The hotel and amenities are nice. Good breakfast and great service by the staff. Location is also perfect for exploring Cascais or going to the beach.
United States of AmericaThe location was perfect! Close to all the restaurants, shops and the hub of Cascais. However, behind the fort walls, it was super peaceful and quiet. We got a great sleep. Bonus: the beds were super comfortable. The staff was amazing! Super friendly and accomodating.
