Everyone we encountered in Portugal was very friendly and that's not an exaggeration. Susan was extremely helpful in every aspect. I traveled with a group of greater than 15 and she knew each of our names by heart by about the second day. Her recommendations around the area were spot on. No pricey tours, just public transportation and great locations.... more

Great little B&B with a lovely pool area. It is close to the Casino at Estoril (about a 5/10 minute walk), but we much preferred Cascais which was about a 25/30 minute walk.

I travelled with my mum for a long weekend and we stay at the Pica Pau. The hotel was lovely and clean with a great pool and a short walk to the town. The staff were very helpful and friendly and made us very welcome. more

This is a fantastic little hotel. The staff are so friendly and helpful and the owner Susan is great for advice on places to go and how to get there. The location is nice and quiet, the pool area is great, and the restaurant is good value. Cascais which is close is also great for restaurants, and the trip into... more

The food for breakfast and in the hotel restaurant was very good (try the chicken piri piri). The pool was a very good size with plenty of sun lounges. Nothing... more

We were in a lovely light room, 110, with a balcony . The breakfast was very good and we found the staff to be... more
