Property was set in a beautiful location but unfortunately it is quite remote. There is a bus service but would definitely recommend a car to see the area & explore

10/10 Exceptional

The staff was so friendly and accommodating! The beaches on both sides of the hotel were lovely. Really enjoyed the dune walk across the street and taking the complimentary bikes on the bike path. Fantastic food, bountiful included breakfast, interesting architecture (former 17th century fortress), helpful concierge, gorgeous views. Highly recommend this property!

It's a perfect place for a quiet get away by the ocean and you're a short taxi ride from downtown Cascais and only about 30 mins from Lisboa. I like to spend the days in the city but a quiet oasis to come home to is really nice.
