FORTALEZA DO GUINCHO

Stayed at Fortaleza do guincho it's such a lovely hotel and inmost stunning location with views of the Atlantic we had a superior double room which was large it also had a enclosed balcony with a sea view the staff at the hotel were amazing the service was top notch and all of them were friendly making us feel relaxed I would recommend this as great place to spend a few days thanks for showing us such a great time

Relais & Chateaux is a guarantee by the name. This is a particularly interesting location. Totally isolated on a cliff between two wonderful ocean beaches, the hotel is housed in a XVII coast fort and has all the charme that it needs. Add reasonable pricing, fabulous service, fantastic breakfast in the reastaurant with amazing views. What more is there to want' Michelin star chef for dinners. Not our thing so we went nearby for a more traditional and equally exciting dinner with a view.

A beautiful and elegant hotel built from a old fort overlooking the Atlantic, Fortaleza is a special hotel. Great service, top-rate restaurant, and unbelievable location make for an unforgettable experience. We stayed in one of the junior suites and the room was spacious and beautifully appointed. The hotel itself is beautiful, with an open courtyard that can be covered if necessary. Make sure to have dinner at the restaurant. The food is creative while maintaining tradition and absolutely delicious. The wait service is very attentive but not intrusive. We watched the sun set from our window-facing table while enjoying our pre-fixe meals. By the way, the beaches, both north and south of the hotel, are excellent.

Beautiful hotel and perfect location. The service here is outstanding and the hotel is very, very nice. We only had one night and had not reserved for dining in the restaurant prior to arriving. However, they fit us in for 9:30. Boy were we in for an experience. Since we were too late for the predetermined full course menu we ordered a la carte. But between each course, they served us some amazing and very different appetizers - eel empanadas, barnacle appetizer, fish dip and tartare, and more. It is a very expensive restaurant so be prepared for that...quite an extraordinary experience.

Fortaleza do Guincho is a beautiful 17th century fortress repurposed as a luxury boutique hotel in Guincho, about 15min by car from central Cascais. We arrived midday and went straight to the beach next door. Our room was ready a few hours later. It was large, though filled up by the bed, and beautiful. It also had a small sun room attached that overlooked the water. Note that if you're looking for a modern hotel with amenities such as a spa or pool this is not the place. Service at the hotel was good. It's right next to the beach which is convenient. There are restaurants within walking distance. Breakfast was good but nothing special. It is quite breathtaking the views at night. I'd suggest getting dinner at the fabulous restaurant but boom early. It's really a beautiful hotel.
