Magical Chalet in the Cascais center feels like you stepped back in time. We stayed in the prime room with the best view on the pool and the garden. Old city center is 5 minutes walk museums block away Marina 5 min walk. The best place to stay in Cascais!!! The family who owns the place are the sweetest people!!!!

So many things are noteworthy, if not unique, to Chalet Ficalho... The garden, with its beautiful centenary trees, the family history, the wines, the breakfast cakes, the friendly staff, the cracker-loving dog... and, of course, the owners! It is very conveniently located, just an easy walk to the bustling center of Cascais, with its plethora of restaurants, and an almost as easy (except for the blazing sun!) walk to some of the famous attractions like Boca do Inferno and the lighthouse further along the coast (one of several, by the way).

I had a fantastic experience. The place is beautiful, interesting, clean, relaxing and in a great location. It is walking distance to the main town, marina and nearby park. As well as being a short taxi to the 3 golf clubs I played at. The hosts were incredibly nice and helpful.

Charming and historic building - the family home of the proprietor, dating back to late 1800s. Was a serene stay set back from the main square in Cascais, and perfect launchpad for us to get to Sintra and explore. Beautiful surroundings and lovely terrace area for breakfast. We stayed for two nights and staff were really solicitous. The hotel was newly open, so a few things would make the stay truly exceptional - hairdryers in rooms and the wifi code available upon check-in, for instance. The owners have dogs which adds to the family feel; they seemed available throughout our stay and were friendly and warm, going out of their way to meet the needs of guests when there was no decaf coffee at breakfast, for instance. Really well situated after a frenetic few days in Lisbon!
