Casa Vela Boutique House

Tucked into the old historic quarter of Cascais, this boutique guesthouse sits within easy walking distance of the marina, Cascais Municipal Market and attractions like the Paula Rego Historical House and Manuel Possolo Hippodrome. Beaches and the Boca do Inferno are a short stroll away; Guincho Beach and Estoril Casino are a quick drive. Family-friendly and pet-friendly, it’s a central base for exploring the coast.

Housed in a Beaux-Arts property with 3,500 m² of manicured gardens, waterfalls and lakes, Casa Vela offers 18 individually styled rooms named for Portuguese discoveries and spices. Rooms are air-conditioned and simple but chic, with flat-screen TVs, desks, coffee/tea makers and private bathrooms (some with rainfall showerheads or shower/tub combos). Expect a calm, sophisticated vibe, a rooftop terrace with views, a lobby fireplace and daily housekeeping.

Two outdoor pools, a sauna and a spa/massage room let you unwind on-site. There’s also an arcade and playroom for kids, a small aquapark area, a bar/lounge, a restaurant, a picnic area and even a casino on the premises. Babysitting is available for a surcharge. Wake up and wander straight into the gardens or up to the rooftop terrace for a breather.

Complimentary Wi‑Fi throughout the property, multilingual staff, luggage storage and a safe-deposit box. Express check-in/out, dry cleaning/laundry, roundtrip airport shuttle (surcharge) and onsite self-parking (charges) are also available.

An on-site restaurant and a relaxed bar/lounge serve drinks and meals. A complimentary hot/cold buffet breakfast is offered daily from 8 AM to noon to kick off your day of coastal exploring.
