We really enjoyed our stay at this hotel. Since the hotel is only about two years old, everything looks new and is in great shape. The lobby and common areas are a little surprising because they are close to being over the top with ample use of marble and a bold color scheme that includes lots of black and gold.... more

We stayed at Villa Italia for an inspection trip for a conference that will take place in October. Thanks to an upgrade we had a great room with terrace and sea-view but we saw all different rooms and they are all pleasant and spacious. Service is great; friendly and polite. Spa very relaxing and the outside pool with seawater is... more

Like all the other reviewers we have to say the that hotel and staff were really fantastic. We booked a family holiday - 8 nights- with our 5 month old son. A major factor determining our booking was the fantastic looking spa and 'indoor heated salt water pool' in the adverts. We quickly found out that to gain ANY access... more

We have been visiting Cascais for 30 years and remember when King Umberto of italy was still living in this house which has been massively re-developed into a luxury hotel, so it was a real treat for us to be staying there. We had a back-facing deluxe room with a balcany (make sure you request one as not all rooms... more

It's not often that you find a resort where the conference facilities and the bedrooms are both excellent. This place is a gem. Although it's a new place, and you can tell they are finding their feet a little in terms of service, the attention to getting things right is ever present. The decor is stylish but comfortable. It's a... more

Intrigued by the promise of a superior 5 star hotel in Portugal, my wife and I stayed four nights at the Grande Real Villa Italia Hotel and Spa from September 30 to October 4, 2008. We were not disappointed! If you are wondering, as we were, why a hotel in Cascais, Portugal would have the name Grande Real Villa Italia... more

I think this was the best hotel and resort we have stayed in. It left nothing to be desired (other than another couple of weeks stay!). We stayed in a Junior Suite which had a separate living room and bedroom. It was huge for a junior suite. There were two huge flat screen tvs, one in the living room and... more

My husband and I had a week in the Villa Italia at the beginning of August which was absolutely wonderful . It is among the best hotels we have ever stayed in, we did not want to leave and will most certainly return . From the moment we arrived at the hotel we were impressed by the welcome and friendliness... more

We have just returned from a week at the Villa Italia; the website promised much and yet reality exceeded our expectations. The hotel itself is beautiful; a villa (and as the name suggests) in the Italian style overlooking the sea on the outskirts of Cascais; it’s an impressive sight as the car delivers you to the marble and glass lobby,... more
