Casa Vela offers something most boutique hotels in Cascais can’t, your own hidden retreat surrounded by waterfalls, koi ponds, and the sound of birdsong. It’s housed in an elegant early-19th-century villa, but step outside and you’ll find a different kind of luxury: a living, breathing garden filled with ducks, turtles, frogs, and even a resident cat who makes the rounds.
Some rooms even come with their own private waterfall terrace. You can sit outside, coffee in hand, and hear nothing but chirping birds and trickling water. But you’re only a 15-minute stroll from the town center and the ocean promenade.
The rooms strike a perfect balance between comfort and character, featuring spacious layouts, natural light, and thoughtful decor. But honestly, the natural surroundings steal the spotlight.
