The Fortaleza Do Guincho Hotel lies standing as a guardian of one of the most exquisite landscapes in Portugal, overlooking the ocean and the wonderful Guincho beach. This fully-renovated 17th-century fortress will astound and enchant any guest with its myriad charms. Whatever you are looking for, whether a unique relaxing spot or a quiet and enjoyable place  to work, the Fortaleza do Guincho is the right choice for you. The hotel offers fully refurbished rooms with fantastic views out to the sea. The  ancient character has been beautifully preserved with antique furnishings including old weapons and suits of armour; all reflective of the Fortress’ turbulent past and the times when it was built on the orders of King Joao IV in 1642.
This beautiful property with a high level of comfort enjoys a perfect location, only 30 minutes away from Lisbon, between the steep green hills of Sintra Natural Park, and overlooking the Guincho beach, which  with its big crashing Atlantic waves,   has become very famous for surfing and windsurfing in the last years.
For those gourmet guests, the hotel serves exceptional "Haute Cuisine" designed to satisfy those who regard gastronomy as one of the greatest pleasures in life, in the hands of the chef Marc Le Quedec, who inspires  in french cuisine and combines it, with regional and Portuguese influence.
