Villa Cascais Boutique Hotel

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Villa Cascais. The sea view room (8) protruding the front vista onto the beach was serene & idyllic. Thoroughly recommend sea view rooms. The room itself was spacious & tastefully decorated in a grass green that worked well against the sea & sand view. With three large windows there was plenty of light, and perfectly sized shutters to welcome sleep. The room had a safe, coffee machine, hairdryer and basket with beach towels. We were clearly told that tea bags & nespresso coffee pods would not be replaced and if we asked for replacements, they would be charged. There was literally one English breakfast tea bag and enough coffee pods for 2 coffees each. I’ve never experienced this from a hotel of this calibre & let it down. We bought our own pods for ease through our stay. Whilst there was a kettle, it was stored on a tray in a cupboard with no designated power point to plug it into. We had to rearrange the room just to plug it in. In general there were not enough power points in useful places in the room. The bathroom was beautiful with a powerful shower, tubes, slippers, magnifying mirror and c weighing scale. Storage was sufficient with hanging and drawers. There was a smart TV too., there was no iron but a steamer was promptly delivered on request. Dialogue with reception is via WhatsApp which was efficient. They could get rid of the phone on the bedside, which was small to create more space perhaps. There is a back door with code for access post midnight. Great as the back exit takes you closer to the beach. We pre booked sun loungers which was great & took us to Emma beach club. Breakfast was plentiful & delicious, eggs, bacon, bread, fruit & pastries. Staff are attentive and super helpful, kind & attentive. Location is incredible!!

Most beautifully decorated hotel with so many fantastic design features, including a quirky tiny lift. The set up with restaurant taking center stage is unusual and it felt like a restaurant that rented rooms at times. When trying to get a drink at the bar, it felt like you were encroaching on the restaurant guests and not very inclusive. The breakfast was average and serving area was a little cramped however the view was incredible. Our superior room was good enough,but had limited hanging space for clothes and the fridge was noisy and notable when trying to sleep. The staff were very nice and well meaning, but at times seemed unsure about our queries around the use of the bar and local tours. Overall with such a fantastic location they have maybe relied on this to the detriment of not offering a full hotel experience. eg No room service!

Fantastic Hotel Fantastic location. Excellent breakfast. Very clean.
