“New Year in Cascais”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 January 2012
13
people found this review helpful

We have been coming to Cascais staying at the Vila gale for the past 10 years,but this was the first time in the winter. The hotel has been substantially updated, but has kept the kitchenettes in the suites which were a godsend to us when the kids were little. The hotel is 10min walk from the town centre but that suits us because the view is fantastic and you are right on the Atlantic - with a pedestrianised walk/cycle way all the way to guincho. we love the lighthouse shining out (but dare say this may not be everyone's taste) mThe staff are very helpfull and kid freindly. The large buffet breakfast keeps us going till late afternoon, has a short order cook and sparkling wine available for breakfast bucks fizz!!The rooms are large with sep sitting room/bedroom and kitchenette- very clean with lots of storage. One gripe (minor) is that we hate having to pay for the safe, but otherwise, great value and well located for sights. boca de inferno is 5 mins walk and 10 mins to casa de Guia has free bike hire- we cycled to guincho and back with lunch at one of the hotels overlooking the Atlantic. Sadly the fireworks for new year were cancelled due to austerity measures, but we had a greAt time nonetheless.

“Good Hotel, even better location”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 January 2012
6
people found this review helpful

Clean rooms and very good location
Top location next to the sea and close to the best tourist spots in Cascais.
Recommended if you like to make long walks by the sea, bike riding, etc.
I used the room service breakfast, it was ok and reasonably priced.

The only bad thing i would like to mention was the somewhat noisy fridge in the small kitchen.
The kitchen was the only part of the room that looked a little outdated and not that useful.

“Excellent service”

Service was excellent, wonderful view from sea facing room, food good, massages out of this world! But they should invest in new towels and pillows- towels were worn out, pillows terribly lumpy!

“Ideal city break by the sea”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 November 2011
6
people found this review helpful

Vila Galle is a good quality hotel with good sized bedrooms. Hotel is spacioius with pleasant gardens and pool,the bar is smart and modern. The buffet breakfast is fine and the buffet dinner in the evening was more than adequate with a good range of choice. Wine in the restaurant was reasonably priced.
The hotel has excellent sea views or ii at the back of the hotel over a park that is worth visiting. The town of Cascais is a very pleasant and attractive seaside resort with plenty of bars and many restaurants from cheap to expensive.
What is ideal as a destination is the quick access by train into the city of Lisbon which with its many sights is worth spending two - three days exploring. When you have had enough of the bustling city you can return to Cascais and the sea. Ideal.

Room Tip: Higher floor sea view room ensures an excellent view

“Better than average, and great value for money”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 November 2011
4
people found this review helpful

I have been travelling to VGC for 5 years as part of a golf tour. It is perfect for the job. Clean with good firm beds and a 10 minute walk into the town. Breakfast is ok but inevitably samey having had it 20 mornings over the years. If you are looking for value for money, this represents a sound choice.

Criticisms - wi-fi is pay for service - altho' the hotel was less than half-full on day of our departure they want 35 euros for late check-out.

We are going to try the Guincho next year.

On a wider note - TA grading is clumsy for some reviews I write - this is not really a very good hotel per se and nor is it average; rather it is good for the money they charge.

Room Tip: Sea view rooms worth booking.
