Carlos, was a wonderful host! Very welcoming and accommodating. … always wanting to make sure you were comfortable! A unique experience in a beautiful home. Shared areas were spacious, well appointed and amazingly beautiful. Rooms were well equipped with everything you need. Much like a bed and breakfast which I was not expecting… not to mention, the breakfast in the morning was fabulous. Carlos put a lot of effort into serving fresh fruit, croissants, pastries, Portuguese cold cuts, cheeses, fresh orange juice and espresso‘s, lattes, whatever coffee you desire! Thank you Carlos for making our stay in Cascais so memorable!

This is a difficult review to write. There is so much to like between the beautiful old building, sea views, great food (especially breakfast), and some of the best service I have received. However all of this is let down by some of the rooms. Namely the two in the basement with garden access. While otherwise nice, they both feature a half glass wall to the hallway. This odd design choice lets in light to the basement, but also acts as a very poor sound insulator. This means sounds coming into the room (staff moving downstairs) but also sound out of the room. For the self conscious, it’s not an ideal solution. Its definitely a 5 star experience upstairs, and with some redesign, also the basement would live up to rest of the potential.

I Stayed here with 4 friends for 3 nights last week and we had the best time ever .. the rooms were amazing and worked with 2 sharing one suite and 3 of us another. We had so much space and 2 bathrooms for the 3 sharing. The hotel arranged transport from the airport to the hotel and then for our return journey. We were overwhelmed with how attentive ALL the staff were. From the breakfast team (breakfast was delicious ) to the pool staff who served cocktails, delicious rosè and lunch and moved sunbeds as needed and umbrellas to the reception team who couldn’t do enough plus recommending restaurants which were all fantastic. Then there’s the spa which was such a fun experience and my friend had a massage which she said was the best massage ever (she’s a massage expert) I couldn’t recommend this hotel more and cascais is a very special place

The thing about ”boutique” hotels is they often have limited rooms with little consistancy between them. Often the hotel is a former mansion or castle that has been converted to create the accomodations. The rooms featured on the website often look amazing but many of the rooms are often former butler's pantries or attic rooms the crazy aunt lived in with alll her cats so you have to be careful when booking. This place has some of that. Had we ended up in a former little closet room in the corner, we would not have been happy here. Fortunately we had booked the designer room with a balcony facing the ocean (210) which was fantastic to enjoy the ocean views. We moved the long bench from in front of the bed onto the balcony during the day to use as a sun lounger. Room was smaller but had tall ceilings and nicely remodeled. Comfy bed and nice bathroom with shower with all kinds of water options plus toilets had heated bidet hose. It is important to know that the pool area is seasonal due to the close proximity to the ocean and doesnt open until mid-April. During much of year it is closed as the North Atlantic waves thrash over the pool area filling it with dirty sea water. The hotel should state this on their homepage to avoid guests feeling a bit misled. I attached some pictures showing the pool area we had without any lounges and water looking like a sewer discharge. The weather we had was sunny and hot yet couldn't use the pool so felt frustrated. I'm a daily lap swimmer so had been hoping to use the pool in the mornings for my swims. The view of the ocean with the crashing waves against the rocks made the stay very relaxing. Also it is a nice short walk to town with wonderful views along the way. Additionally it is a beautiful walk or run to the west along the rock cliffs by the ocean. Truly magical location. The hotel itself was lovely and ecclectic with fun art throughout. Hotel staff was very nice and the included a quality breakfast buffet was tasty and plentiful. We had to leave in the middle of the night for a very early flight out. The manager had take away lunches for us which was a nice touch. We booked the hotel in part because it was part of the AMEX Platinum Hotel collection which comes with some additional benefits if you have the card. We had been to Lisbon many times but so glad we discovered Cascais this time. Certainly will be back.
