A lovely hotel set in a quiet location on the Atlantic coast. The hotel is set in a National Park about 4 miles North West of Cascais [Near Lisbon]. It's a great location to explore the Atlantic coastline or for day trips into Lisbon and Cascais. The rooms are generously sized, very comfortable and clean. Staff are attentive and helpful... More

I saw this hotel in a magazine years ago and always wanted to visit. The location is really nice if you like a remote beach atmosphere with gorgeous "Big Sur" waves and wind but without a lot of commercialization nearby. The hotel was very nice with great service. The room was unique and I loved the little miniature seating area... More

Now I understand what first class service really is: we drove up, were greeted warmly and seated at a table to check in, and while we were going through the formalities, they took our car keys, and by the time we had signed in, our bags were upstairs in our room, nobody was hovering around waiting for a tip. Not... More

Very nice, great staff. Rooms are nice, but sea view rooms are somewhat different from the description. Only junior suites have full sea view, others are partial sea view, but lovely rooms. A bit out of the way from anything. It's a 15 minute drive into Cascais. More

While not really in Cascais (about 20 minutes away by car) this old fortress has been magnificently preserved and the best place to stay just to enjoy the scenery. The rooms are small but clean and with all the amenities. Staff is fantastic. The views from the restaurant bar or terrace are breathtaking. You really feel like you are in... More

We became addicted to this hotel, north of Lisbon, in absolute wilderness. The view is stunning. The sound of the waves crashing against the rocky shore is impressive. The staff is very friendly and efficient, the rooms are extremely cosy and the atmosphere is one of total relaxation. Add the Michelin-starred restaurant and you have the perfect getaway. Best to...

Fortaleza do Guincho is an old sea front fort converted to hotel in the open ocean beach of Guincho, about 15 minutes by car from the tourist resort town of Cascais. Guincho is completely unlike Cascais, a wild beach with only a few hotels and restaurants dotting the landscape, most of which consists of protected wildlife areas. Close by are... More
