Reviewed By Thecatsman

I had the utter pleasure of staying here for ten days, the place is spotless and the service seamless but credit must be given to the most wonderful staff I have ever had the pleasure to deal with, from the minute I entered till the time I left, conscientious, obliging, friendly, efficient, funny etc, I would recommend staying here to anyone. A big thanks to the staff who made all of this possible. Barbara Lopes, Soraia Alves and last but not least, Gisela Silva.

Gaspar House

Gaspar House is in a building from 1951, has high ceilings and the most beautiful Paquet in the world. ;-) It's located in the heart of Lisbon, 4 subway stations away from the touristic center. Subway Station "Areeiro" is right in front of the door. The Airport is only 5 minutes away by taxi or bus. By subway are about 15 min. The train to Sintra is just around the corner. The train to Belem, Estoril and Cascais is at the end of our subway line. Lisbon Guest House neighborhood is very well considered in the City. It is elegant and friendly. A certain touch „bourgeois“. I'd like my guests to get to know Lisbon as if they would be living here. Don't hesitate to ask if you'd like to know where to go, what to see, to eat or drink. For it's a 5 room flat, we ask for some attention and quiteness to not disturbe.

Gorgeous place

Reviewed By Angela G

Spent 3 fantastic nights at Gaspar's house. Beautiful apartment, spotlessly clean, our bedroom was huge with it's own private bathroom. The host Gasper is a lovely person, so kind ,helpful and very knowledgeable about Lisbon and the surrounding areas. Breakfast was delicious and plentiful! All fresh and organic food. Great location, 1 minute walk to the metro to take you into Lisbon centre. Gaspar's house is highly recommended when visiting Lisbon.

Avenue Rooms & Suites

Good value for money

Reviewed By Cosmicmoon7

Clean and tidy rooms, very friendly staff, modern rooms, clean and comfortable toilets and bathrooms. The room was nice, the bed could have been a bit better. All up a good value for money. There's is breakfast for 5 euros but I didn't try it so can't comment.

Hotel de Arganil

My second home in Portugal

Reviewed By Trip95584

Recently purchased a home and some property in Mouronho. Had two multi day stays at the Hotel Arganil in February and April of 2022, while dealing with issues involved in getting the house ready for occupancy. Staff were warm and welcoming. The hotel is spotlessly clean and they make good cocktails for evening fires in the lounge. Breakfast daily with a variety of things to eat. I love staying here and feel like it is a second home when in Portugal. I would recommend this Hotel to everyone.

GS Chiado Boutique Studios & Suites

Great location, but lots of stairs!

Reviewed By Islapacifica

Location and rooms are great, but there is NO elevator and we had to carry our bags up 84 stairs to get to our room. That means every time you go in and out, you are climbing 84 stairs! Needless to say, although I liked the accommodations, I would never stay here again.

They are apartments and townhouses with swimming pool of condominium and a more classic decoration. Units by the Ocean are located next to the North Beach of the Resort, walking distance from the beach, restaurant Maré and the PDR Market (seasonal). They have a modern decor with a classic touch, perfect for an unforgettable family holiday.

A mixture. Golf course on resort has difficult but fair. Resort a bit tired and isolated, few facilities

Reviewed By raymondm74

The course was ok. The resort spread out over a large area. 5-star Marriott hotel on it, but not for us. Accomodation functional but basic, beds, all twins, close together. Resort utterly isolated, miles from shops, supermarkets or towns/villages, so a captive audience. Few facilities for golfers, couldn't get chocolate bars or bottles of drinks, only cans (useless on a golf course). Restaurant staff helpful and friendly and food not bad, but prices very high. (Got a Mars bar there, €3!). Impossible to go to or find local restaurants, as there are none. Unlikely to return, not very golfer-friendly, especially long walk up hill to resort/club house.

Surfers Lodge Peniche

No more a lodge for surfers anymore

Reviewed By MareneC

Until couple of years ago the place was run to accommodate the needs of surfers. The staff was flexible and friendly. The surf school was always open with someone ready to help customers and students, boards and wetsuits tidy. Now is all about the wine and very little attention is dedicated to the clients that are at the lodge to surf. The breakfast time is incompatible with surf classes times, the surfschool is often unattended and the door closed. The wetsuits tank full with used t-shirts and wetsuits. Clients don't have easy access to the equipments and the school is unattended. The quality of the teachers is questionable. I was so in love with this place but I doubt I will return. What a pity.

Loved the spot just facing the ocean and Berlengas, loved the cosy apartment near the pool, nice pool by the way. Very kind staff, especially at breakfast which I truly recommend. And we loved it so much that we hope to be returning in the next couple of weeks.

Quinta da Marinha Guincho

Simply a perfect stay and experience!

Reviewed By arnihallgrimsson

Quinta da Marinha hotel and golf course is an absolute dream destination for golfers and non-golfers. The area offers so many things to do, biking, hiking, horseback riding, surfing, eating and drinking you name it! The beautiful town of Cascais is only 5 minutes away driving. The staff was extremely helpful and big thanks to Manel, Francisco and Joao who made our experience with them perfect, and I look forward to coming back again, again and again, you guys are stuck with me! The hotel has recently been renovated, it’s very clean, stylish and beautiful with a great bar, outdoor area with a pool overseeing the 18th and 10th hole. The restaurant is great, so one area has a very nice dinner buffet, whilst the other area you have to book a table where they serve A la Carte, outstanding restaurant! The golf course does not have a single “boring” hole, the layout is simply fantastic and I enjoyed every shot at the course. The fairways are firm and the greens soft with the Bent grass type, very well groomed and the ball stays perfectly on line while putting. What a stay, looking forward to come back again next fall. Thank you.

Villa Graca - Hostels and Apartments

Apartamento optimo

Reviewed By Ana R

Num imprevisto de última hora optámos por ficar num apartamento e em boa hora o fizemos. O apartamento está equipado com tudo o que é necessário, é confortável e bem localizado. Zona calma com pouco movimento. Nada a apontar em termos de limpeza. O atendimento à chegada foi profissional e atencioso.
