Hotel Fortaleza do Guincho Relais & Châteaux

This was an amazing place to stay. Located on a cliff between 2 beaches and views of them from the hotel rooms made it for me. The service from check in to check out was done with the utmost professionalism. Dinner, dessert, and drinks from the “Spot” restaurant and bar were fun and delicious. I had a full taste experience dinner in the Michelin rated restaurant the was beyond anything I had ever experienced in a restaurant. The servers were exceptional in explaining everything to me and presenting the dishes. The Pairings were perfect. 2 hours of a Devine dining experience in a wonderful location. And the included breakfast in the mornings was incredibly comprehensive.

What a wonderful hotel, from checking in to checking out a wonderful experience. A beautiful hotel sitting right on the beach, overlooking the beach and rock cliffs. The staff was fantastic. Alexandre helped us in many ways, very kind and a nice human. Our room was superb. Overlooked the ocean, had a huge terrace, and balcony. Bed was very comfortable. Breakfast was wonderful. No complaints. The minibar was complimentary, as well as a bottle of port and little extra goodies too.

Last minute booking via Booking.com and the last room available of the total of only 27 rooms. An amazing hotel. It is, as the name implies, a former fortress and it sits on a promontory with a beach on each side. It has been sympathetically converted, and furnished appropriately for its history and setting. The standard bedrooms are a little small but, constrained as they are by the original architecture, it is hardly noticeable. The public areas, lounges and restaurants, are large and again beautifully furnished. The food is excellent as befits a Michelin Star restaurant. The icing on the cake is, however, the team of staff, they are the real star attraction; every single one of them was friendly, attentive and extremely helpful at all times without being intrusive. If you miss this hotel, when you could have stayed, you will have missed a real jewel. In fact, go out of your way to get there - you will not regret it.

Location is outstanding. Breakfast is very good and the place has incredible view

Amazing ocean views, superb location right on the ocean, next to two stunning beaches. Great fish restaurants in walking distance the photos of the hotel do not do it justice, the handmade, stunning carpets are standout and the decor is fresh and very well executed. Bed super comfy and good bathroom amenities reception staff were very helpful wonderful breakfast in the dining room overlooking the sea, some excellent products (bread, cheeses etc) loved the use of the free bicycles
