The town of Cascais huddles around a graceful bay, ringed with palacios and townhouses. Downtown welcomes with elegant shopping streets, esplanades and a vista of fishing boats and yachts afloat on the sea.
The charm of the old part of town with its small houses, narrow alleys and cobbled streets is a reminder of a past age. In the centre of the old town, next to the marina, is Farol Design Hotel - a daring architectural project. A remodeled 19th-century mansion, formerly owned by the Count of Cabral, has been carefully combined with a contemporary interior.
The result is a harmonious bridge in time. The Estoril Coast, on which Farol is situated, enjoys a privileged climate. Its fine sandy beaches dot the shore, and lush countryside climbs uphill towards the Sintra mountains.
Fine brasserie dining and a saltwater pool allow guests at the Farol Design Hotel to live the local al fresco life such a landscape offers. Relaxed, surrounded by the Atlantic breeze, one can practically touch the sea.
Location:
Farol Design Hotel is located 5 minutes from the central rail station and Cascais Downtown, 23 km from Lisbon International Airport, 20-minute drive from central Lisbon.
