The concept of this hotel is inspired on the “classical revisited”. The style is classical but also has a contemporary and attractive feel, fitting in well with current tastes.

With regard to the interiors, the Graça Viterbo Studios has used wide windows to create a direct link to the surroundings (sea and gardens). Outside public spaces also flow directly from inner areas.

Comfort is obvious throughout and the base materials are also classical, such as local marble and Venetian mosaic for paving and toilets, which are luxurious with an Italian finish.

Ceilings are ornate and decorations blend perfectly. The same materials are used throughout the hotel. Traditional and modern Portuguese tiling can also be seen in different forms.

Rooms are inspired by shades from the sea- blue and grey with just a hint of colour. The suites have more exotic and warmer colours, the colours of late afternoon overlaid on white and beige backgrounds.

Belvedere is a gourmet restaurant of note, serving Portuguese and Mediterranean influenced dishes. This is a special place, where the location, food on offer, service and attention to the smallest detail make this an exceptional restaurant.

Navegantes is where the buffet breakfast is served. This cosy restaurant is also available for events.

The hotel is close to the Cascais Bay, Guincho beach (windsurfing), Oitavos Golf course and Estoril Casino. Just a few minutes walk from Cascais train station, the hotel provides easy access to Lisbon city centre. Comercio square/ Cais do Sodré, Belém or Estoril are just a few places with a train station on this railway line. Grande Real Villa Italia Hotel & Spa is an ideal choice for leisure and business travellers alike.
