I have stayed at Palacio Estoril twice now- first for a one week Slimming programme in March 2018 & the next for 4 days on a beauty booster programme & it is safe to say I will be back!
From being picked up from Lisbon Airport by a chauffeur in a Mercedes to the programme itself everything is thought of by the team.
I stayed in a deluxe room on a higher floor with a balcony & views of the sea towards Cascais.
The staff were all helpful & welcoming & always ensured, as a solo guest I was well looked after.
There is a train station near the hotel which will get you into Lisbon in 20 minutes or Cascais & Sintra in the other direction. You can walk along the promenade within 25 minutes to Cascais which was a tonic for the soul.
The gym although small has everything you need, even for a weightlifter like me! There are numerous fitness classes on offer- I particularly liked the aqua bike classes- basically spinning in a bathtub hot swimming pool.
As part of the programmes I had numerous medical & nutrition consultations, spa treatments, cosmetic treatments & even a cooking lesson- everything had been thought of!
I exclusively ate from the healthy menu & didn???t feel deprived at all! I left both times feeling healthier, energised & much less stressed than before!
I would fully recommend Palacio Estoril if you need to escape the stresses of daily life. I will be back soon!

I am adicted to this wonderful Hotel. It is not like all these big chains, it is very individual and that you notice from the first minute. Okay, I am a returning visitor but to also be welcomed as one is special.
I have 60 years of travel experience on all continents and at Palcio Estoril feel set back in time.
What a lovely welcome with a Port filled decanter
and Portugals lovely cream pastry.
Already now I know, I will be back.
