The beds were very comfortable, the location was great, close to restaurants and very walkable. What I didn’t like is the breakfast bar in the morning was the worst I’ve had, the coffee machine is absolutely terrible. You could not even come up to the small lobby upstairs in the morning or even come up until 8 AM. The girls in the front desk were great. The two boys were rude and unhelpful. Overall, I would not choose this hotel again.

Diego and Laura at the front were very helpful and friendly. Our room was spacious with high ceilings and we had a lovely walk out baloney which was very nice. We walked out to their pretty garden in the back with a pool and it was beautiful. Breakfast was amazing and plenty would recommend this stay. We had an enjoyable stay.

Great stay

We had a really comfortable stay. This was our 2nd stay and it has changed a little bit and we miss some of the previous touches like fresh coffee, eggs to order and free bicycle hire. But we still had an amazing stay

The villa is in a quieter are of Cascais but only 10 minutes walk into the town, 15 to the beach. We had a garden room that led directly to the garden from small patio doors, the garden was well kept and we used the small pool which wasn’t busy but would be one for cooling off rather than swimming if busy. Our room was spacious the only down side was the small number of plugs but it is an older property so probably understandable. Breakfast was quite good there are a few extras such as charges for omelettes. A good bar area and 24 hour manned reception. We enjoyed our stay here.

The villa is super pretty but I booked this place because it says that it has air conditioning. When we arrive we were never told that the air conditioner wasn’t working. I paid so much money! I complained many times and they were not helpful. They said that they aren’t the managers of the villa so they can’t help us. There was another family staying there and I asked them if the air worked in their room and they said that they have been there for 4 days with zero air and they have 4 days to go. It was sooooo hot! And the breakfast was not great. Beautiful pool and outside area.
