Estoril Vintage Hotel

Amazing cosy hotel in estoril! We went there because we had heard about it and the full experience was top (from welcoming to checkout) We had selected the romantic option and have been upgraded to an amazing sea view suite. The breakfast is specifically tasty (specially the croissants)

After spending a week walking the Camino de Santiago pilgrimage, my husband and I sought out a beautiful boutique hotel for some R & R in Portugal. Estoril Vintage Hotel was the perfect choice. The mansion is spectacular with no detail overlooked. The decor was amazing and museum quality. The hotel is spotlessly clean. Our room was perfectly appointed with a very comfortable bed, in-room coffee, nighttime turndown service, and even chocolates waiting on the pillows each evening. The staff was attentive and met every need without question - starting with Jorge when we checked in, the concierge team, and all the way through the wait staff and maid service. The views are spectacular. We had to pinch ourselves each day to make sure this was real. How nice it was for Maria, the owner, to stop by and greet each of the guests individually while we had breakfast on the terrace each day - a lovely, personal touch. I cannot recommend this hotel enough for those looking for a unique and pampering experience in the Estoril/Cascais area. We walked to Cascais almost every day of our 6-day stay; only a short 10-15 minute walk. The beach is right there and many shops, restaurants, and places nearby to grab a souvenir, a sangria or Vinho Verde. This was a good location to catch a train into Lisbon (5 minute walk to the Monte Estoril train station) and we also spent a day in Sintra. The hotel is far enough away from the noisy downtown for tranquility, but close enough to the action when you want it. This place was amazing.

Absolutely fantastic - impossible to find fault with this amazing hotel. This is the way it should be! What differentiates the hotel from others is the personal service from all the staff. I won’t name names because the whole team were excellent. We booked very last minute having been let down by another hotel in Lisbon. The room was ready and everything was immaculate on our arrival. Location is also great - a brisk 15 minute walk from the centre of Cascais.

This is a difficult review to write. There is so much to like between the beautiful old building, sea views, great food (especially breakfast), and some of the best service I have received. However all of this is let down by some of the rooms. Namely the two in the basement with garden access. While otherwise nice, they both feature a half glass wall to the hallway. This odd design choice lets in light to the basement, but also acts as a very poor sound insulator. This means sounds coming into the room (staff moving downstairs) but also sound out of the room. For the self conscious, it’s not an ideal solution. Its definitely a 5 star experience upstairs, and with some redesign, also the basement would live up to rest of the potential.

Amazing, amazing, amazing. Simply stunning venue, food, service and ambience. You are treated like one of the family with genuine love and welcoming. It was our second visit and will definitely not be our last. A must do if you are looking for an equisite, quiet hotel in the Lisbon area.
