None of the pictures you see will do justice to the majesty that is Fortaleza do Guincho. Arriving in Lisbon after a long overseas flight and layover in Madrid, we took our rental car along the A5 out towards the hotel. It being our first time in Portugal and heading into what seemed to be the suburbs, a small bit... More

Together with my wife, we stayed for 1 night in a Junior Suite - it was an excellent stay, we promised to return once the summer come. The hotel is elegant but discrete, with a charm that overpass the 'normal' hotels. The restaurant is a real 1* Michelin, making good steps toward the 2nd one. Highly recommended. More

I recently stayed in a 3* hotel near Cascais in Portugal but went in search of finding a more suitable hotel for my next visit. I happened upon this hotel after a 3 hour walk along the stunning coastline. Staff and service was excellent and even though I wasn't staying at the hotel, I was treated extremely well. I spent...

This hotel is part of the high-end 'Relais et Chateau' chain that started in France and has spread world-wide, and as such feels it has a license to charge high prices. The hotel is a converted fort jutting out into the sea with great beaches to either side. The rooms are very comfortable and well appointed with great views along... More

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

Bar area and siiting room overlooking the ocean was a lovely spot to sit in the late afternoon sun. wifi was excellent in communal areas (none in... 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.

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
