Originally booked for Villa Cascais but due to a plumbing prob week before our check in, they booked us with their sister hotel Albatroz. They were very kind to find us accommodations. Some hotels, I am Sure, might not do this. We had a deluxe sea view suite. They booked us in the Palace room across the street. They did offer a room in the building right next to main hotel, which we decided the Palace might be quieter. PROS: Palace room and building were beautiful. Great A/C. Beautiful view of the beach. Had private building concierge. Fantastic deck and I think we may have been only ones in building!!! All the staff, from the front desk to the restaurant, were wonderful. Close to everything in Cascais. Breakfast was fantastic. DRAWBACKS: (dont like the word CONS). The Palace was right next to train station so could hear the announcer frequently. As well as the early morning street sweepers, etc. I am an early riser,but others may not be. It was very warm during our visit and we enjoyed people watching on the beach. But on our 2nd night, a group of people decided to have a party around midnight to 2 - 3 a.m. outside our window. Even when we closed the windows, it was loud. I am sure this does not happen all the time. I would definitely stay here again, but would not choose the Palace building because of my lists. And even with the noise, we survived since we were in Portugal!!!! I know there are other choices along the beach area, but we walked it and this place is truly the best.

Firstly - the most stunning vintage hotel I have stayed at ! My recent stay in the hotel's bridal suite was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment I entered the room, I was awestruck by its luxurious and romantic ambiance. The suite is beautifully decorated, with elegant furnishings and a breathtaking ocean views. We also had three rooms for my family who also loved their experience thoroughly. Specially the breakfast overlooking the ocean was a morning delight. The service from the staff was nothing short of delightful from helping us with taxis and Ubers to room service - all and all great. The hotel's location allowed for privacy while still being conveniently situated for our wedding venue that is Forte da Cruz. Staying in the bridal suite was a dream come true, and it truly set the stage for a perfect wedding. I can't recommend this hotel's bridal suite enough for a romantic and memorable experience. We also had a large family dinner with 12 people. Though the food was delicious, I would make a small point of improvement that the service was perhaps a little slow, specially when there were two younger kids. All said and done, an excellent experience filled with breathtaking views, excellent service nestled in the lap of luxury. Cannot wait to come back again to Estoril Vintage !

Spacious, well equipped link villas on secure site. It has a lovely bakery with fresh breads and delicious cakes and pastries with a small outside seating area to enjoy them with a cup of coffee. A small supermarket and a laundry are also on site. Lovely pool and plenty of sun loungers. An added bonus is that the villa comes with hotel service, i.e. it gets a daily clean and toiletries are provided. Will definitely stay again if visiting this area.

It was our 3rd stay in The Oitavos and, as usual, we were very satisfied. The hotel has a very special style and we can understand, that not everyone like it but if you like it, you take it and if you don’t like it, you leave it. Each comment on Trip Advisor reflect the subjective opinion of the guest. Negative comments are OK, as long as they are fair. This is not always the case. We feel obliged to give our own opinion in order to relativize some notes we find unfair. Sofie Hildebrandt July 2022: “After having stayed at this hotel every summer for 20 years”, This is not true, because the hotel opened in 2010. Further “the greens are in desperate need of maintenance” maybe in July 2022 but in August 2023 the greens were in a very good stay and very fast. Craig S, July 2023: ” On arrival no one arrived to greet us. We waited for a porter with our bags in the parking area and had to summon attention when the staff were not attending to any guests”. Maybe a special situation; our experience: A porter came immediately on arrival, took our suitcases and golf bags and brought them directly to our room. The lady at the reception was very friendly. SS, July 2023: The all comment is totally unfair. Just an example “the room has strange tvs placed literally like a heartbeat monitor screen in an ER room (not a joke, it’s just truly that odd)”. The TV he mentioned is the small TV near the bed. The room has a bigger screen and “balconies do not face the sea”. Each hotel has different categories of rooms. Our room faced the sea and the view was superb.

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.

Zeer gastvrij personeel die begrijpen wat luxe is. Mooi ingerichte kamers met prachtig uitzicht. Fijne Spa. Goede faciliteiten voor eten en drinken. Mooie ligging en een uitstekende locatie voor een verblijf in alle seizoenen. Dank voor de gastvrijheid!

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 is a very good hotel ~ the atmosphere is very good ~ the hotel with historical heritage is fascinating ~ The room is spacious and comfortable It is a hotel worth visiting again~
