Alcobaça Monastery

Relaxing stay at Quinta da Bicuda, it's located in the quiet affluent suburbs of Cascais. Although we didn't have a car we got around by making lots of use of the bi-cycles provided to visitors, large undeveloped Guincho beach is about 20 mins cycle ride along mostly dedicated cycle tracks which was great and the town beaches are also easily cycled to along the coastal track. We also made regular use of the masses of Uber drivers that service the town making getting in and out for an evening meal easy and pretty cheap for 4. The pool looks like something used in a zoo animal enclosure and is not your typical holiday apartment pool, but for us it was great to cool off in and was usually quiet so we got good stints of use to ourselves. The grounds around the villas are lovely and green with lots of shade provided by the mature trees and with plenty of sun beds to lounge on. The stables are located just behind the villas so there's always some horses trotting about, which also seemed to increase the number of flys buzzing around although this was a minor irritation. The staff are really good, very helpful with any queries or issues especially Jasmine and Ines who were just great 10/10 for customer service. If your looking for a quiet relaxing base, in low density accommodation on the edge of Cascais not far from the beach this is your place!

Our stay at the hotel was absolutely wonderful from start to finish. The service was exceptional, and the staff truly made us feel welcome throughout our visit. A special thank you to Sonia, whose warmth and attentiveness made our trip especially enjoyable — her care and professionalism really stood out. The bedrooms were spotless, beautifully maintained, and incredibly comfortable. The bedding was fresh and luxurious, ensuring a perfect night’s sleep, while the overall ambiance of the hotel created a calm and relaxing atmosphere. One of the highlights each morning was the delightful breakfast served in the sunroom overlooking the garden. Enjoying delicious food surrounded by natural light and peaceful greenery was the perfect way to begin the day. We would highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for comfort, excellent service, and a truly memorable stay. We look forward to returning!
