    Small outdoor pool. The pool bar was closed, so I ordered drinks to the pool over the phone and the hotel charged room service. Room was not cleaned each day of our stay, despite repeatedly asking for house keeping to service the room.

    Fantastic location, only 5 mins walk to the marina and old town centre of Cascais. Beautifully converted castle hotel, the views at breakfast on the terrace are fabulous.

    The location of the hotel close to the town centre and the marina and the setting in the Arts district made the stay there absolutely perfect.

    at this price it was possible to make other reservations in the area, but convinced us 5 stars. we got probably the smallest room in part of the courtyard. stay for longer than two nights would not come into play. tight. going to the spa in bathrobes we were an attraction because you have to go through the square where there are sculptures and there is an art gallery. we were awkward. swimming pool and saunas on plus, but not enough sun loungers for cancer large hotel. And the sound of the filters, the noise in the pool.

    view of Marina and tasty breakfast. large selection of vegetables, fruits and cheeses

    Perfect location, beautiful design, art around. Very comfortable big room with nice sitting area, tasty breakfast with the marina view. If you live outside the main building, you need to walk for breakfast and swimming pool. Be aware of possible steep stairs to rooms outside the main building.

    This hotel is literally within the fortress walls. It was in a perfect location for us, close to town but also close to the park and a beautiful walk up the coast. It was generally very quiet with the sound buffered by the fortress walls. We loved the breakfast buffet, filling up every day so we had no need for lunch. I appreciated that we were shown the short cut to the marina, exiting through the wall in the lower level. The swimming pool was lovely
