We were not disappointed with our 8 night stay at the Pica Pau. Room kept spotlessly clean as was the swimming pool. Ideal location for train station 7-10 mins walk and beach 5 mins. Leisurely 20 min walk to Cascais along the promenade. With advice from Pedro and Susan we took local buses to Sintra without any problem. Fares very... more

After reading all the great reviews for Pica Pau we booked a 3 nights stay. Upon arrival we were greeted very friendly. However, the room (316) was quite drab. The mattress was really lumpy and sagged in the middle - impossible to sleep well. Furthermore the old cupboard smelled musty and just about everything was very outdated and seemd very... more

Just back from a couple of nights at the Pensao Pica Pau. While by no means a luxury hotel, it was very comfortable and close to a nice beach (about 5-10 mins walk). Cascais - more lively than Estoril - is about a 20-30 minute walk along the beach. The hotel has a well-kept pool (unheated) and jacuzzi, surrounded by... more

Found this hotel via tripadvisor and was not disappointed. Pica Pau is a great hotel, we recently stayed there as a group of six friends in four rooms and we were given a whole wing to ourselves. Rooms are fine, nice tiles, no airconditioning but lovely big windows and balconies. Fantastic pool area and very reasonably priced restaurant. The salmon... more

We reserved a room at the Pica Pau for three days, but after spending one night there, we extended our stay for one more night.

Keep this hotel under your hat! Everything about the Hotel is superb, the staff,location,food,pool etc. etc.I don't want too many people to go, or else, there will be no vacancies when I want to go. more

Have just returned from a 12 night stay at the Pica Pau , family of 4 with 2 teenage daughters and we had a wonderful time at this little gem of a hotel. Right from the initial enquiry, the service provided is exceptional, friendly, helpful and nothing too much trouble. A taxi was arranged by the hotel to meet us... more

I travel quite a lot with my family and have stayed at a vatiety of different Hotel categories. I recommend Pica Pau for its central location and value for money. Two minutes walk from the beach which is very pleasant when you've got small children. The pool is also great, clean and enough room for eveyone. We had a great... more
