seafront fortressocean-to-tablejust outside Lisbon

Along one of Portugal’s most spectacular coastlines, embraced by the Sintra-Cascais Natural Park, Fortaleza do Guincho grandly rises to face the Atlantic Ocean. Just 20 miles from Lisbon, this majestic fortress – battered by the waves since the 17th century, steeped in history and sea spray – is a paradise for food connoisseurs. Fortaleza do Guincho has been painstakingly restored, preserving the vaulted ceilings, stone columns, and rich character of its past, while offering a refined contemporary atmosphere within. Most guest rooms boast views of the ocean, with the beautiful beach, Praia do Guincho, below. The Atlantic guides the dining, as well, its bounty inspiring the restaurant’s chef to craft gourmet cuisine that changes with the seasons, while remaining intensely Portuguese. Just mile or two away, the splendid palaces of Sintra vividly recount medieval history. Whether you prefer the peaceful nature of the coast or the vibrant culture of nearby Cascais and Lisbon, Fortaleza do Guincho places it all within reach.
