots of warm water. The breakfast was exceptional, with lot of options. The owners had a very clever way of organizing it. You were offered a menu with several selections. Each morning your meal was prepared and tucked into a basket. When you were ready to eat, you would pick up your basket and pick an area to sit, maybe the garden, the indoor dining area, or maybe under the veranda next to the pool. It was lovely. If eggs were part of your meal, they were promptly prepared and served hot and fresh. The owner was friendly, helpful and considerate. At check-in he immediately offered an orientation and answered questions. With a car, the property is convenient to the ocean and sites. It was a comfortable and extremely pleasant place to stay.

The entire complex is absolutely gorgeous, the kitchen and living room are a beautiful design and the whole place is so quaint! The pool is a really decent size and has plenty of sun loungers. The hosts are so incredibly helpful and helped us so much with taxis for 11 of us to a wedding even though we made it a challenge for them and left it til last minute! So thank you so much for the effort. The hotel is quite remote so if you need transport, especially for bigger groups I would recommend letting the hosts know in advance. The breakfast was so delicious and comes in really sweet little boxes, with fresh fruit, fresh juice (different each day!) fresh bread and eggs. Absolutely loved our stay here and would highly recommend!

The guesthouse is very quiet. It is located close to the Arrabida National Park, to the gorgeous Cabo Espichal and to many beaches. The common space is beautifully organized, with a large living room where you can spend time in the evening or on a rainy day, a nice swimming pool, and a large garden. The breakfast was very nice, with fresh fruit, warm bread, homemade jam, cheese, and cold cuts (if you want: they ask for your wishes the day before). The owners are welcoming and helpful. Our room was large, with a comfortable bed, beautiful furniture, and a large cupboard. The bathroom was large and clean. We hope to visit again during the warm season.

It’s very cute, comfortable, quiet and cosy - you might even say homely. Had a great welcome and Mario and his staff are incredible friendly. We were want for nothing and loved being somewhere where we did not have to worry about the parking and could get easily to and from seisimbra . Breakfast was great and the outdoor area with the pool is lovely weather permitting . Recommend highly for a relaxing few days and especially if you want to be close to Arrabida and seisimbra.

We booked 2 nights with the intention to relax at the end of our 2 week trip. We did not know much about the area. It turned out to be just the perfect location and the perfect accommodation for us! We could have stayed longer. The pool area is great and partly in the shade. We spent our afternoons just chilling in the garden. Closeby you also have some nice beaches, restaurants and a winery. But you definitely need a car.

Very nice staff and very nice place! We stayed in a bungalow with a private pool, for 9 people, and I was very comfortable.

It was nice and quiet, our dog was welcome.Everything was clean but most importantly : very nice owners and staff.

Tiny little house that contains everything that is needed for a shorter or a longer stay: fridge, coffee machine, stove, dishwasher, comfy big shover, big comfy bed, a little living room.

The house was spacious, had a lovely games room in the attic and a generous-size pool that was very well kept. Houses in the Herdade are far appart enough that you can relax in quiet privacy. Even though there was a hickup in the booking of the hour of the mid week cleaning, which was very disruptive, you can tell that staff is genuinely doing their best, despite overwhelmed.

The villa was wonderful and spacious with excellent facilities. The pool and jacuzzi are wonderful to swim and relax. There is more than enough Room for a large family or two if travelling together.

This is a fabulous hotel that offers a relaxing and tranquil atmosphere. Our room (balcony overlooking the pool) was just as described on the hotel’s website and was calm and spacious. The pool area was immaculately maintained and chill. The staff were friendly and welcoming…especially considering our lack of Portuguese, they were great with English and very patient. The breakfast buffet had lots of tasty options, the food throughout our entire stay was excellent. Really enjoyed our entire stay.

The view from the bedroom of the swimming pool and onto the ocean were fantastic. The complementary shuttle into Sesimbra was great too. Lovely pool and really reasonably priced bar food and drinks. Can’t wait to go back.

Plenty of breakfast options available - it'd have to be a very fussy eater who couldn't find something suitable ! Had dinner one evening in the restaurant which was also good. Lots of space by the pool and never any difficulty finding a sunbed. The room was a good size, very comfortable and spotlessly clean. Nice to have a little grassy garden for a 'balcony' for a change (we had a pool view room) ! As often is the case, some previous negative reviews made us wary in advance, but our worries were completely unfounded.

We thoroughly enjoyed this hotel. As we like to walk, making our way to the beach was a bit of an adventure. Hotel is conveniently located near the walking trail to the castle. The pool area was lovely with lots of chairs and umbrellas. The breakfast was outstanding with lots of choices. The restaurant atmosphere was nice and food was very good. Staff were extremely helpful and friendly. Would definitely stay again.

We stayed in a two bedroom suite with our dog. The suite was spacious, clean, had two balconies overlooking the pool with a distant view of the sea, well equipped, quiet. Simply stunning. The hotel gardens are well kept and very pleasant, with dog friendly areas. Breakfast was great. If you don’t know Sesimbra, be prepared for a uphill walk to the hotel.😅

Excelent location. Busy area but quiet room in the night that it's the main moment we were using the place. We didn't use, but the kitchen was really nice for preparing youw own meal.

Reasonable price in good location with all facility in a room for a small family

It was a very nice stay, very central and close to everything!!

Nice and friendly service. Good location. Clean and cosy room.

The size of the upper appartment with a big terrace, big bed, and natural light in the whole appartment, besides the view of the Tower of the Cathedral just by the terrace. The restaurant & grill is also great and cozy. The beef was really good!

Staff was great, very helpful and friendly. There's a cool bar and they have a place to park the bike inside. I went in low season do a got a room for myself. Thanks a lot!

Very modern and clean. The interior design was really cool and the common room was cosy. There was safe indoor bike storage and the building felt very secure.

Location and hostel vibe. The room was nice and I had it to myself. Bike storage was convenient and safe. breakfast was good and filling. They were really nice

The stay was great, the free breakfast with a small selection but yummy and a great service including a luggage room!

This hostel is very good. I Think next time I am been there In Portugal I Am book this hostel

Our stay at Cafofos da Zeta has probably been the best stay we have had in an apartment up to now. The host, Liseta was very friendly and welcoming. The response from her was very quick and instructions on how to get in was very easy. She is lovely and even suggested places to eat and go, so thank you. She was happy to help and answered any questions we had, also she checked in on us, making sure that we were ok and having fun. Once we entered the room, it felt like home, the whole interior and decoration, it was definitely to our liking. It was spacious and there were little things here and there that made it cute, it is a cute looking, quaint room. I liked that there is this little part of the room, where there is a wardrobe and drawers, it had a full length mirror, and opposite the drawers there is a little cushioned bench and above that is a window that opens inwards. Also by the bed there is a door which opened inwards to a tiny balcony, you could step out a little and see the tiny streets, it was beautiful. The kitchen is nicely tucked away, with all the appliances you need in a kitchen. The bathroom is lovely, it had shower gel and shampoo. Part of the experience in Portugal was the accommodation, staying at Cafofos da Zeta completed our holiday. It was nice to return back after a long day to a nice homely room, it was comfy and cosy, the place was lovely and it had everything you need. So thank you Liseta for making our stay in Setúbal, a great experience.

Our first floor (second floor by American counting) apartment was smartly renovated and beautifully, tastefully appointed within an older building on a charming street with a perfect balance of quiet and activity (that pretty much describes all of Setúbal's historic center). We truly loved everything about how it was modernized while maintaining original structures and accents and we heard from locals who know the building that the top floor is even better. Easy walk from train/bus station and easy walk to Praça do Bocage and Avenida Luísa Todi, and 8-minute walk to the docks for a ferry to the Tróia Pennisula (a must see). Right across the street is a nice place (Alegre-me) for healthy tasty brunch/lunch/snack and a few doors down the street a great place for wine and snacks (Daniela). Finally, our host (super sweet Liseta) keep in good communication with us and met us on time to show us the place. We do plan to return to Setúbal for a closer look as a retirement place and will definitely want to stay as Cafofos da Zeta again. If it's available for your trip and the price is right for you (it totally was for us--good value all around), then book it, but just not when we want to stay there....

The first time we walked in this apartment, we immediately fell in love and couldn’t control our excitement.  I found this place to be very clean, spacious and comfortable. You won’t even spot a dust in this apartment. The bathroom and shower was excellent. It was very tidy and got everything you need. (blow dryer, toilet paper, shampoo, towels,etc.) The bed was so comfortable and the kitchen so convenient! The place looks exactly like it does on the pictures. The neighborhood outside the apartment had a lot of life within walking distances. However, it was very quiet when you were in the loft. You just have to walk a little to awesome cafes and shops! There is also a big grocery store nearby. Our Host was very nice, easy to talk to and very friendly when she welcomed us. We even had some problems because we had a delayed trip, but our host was so accomodating and instructed us what to do! I would definitely come again!

Superb accommodation! The location couldn’t be better, you are right in the centre of Setubal. Restaurants, shops, laundry and everything you could possibly need is just steps away. Very pleasant walks to tourist information, municipal market and the port. The apartment is super clean and very well equipped. Everything that needed in the kitchen, is there. Proper wine glasses and the corkscrew waiting for you! The place is very nicely decorated, I stayed in the “Sardine Room”and it was artsy. The bed is good, the bedding is nice. There is enough towels, there is a hairdryer and an iron. The host is super easy to communicate with, she speaks perfect English, and she will also arrange a very reasonable airport transfer. It couldn’t be better!

My friends and I were very pleased with the property. It is located in an older area of Setubal and we so enjoyed the ambience of the area. All the amenities were close by i.e. a huge market, grocery store, buses, trains and yet within our cobble-stone streets were various food stores and shops selling everything imaginable. An empty suitcase recommended! This location is a safe area to wander about enjoying the culture of the area and the many cafes and restaurants. People very friendly and helpful. Close by is the waterfront and many parks for exploring. If you chose to stay here, enjoy the church bells which mark time. I know we miss them.

I had read great reviews about this hotels before booking, and we weren't disappointed. The hotel is lovely - big, sea-facing rooms with balconies, lovely decor and everything felt really clean and newly done. The facilities such as the infinity pool, pool area, spa (albeit a little small), and the bonus of being able to walk straight out onto the beach (and the local shops / restaurants etc all along the beach) were all fabulous. The staff were lovely, really helpful, and the breakfast buffet was a really good one - lots of options, lovely quality food etc. Sesimbra itself was quite quiet when we stayed (first week of June) but restaurants etc were definitely busier at the weekend, and I understand the area swings into peak season from July. Would definitely recommend!

Me and my girlfriend were here last week and we had a good time. The room was nice and the view from the balcony was stunning. The breakfast was alright with a nice selection. Sadly we did not get to try the pool as it was rather cold out during our stay and the pool is not heated. Next time we stay will be in the summer when it’s warmer. He had a good time and enjoyed everything the hotel has to offer

Having just spent 5 nights here on a mother daughter trip I would definitely recommend a stay and would love to come back. The hotel is situated opposite the beach and has easy access to the promenade that stretches the length of Sesimbra with its beautiful sandy beach and numerous restaurants. We stayed in a deluxe premium room that had a balcony with stunning views over the beach and sea. The room was spacious with excellent storage facilities and a bathroom with a walk in shower. It was so relaxing just sitting out on the balcony and enjoying the view. We also arranged to meet family at the hotel who stayed in a suite and so were lucky enough to spend time in their room…..superb accommodation and well worth the upgrade if you’re looking for something a bit special. Breakfast offered a good selection of cereals, pastries, cold meats, hot food and fruit. The choices of drinks were plentiful and you can even start the day with a glass of fizz! We made good use of the infinity pool, enjoying the view overlooking the sea and were always able to secure a spot to sunbathe. Unfortunately we ran out of time to use the Spa facilities…..but another reason for a return stay!

We were very impressed with the location of this hotel - front row seats to 24-hour ocean waves. There was a glitch with the water/pipes in the wing we were in and we had to move rooms. The staff was apologetic and amazing in their professionalism to find solutions that worked. Staff was very pleasant and friendly. Rooms are spacious and clean. Every room has a balcony I think. The seagulls float in the outdoor pool which is kind of nasty but since it’s January we didn’t plan on swimming out there. The location to local eateries is very close too which is a bonus. The tile work on the walls at floor 0 and up to floor 5 is amazing. I recommend this hotel to people. We enjoyed our stay very much. The village is beautiful. The people and staff are nice!

Lovely hotel with fantastic views over the bay in Sesimbea. The hotel has been designed to ensure every room has a sea view which is amazing given its size. Our room was a standard double and was a very good size with plenty of cupboard space. The hotel staff were very helpful and pleasant during the stay. The only two minor gripes I had were: 1. The condition of the spa, which was tired in places with the indoor pool requiring an underwater light to be screwed back into place for the duration of the stay. 2. The hotel did not have an iron for guests to use and would only offer a paid laundry service. I was over for a wedding and my shirt just needed a few creases removing yet I had to pay 3.50 euros for the service.
