The Albatroz is the grande dame of Cascais: a 19th-century mansion built for aristocrats of the royal summer court, perched on the small cliff directly above Praia da Rainha in the centre of town.
Its rooms, split between the historic house and adjoining villas, mix traditional Portuguese detail — azulejos, antiques — with bright coastal comfort; the best look straight over the bay. The terrace restaurant and the small pool hang above the beach, with the old town's lanes beginning at the front door and the train to Lisbon two minutes away.
For location and pedigree together, nothing in Cascais matches it.
