Right in the historic center of the alluring coastal town of Cascais, in western Portugal, you will find a hidden gem: The Pergola Hotel. The first thing that catches your attention about this unique boutique hotel is its historic facade and architecture. This old family home was completely restored by three friends who grew up here retaining its historic and charming ambiance that you immediately experience when you enter the hotel. The common areas are tastefully decorated in Mediterranean style with modern furnishings, antique furniture, historic paintings, and carefully chosen decorations. The hotel's 16 double rooms are located on the first and second floors and are all named after a flower. The Deluxe rooms have a private balcony overlooking the gardens. The rooms are equipped with all modern comforts and eye-catching floral wallpaper that give the rooms a colorful and romantic feel.

The hotel features a guest lounge decorated as a traditional living room and clad in beautiful Portuguese azulejos tiles. In the morning you will be spoiled with a home-made organic breakfast and in the evening you can dine in the on-site Bougain restaurant, which serves timeless dishes with Portuguese, French, and Italian influences. Before or after your dinner you can enjoy a drink in the Garden Bar surrounded by the flowery gardens. Outside the door you step right into the winding streets of Cascais full of cafes and small shops and in a few minutes' walk you can be on one of the city's beaches. Culture enthusiasts can easily travel to Lisbon by train and the decorative palaces of Sintra and its wooded natural park are also within easy reach.
