Cascais Villas

We stayed here for 4 nights and loved every second of it. This hotel was like something out of a Bond film. Every room in the hotel is unique with its own character. We had a room with a sea view (which I highly recommend reserving). The rooms were all charming, large with comfortable beds and amazing views off the (mostly) private patios. The pool was super clean and a nice area to spend time with a drink from the bar. Breakfast every morning was bountiful with fresh pastries, fruits, eggs, juices and coffee. The views from around the restaurant and pool area are the best in Cascais. Walk out the door and you are steps away from the town and some great shops, restaurants and bars. The train stop is also steps away if you want an easy way into Lisbon. We cannot wait to return!

Everything about this hotel was exceptional. The room was wonderful, Deluxe room with Sea view. Clean and lots of extra treats, cakes and chocolates daily and mini bar stocked with non alcoholic drinks. The staff here are exceptional, friendly providing a first class service. The Evening meal in the restaurant was gourmet food at its best and the staff were very knowledgeable about the wines. The buffet breakfast was fantastic, plenty of choice. The hotel itself was beautiful, the location great, the parking was easy. The spa facilities were truly wonderful. I would definitely recommend this hotel. They have the right balance of providing luxury whilst being family friendly.

My wife and I stayed here recently on a golf tuition break, and loved it. It’s a beautiful hotel, and feels very luxurious and new. Our room was very nice — spacious, with a huge bed and sparkling bathroom (great shower!). We were lucky enough to have a view of the golf course, principally the second hole, and I spent a lot of time watching people tee off from the balcony. We weren’t on an all-inclusive rate, but still enjoyed plenty of food choices. The lower ground floor is essentially divided into three separate spaces — there’s the Rocca restaurant, for fine dining in the evening; Five Palms for the fairly substantial buffet breakfast; and our favourite, Trent Jones, which does excellent burgers, pasta and snacks. This is where we spent a lot of our time, particularly after realising that they were showing the English Premier League games! The staff were excellent — very courteous, knowledgeable and friendly. At one point they even let us have the remote control to choose our own games! We also spent quite a bit of time basking in the sun by the lovely outdoor pool. There’s also an indoor pool, which is heated (the outdoor pool is not, although you soon get used to it after a brisk dunk). But our main goal was to try to improve our golf game, and it’s here where Quinta da Marinha truly excels: Artur, the golf pro who gave us lessons, was wonderful and has really given us a solid basis, essentially teaching us the art of the golf swing from scratch. We really enjoyed the driving range, and I even got to play a couple of rounds on the wonderful 18-hole course. The 13th hole, with an incredible view of the Atlantic, is a must see! We loved it, and can’t wait to return to either this or the Boutique Hotel, where we also stayed for a few days. I’ll write a separate review for that — we had a golf course view there too! Highly recommended!

A very special place to stay; combination luxury hotel, art gallery, historical fort. It was a special treat to drive in through the front gate of a fortress to arrive at the door to this hotel. (Although it was confusing that the signage indicated ”Pousada” rather than ”Pestana” which made us wonder if we were at the right place. Staff was excellent; room was beautiful; breakfast was delicious; amenities were perfect. All in all, I would recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Cascais, especially if they are visiting for the first time. It's a short walk to the centre of town and the wide variety of restaurants, shops and beaches. How often does one get to stay in such a unique setting!!

It was a complete pleasure to stay st this wonderful hotel for many reasons. It’s location is simply fantastic within walking distance to everything. The rooms overlooking the beach are stunning. Rooms are spotless with excellent house keeping. Breakfast is a feast. I cannot recommend this hotel highly enough. The cherry on the cake is it’s great value for money. Thank you Hotel Baia I will definitely be back. Christina Gernon.

The thing about ”boutique” hotels is they often have limited rooms with little consistancy between them. Often the hotel is a former mansion or castle that has been converted to create the accomodations. The rooms featured on the website often look amazing but many of the rooms are often former butler's pantries or attic rooms the crazy aunt lived in with alll her cats so you have to be careful when booking. This place has some of that. Had we ended up in a former little closet room in the corner, we would not have been happy here. Fortunately we had booked the designer room with a balcony facing the ocean (210) which was fantastic to enjoy the ocean views. We moved the long bench from in front of the bed onto the balcony during the day to use as a sun lounger. Room was smaller but had tall ceilings and nicely remodeled. Comfy bed and nice bathroom with shower with all kinds of water options plus toilets had heated bidet hose. It is important to know that the pool area is seasonal due to the close proximity to the ocean and doesnt open until mid-April. During much of year it is closed as the North Atlantic waves thrash over the pool area filling it with dirty sea water. The hotel should state this on their homepage to avoid guests feeling a bit misled. I attached some pictures showing the pool area we had without any lounges and water looking like a sewer discharge. The weather we had was sunny and hot yet couldn't use the pool so felt frustrated. I'm a daily lap swimmer so had been hoping to use the pool in the mornings for my swims. The view of the ocean with the crashing waves against the rocks made the stay very relaxing. Also it is a nice short walk to town with wonderful views along the way. Additionally it is a beautiful walk or run to the west along the rock cliffs by the ocean. Truly magical location. The hotel itself was lovely and ecclectic with fun art throughout. Hotel staff was very nice and the included a quality breakfast buffet was tasty and plentiful. We had to leave in the middle of the night for a very early flight out. The manager had take away lunches for us which was a nice touch. We booked the hotel in part because it was part of the AMEX Platinum Hotel collection which comes with some additional benefits if you have the card. We had been to Lisbon many times but so glad we discovered Cascais this time. Certainly will be back.
