Would definatly return to pestana cidadela cascais. Staff friendly and helpful from the moment we arrived in the early hours of the morning was lovely in terms of the contienantal breakfast, and there was scrambled egg and bacon every day also. Room was beautiful and housekeeping did a great job of keeping it clean. No kettle but when asked at reception someone brought one up within 10 minutes. On the doorstep of the town of Cascais, only a 15 minute stroll from Cascais station where you can get a return into Lisbon city centre for ???5. Cascais is a beautiful town perfect for people who want a relaxing beach holiday with the option to spend some time in the city. Would definately recommend everyone looking at visiting Cascais to stay at pestana cidadela. Staff on reception went out of their way to help me re-arrange my transfer that I had made a mistake booking! Fantastic stay overall and will definitely be returning.
