The Charm Of Cascais

Tucked in a peaceful, residential corner of Cascais, this boutique 5-star guesthouse is a short walk from the marina, the sea and the town centre. Landmarks nearby include Paula Rego Historical House, Cascais Beach, Cascais Municipal Market and the Manuel Possolo Hippodrome, with Guincho Road fish restaurants and a golf course also close by.

Housed in an Edwardian villa set around a Mediterranean garden with fruit trees and a bio herb patch used in the kitchen, the property feels intimate and polished. Only eight en‑suite rooms with large bathrooms, bathrobes, deluxe toiletries, LED/LCD TVs, safes, desks, air conditioning/heating and free Wi‑Fi keep the vibe snug and modern. The lounge is the social hub — fireplace, pool table and daily 5pm traditional tea and scones.

A 10×5 outdoor pool with sun loungers and complimentary pool towels is the centrepiece for lazy days. There’s a spa centre and massage room, a small library, bicycles for rent, concierge and a tour desk to book local trips. Onsite services include parking, airport transfers (surcharge), car rental, laundry/dry cleaning and limited room service.

Complimentary wireless internet throughout the property and in‑room desks make working easy. Additional transport services such as limo/town car and roundtrip airport shuttles are available.

The garden restaurant serves light lunches by the pool and draws on the villa’s herb garden for fresh flavours. A complimentary buffet breakfast is offered daily (9:00–10:30), and the vinoteca hosts Oporto wine tasting. Bars include a lounge, poolside bar and beach bar nearby — expect Portuguese wine and easy access to local seafood spots.
