A highlight of the stay was the staff. We found the staff very welcoming and helpful from check in to suggestions on places to see during our stay to help with restaurants reservations to breakfast. They are a credit to the hotel and Cascais.

Pestana Cascais Stay
Very enjoyable stay. The hotel is ideally located in Cascais with beaches, major attractions and restaurants within 15-20 minute walk. Hotel design is quite unique given it’s in the old castle. Breakfast good with great views over the marina (watch for seagulls wanting your food though!) As other reviewers have noted, the corridors are long and some of rooms have steps leading to them - not an issue for me, but could be for those with any mobility considerations. Overall recommend this hotel.
