Set on the absolute waterfront of Cascais’s dramatic Atlantic coastline, Farol Hotel reflects the unique charm of the township. Delightful old-world houses and cobbled streets frame a graceful bay on Portugal’s spectacular Estoril Coast to tell the story of a bygone era. The capital, Lisbon and the international airport are an easy 35-minute drive along excellent roads. A local train also runs between the city and Cascais. Lisbon is served by full service and budget airlines from all the major European hubs, which include Frankfurt, Paris, London and Zurich plus Stockholm, and Moscow. Arrive fuss-free and in style at Lisbon International Airport with a pre-arranged Farol Hotel limousine to meet you and transfer the short scenic trip to Cascais. As a proud member of prestigious Design Hotels, Farol Hotel is a wonderfully eclectic composition of adventurous architecture that embraces a remodeled 19th century private mansion that was once owned by the Count of Cabral, together with unique contemporary additions. The result is an inspire union of the old and the new. The Farol Hotel has a non-smoking policy in all its areas.

This was a last minute change because of not being able to travel to Lake Garda for a birthday weekend. What a result! Stunning in every way from the room, food, service and location. This really is an 'escape' venue, close enough to Lisbon, but far enough way to be peaceful and special. If you like falling asleep to the sounds of waves crashing onto rocks outside of your room - there would be very few better places in the world. Stunning. Thanks Ana Maria and the team - and our #1 waiter in the restaurant. You were amazing and you know who you are!

My only complaint about the hotel is the 'atmospheric' lighting. My husband found it difficult to shave in the low lighting in the bathroom. I was disappointed not to be able to appreciate the visual aspect of the degustation menu in the fine dining restaurant as the lighting is so low. I had to use the torch on my phone to read the menu! I have one complaint about the food at both breakfast and dinner, the hot food was cold. We were served lukewarm soup and fish, cold duck which I sent back, cold scrambled eggs and bacon at breakfast. Such good quality food deserves better treatment. Such a shame. But none of this spoilt the fantastic decor, ambiance, service and location of this really top notch hotel.

My wife and I stayed at the Farol for a couple of days during our trip to Portugal. We decided to stay on the outskirts of Lisbon and the Farol is about 20 minutes out right on the Atlantic in Cascais. The hotel is boutiquey, small and intimate with great art and design throughout the hotel. Most of the rooms have been recently updated as was ours. Our room was beautiful and had an incredible view of the ocean and especially the sunset. The staff were all very nice and accommodating especially Monica at reception. They have two restaurants, The Mix and Sushi Design, both are excellent options. They also have a great bar and pool area. The location was perfect for us. It is close to attractions like Sintra and the town of Cascais is very picturesque and Lisbon is only a short drive. I would visit this property again

Hello Do all Seaview rooms have useable balconies please? Many thanks
No they don't all have usable balconies, some of them are 'Juliette balcony', ring the hotel to ensure you have one of the room above the pool with the balconies that have table and chairs. They are the best.

Best way to get around is by renting a car with GPS if you planing to visit Lisbon. I would not use the train; is my advice. Good luck
