Description
Set in a 17th century fortress, the Fortaleza do Guincho is an ideal place for people who are looking for a quiet refuge to work or relax. The hotel still keeps a noble and strong posture, that faces the beautiful Atlantic blue with great elegance.
The Fortaleza do Guincho has 27 restored rooms and suites, all equipped with the last in comfort and technology. Boasting a balcony or terrace with southfacing views towards the sea, or towards the most westerly point of mainland Europe, the marvellous Cabo da Roca. Completely equipped and conditioned, guests will find it a great place to relax, read or work comfortably.
The establishment's famous and experienced chef, Vincent Farges is an inventive disciple of Antoine Westermann, the three Michelin-Star French chef. Farges attracts locals from as far as Lisbon to sample dishes that subtly merge French flavours with Portuguese accents whilst espousing traditional ways of cooking. A first-class wine list with French and Portuguese bottles complements the dishes.
Together with the rooms and wonderful gastronomy that the Hotel Fortaleza do Guincho has to offer, it is well worth mentioning that the hotel is located in one of the most beautiful places in Portugal. Its neighbours include the most westerly lighthouse on mainland Europe in Cabo da Roca, the marvellous Guincho beach and the steep, green mountains of Sintra and Sintra-Cascais natural park.
