The Pergola Boutique Hotel
Showstopper chalet
Up the garden path
The Pergola Boutique Hotel is a stop-and-smell-the-roses stay on a pretty cobbled street in central Cascais. The original, handpainted tilework makes the façade a storied spot for local photographers, but this Edenic retreat still maintains a secret garden feel away from the bustle (not the Atlantic breeze, refreshingly). Inside, you’re greeted by geometric stone floors, art-adorned walls and pattern-rich bedrooms, with a popular Portuguese fusion restaurant taking over the ever-in-bloom terrace.
Planes
Lisbon’s Humberto Delgado Airport is 30 minutes by car from the hotel, with transfers available on request, for an additional charge.
Trains
Cascais station is barely two minutes’ walk from the hotel, with daily connections to Lisbon departing every 20 minutes.
Automobiles
There’s little need for a set of wheels given the lack of parking at the hotel, and Cascais isn’t the most car-friendly town. If you decide to drive from Lisbon, take the scenic route along the N6 coastal road and take your pick of beach stop-offs.
Worth Getting Out of Bed For
Slip into the locals’ unhurried pace along Cascais’ beach-strewn coastline, with over 15 sandy spots offering something slightly different from the next. Praia da Rainha and Praia da Ribeira are the closest to The Pergola Boutique Hotel, but it’s worth venturing to the remote Praia da Ursa (only accessible on foot, if you’re up for a windswept hike over rugged cliffs). The big-swell stretch between Estoril and Carcavelos draws a surfing crowd, and the calmer waters around Baia are best for paddleboarding and wild swimming. The coastal path from Cascais to Guincho is scenic biking and jogging territory, and the countryside just north of the fishing town is home to Europe’s westernmost vineyards for a wine tasting (or two).
The tram-trundled streets of Lisbon and turret-topped mountains of Sintra are within easy day-trip distance, including the must-visit majestic Monserrate and Romanticist castle, Pena. Back in Cascais, set aside some time to wander around the Museum Quarter. There are nine cultural sights and villas to visit, with exhibitions spotlighting the region’s maritime, royal and artistic heritage – the first of which is, rather fittingly, displayed in the blue-and-white-striped Santa Marta Lighthouse.
