Chalet Ficalho is a beautiful house steeped in history and currently run by Maria and her daughter. The house has been recently refurbished and Maria and her architect have taken great care to restore original features whilst updating it to modern standards. Our room was spacious, very quiet with high quality comfortable beds and a beautiful new bathroom with walk in shower. It was great to have a pool too in the grounds.

Everything was perfect.

The house is a gorgeous 150 yr old home. Made of large stones. Inside is an array of wooden ceilings, floors, stairs. And Antique furniture & chandeliers. It is gorgeous! The bathrooms are new, modern fixtures, with state of the art showers. A/C works great! Lovely swimming pool & gardens.

Nothing not to like. Bedside light for reading would be nice.

It's hard to find fault... but I didn't like the sausages!

Beautiful building with wonderful hosts, in a great location. Breakfast was lovely, on the terrace. Cakes freshly baked every day were also delicious - and I don't usually like sweet things. Super comfy bed.

Nothing, it was perfect.

Chalet Ficalho has old world charm. It felt very much like staying at a friend’s family villa. The staff was friendly and welcoming, but the space felt casual and authentic. Morning breakfasts were simply perfect as guests casually arrived to the shared dining area and patio. The afternoons we spent sunning by the pool and drinking Aperol spritz after a day at the beautiful beaches nearby. When we needed to extend our stay a day due to cancelled flights, the staff did everything to make it easy and stress free.

Everything! This is the most beautiful, spacious, comfortable and welcoming place that we’ve ever stayed in. Moments from the town centre, the marina, parks and several museums and beaches yet in a quiet and peaceful location. Beautiful outside areas and grounds including the terrace (where we ate breakfast) and the pool area. Thank you so much to Mária and all your family and team for making us so welcome.

This was an amazing home to relax and unwind. The garden and pool gave us so much space to do that and the fact that it is small and can hold up to a certain amount of people was perfect for us as we wanted to avoid crowds and loud noises. It is truly a spot to de-stress and recharge. It’s also a few minutes walk to the center of Cascais. Maria was a most gracious and kind host, we loved meeting her and sharing this beautiful home with her.

Absolutely nothing!

Absolutely beautiful place to stay. The gardens are gorgeous and the room was spacious and comfortable. Received a warm welcome by Marie who was very personable and helpful. Recommendations for dinner etc were perfect. Lovely breakfast each day along with snacks to enjoy throughout the day. All of the staff were excellent, special thank you to Rakim. I highly recommend staying at this lovely home.

Excellant location our host was amazing. My request for gluten free was beyond anything I could hope for -- especially the homemade cake in the morning. Our room was very clean and well appointed. We would definitely come back next time!!!

Chalet Ficalho is a gem of a place and we could not recommend it highly enough (although we would prefer not too many other people find out about it!). A beautiful and elegant building, restored and maintained to a high standard. Extremely comfortable and relaxing, our hosts could not have been more helpful, and all of the staff are fantastic (especially Hakim). The location, right in the centre of Cascais, was perfect - just a few minutes walk into the centre, without it being busy or noisy. We can't wait to visit again..

Spectacular house, with stunning rooms, in the most beautiful grounds. The well positioned breakfast patio to enjoy a lovely breakfast, including delicious homemade cakes, ripe fruits and freshly brewed coffee. The pool is a generous size for so few guests, it always felt spacious. Sun loungers for peace and quiet on the lawn, while only a minute away from the bustling town centre. Service was flawless and made the stay incredibly relaxing.

Chalet Ficalho is a stunning family home with tranquil gardens and pool. Our family were so well looked after by Hakim and Maria throughout our stay. The rooms are gorgeous with all the amenities you need and very comfortable beds and air conditioning. We had daily breakfast included which was delicious. The Chalet is walking distance to the beach as well as the town, markets, shops and restaurants. We relaxed by the pool each afternoon before heading out to dinner. Highly recommend!!! Thank you so much !! 🤩😍

This is a really special place and we felt welcome from the moment we arrived. The building is beautiful and the people running it were so kind and thoughtful. We wish we had been able to stay another night - this was one stop on a much longer trip and was a lovely oasis between more hectic places. It’s located in a beautiful part of Cascais and a short pleasant stroll from the Marina, the Center, and the stunning Santa Maria House/ bridge. I particularly enjoyed relaxing by the pool, the excellent breakfast, and meeting the lovely dog!

Nothing. It really was lovely.

Chalet Ficalho was in a lovely quieter part of town. It was immaculate, and the staff were so friendly and attentive. Beautiful peaceful garden and excellent pool. Breakfast, served in or out on the terrace, was really good. Maria was very helpful about where to see and transport.

I loved everything

Stunning hotel with an amazing kind staff. Maria was so welcoming and generous. The chalet and grounds were impeccable. I felt like I was back in time and it was a nice relaxing break after the hustle of Lisbon. I highly suggest a stay at their magnificent hotel which is a short walk to the cliffs, town and beach. The breakfast, room and amenities were outstanding. Thank you for a wonderful visit. Make this place a definite stop on your travels in Portugal
