Monte do Tojal Holidays

The staff was very accommodating and helpful. But the check in time was a little late in the day and the check out time is a little too early in the day. The manager was lovely.

Right from the start the hotel staff make you feel special. The hotel is very grand but feels welcoming. The pool area is lovely and there is nice bar for the evenings. Breakfast is very good with Plenty of choice for fresh fruit and yoghurt, continental, hot breakfast, sweet options as well as vegan and allergy friendly choices. The rooms are nicely appointed with Molton Brown toiletries and plenty of storage. We keep returning and the standards are consistently high. The location is ideal for exploring as there is a train station a 5 minute walk away to visit Lisbon and a promenade to the next town along - Cascais which is well worth a visit, alongside the many beaches. Buses will also get you to Sintra/guincho. The hotel will obviously book taxis if you prefer.

I will dream about this hotel and the two nights we stayed in this former palace. The restorations that maintain the original character and the culture are just stunning. I felt like I was walking through the 1870 duke's palace- but with all the thoughtfulness of today. The pool and pool deck - as you see in the photos- are incredible. The location is a short 2-3 minute walk to the shops, restaurants and beach. We can easily see why so many people are moving to Portugal. We will be back - to this hotel- and to Cascais. I didn't even tell you about the welcome drink, a beautiful port, in our room or the included breakfast on the terrace! All phenomenal.

The staff where very friendly and helpful. We stayed in the Divers room and it needs a lot of up keeping definitely not as it looked in the pictures. Location was great near everything.
