Great room with an incredible ceiling... if not close to original, renovated to look so. Fantastic view of the beach from our room. Staff very helpful and friendly. Drinks watching the sunset over the Atlantic one of out trip's highlights. more

We stayed here with the advertised on-line "Romantic Package". This was certainly a splurge for us at 310 Euro (about $400). It included a night at the hotel, 3 course dinner (with drinks) for two, breakfast for two, welcome champagne and chocolates. Oddly, we were not greeted at the door. No one even was there to open the door (which... more

Four of us stayed in this hotel while we were in Cascais for a wedding. It was superb. The staff were very welcoming, the rooms first class & the breakfast excellent. The rooms were a bit dark but that is not unusual in hot countries. We ate in the hotel dining room one evening & we couldn't fault the food... more

Staying at this hotel was like taking a step back in time. You truly feal like you are staying in a Fortress. We had one of the best rooms on the property which faced the ocean. You could practically touch the ocean from our room. Nothing beats sleeping to the sounds of the waves crashing onto the stone. The bathrooms... more

For the first 3 nights of our 2-week stay in Portugal we wanted something really special and we chose this property because it is a member of Relais & Chateaux. We were disappointed. The location on the cliffs over the sea and the architecture of this fortress-turned-hotel cannot be beat, but we found no warmth in the welcome, no help... more

Loved the Fortaleza. Really couldn't fault it. We were upgraded to a room with an indoor balcony and view. Service excellent, very friendly and great advice. Wonderful dinner in the restaurant - similiar to irish prices! All we missed was a pool but made good use of the lounging chairs on the deck overlooking the beach. Is always very windy.... more

From the moment you drive along the Estrada do Guincho and you have your first glimpse of this old renewed fortress standing on the cliffs with Cabo da Roca in the background, you already know that this is the place to be. Away from the noisy Cascais city center, where most of 5 stars hotels are overlooking what is becoming... more

The setting of the hotel is magnificent -- great for watching the waves, the surfers, and the sunsets. We also loved our dinner in the restaurant -- one of us had the "autumn menu" (pate, fresh cod with a delicate "cepes" (mushrooms) sauce, and an amazing chocolate dessert with spicy ice cream)and the other had only a main course (black... more

The setting is dramatic on the cliffs above Guincho beach. The problems are as follows: The rooms are tiny and the bathrooms even smaller. Nothing has been thought through so for example the one thing you need in a small room is a drawer in the bedside table - there isn't one. You are unable to turn out one of... more

Fifteen years had passed since my last trip to Portugal, but one thing I remembered clearly was the stunning Fortaleza do Guincho north of Cascais, a resort town in which I had once considered buying a house. The hotel hadn't been so grand then, and we hadn't stayed there. A little stark and barren, it had been a state owned... more
