What one would expect from a hotel of this quality. The hotel itself is a very modern well equipped place (including free Wi-Fi) in a sixteenth century shell. Makes for an interesting combination. The hotel sits within a citadel overlooking the water at Cascais.Staff were very helpful and it was just a very nice place to be based for a... More

From the moment we arrived the staff were welcoming, informative and very courteous. The receptionist was eager to please and the doorman explained the history and took us around the hotel on the way to our rooms. The rooms (sea view superior) are well appointed, large and comfortable. The restaurant is very good and again the waitress was wonderful. The... More

This hotel is top. First the staff. Be it at reception, serving breakfast, cleaning the rooms or whenver you need them, all employees express a high quality standard. The room (we had nr 100) was spacious, with a +2 m bed, Wi-Fi working from the first moment and all other lovely things. The breakfast offering was a daily feast, the... More

Stayed 25 - 28th April 2013. Have stayed in a number of hotels over the last five years or so, and never one better than the Pousada de Cascais. Situated inside the walls of the old Cidadela (Citadel = Fort) overlooking the marina where the pre-revolution Royal Family had one of their palaces, the buildings have been sensitively and beautifully...

My husband and I were fortunate to attend our very good friend's wedding in April. What a fantastic time we had. The hotel and staff were teriffic. There was not one point of our stay which was not perfect. Our room was lovely, the view of the courtyard very pretty. The hotel was immaculate throughout as was the manners and... More

The pousada is a stunning combination of old architecture and superb modern design plus quality art works and good location and I love an indoor pool on a spring holiday. Here it's quite spacious, lots of natural light, air-conditioned - all to myself most days - lovely. It is next to the informal dining area but this was hardly used... More

An absolutely beautliful Pousada, located in charming Cascais! The Old Forteleza was restored and made into an incedible Pousada! Our stay was from March 27 to April 3rd, 2013. From the moment we arrived we were treated like "Royalty". The staff and management go over and above to make the guests comfortable! Rooms are modern and very clean. The indoor... More

In early April we were fortunate enough to have our wedding at this lovely hotel. We had seventeen guests most of whom stayed in the hotel as well and we all shared an excellent experience. The rooms, from standard to junior suite, lived up to the brochure, very modern, well-appointed, comfortable and clean. The wedding went smoothly because the staff... More

Stayed here with my wife while taking part in a conference. It was mostly excellent apart from a non-existant view (see photo), a shortage of irons to borrow (we eventually got an iron but they didn't ever manage an ironing board) and a gym that opened late. These weren't major issues and the hotel overall was genuinely very good... you... More
