Outstanding venue

Exceeded our expectations!
Our first time to Lisbon. Hotel Pestana Cidadella was even better than we hoped. Located in an ancient o fortress, the atmosphere inside was stylish and modern. So beautiful overlooking the Marina, the town and the beach. King bed was very comfy. and the room was spotless. Service was outstanding and friendly, in perfect English. Breakfast was incredible. What a spread! Also loved the outdoor pool. I left a note in our booking that we were celebrating our 35th wedding anniversary, but I didn't expect any special treatment. We were touched when we came back to our room on the first night to find roses, sparkling wine, and chocolate covered strawberries. So sweet and romantic. We're defnintely going back!

Warm service
I was between moving out/in and needed a room for few days. So, Pestana came out of hat. I am not sure what the put in their staff meal, everyone seem very happy and helpful with a huge genuine welcoming smile. Anna and Ayoub shine at breakfast time, very efficient, welcoming and friendly. The product is also very nice and good value. I must get his name, there is a tall guy at reception, he is amazing! If I had a hotel I would make him the GM😊 Overall, very nice and would happily return.

Riding out the storm in a fort :)
Thank you for a lovely stay, we enjoyed our time in Cascais (despite the storm). It was magical staying in a fort and calling this home for several days. I would come back (next time in summer). Thank you Anna and Arefine for your hospitality!
