O Pioneiro do Mondego

Absolutely loved staying here. Everyone we encountered was very nice and helpful. It is the perfect spot if you want to spend some time in Lisbon but don’t want to be around the hectic night life. The resort is super clean and parking is everywhere. The only thing is the smell of the air freshener they use on the hallways. It is very strong and really doesn’t smell good.

Absolutely beautiful property and grounds a short 10 min drive from the downtown Cascais and excellent restaurants. We loved our spacious premium room overlooking the ocean. The bathroom was very large and luxurious. The carpet, which was old and stained, was the only major negative but apparently other rooms have new flooring. A room this calibre deserved cotton sheets, not poly, but we got by. The balcony was very large with two loungers and a table with two chairs, and with a stunning view of the ocean. The patio doors were new and easy to use. Breakfast was included and surpassed my expectations with traditional eggs, bacon as well as meats, cheeses, breads, pastries, cereals, yogurt, fruit (the best oranges!), champagne and juices and cappuccino. Lunch was not included but we ordered a club sandwich and it was delicious. We used the indoor and outdoor pools, steam and sauna, bucket shower and loved them all. But one of the nicest things about this hotel was the top notch staff. They were very professional, informative and welcoming. I would recommend this hotel without hesitation.

It is a small boutique hotel with everything fun, elegant and interesting! Very quiet in off season, my room was floor to ceiling glass that opened to a wonderful deck the street activities below but not loud. I wish I could stay here longer, much longer!!
