Pergola Boutique Hotel

My wife and I stayed at The Pergola for eight nights. A beautiful hotel, situated in the centre of Cascais, five minutes from the many beaches,restaurants and shops. The hotel itself is stunning and the gardens and exquisite. The staff were superb and made our stay so enjoyable. If you want to explore Lisbon ,Sinatra, Estroil,Belem and the surrounding area, this is a perfect base.The train station is five minute walk from the hotel. We had one meal in the restaurant at the hotel and it was excellent. When staying, ensure you book in advance for the restaurant, as it is not owned by the hotel and it is extremely popular with both locals and other visitors. Finally, a special mention to Gonçalo and Anas at reception. These two guys were exceptional. Nothing was too much trouble for them and they add so much to this hotel experience. Overall, a five star experience

Wonderful stay at this little boutique hotel. Super friendly staff, very Central location and an Excellent restaurant In the garden. The garden most be the most beautiful In the whole of Cascais. A few minutes to several nice beaches and easy parking In P-houses nearby. Loads of shopping possibilities nearby.

The Pergola is a gorgeous, well-preserved hotel located a tiny bit off the 'beaten track' of Cascais. To be clear, it's not on the beach but is about a two-minute walk from beautiful sand and gentle surf. The concierge could not have been friendlier; using his computer, he showed us places to visit within walking distance and gave us tips about parking, how to get to Estoril ****** (the 'birthplace' of James Bond, you might say), and so on. He also gave us a brief tour and told us about the interesting history of the hotel and grounds. Our room was well-appointed and clean, and I don't know if this is true everywhere in Portugal, but we stayed in 4 hotels, and they all had the most fantastic mattresses! We slept like rocks and awoke to a delicious breakfast in the most beautiful restaurant we visited during our trip. But I'm getting ahead of myself. After touring the town and taking a long walk along the Cascais shores, we had lunch in town and visited a few shops before enjoying dinner at the restaurant. It was our most delicious meal of the trip. The photos won't do it justice -- the food looks too simple -- but that fish was as perfect as you can imagine, and the cheese-wrapped artichokes were a new favorite. The setting was incredible, too, smack-dab in the middle of the garden. There is no parking right outside (or too close to) the hotel, so we parked in a lot next. to the train station. There is free street parking about the same distance from the hotel, but we didn't waste time looking for it -- after our trip to the ******, it was very late!
