Location & Description
"The Pergola House" is a mediterranean style mansion featuring elegant white marble floors and staircases, beautifully decorated bedrooms with "bas relief" stucco ceilings and a charming garden. This superb house has been owned by the same family for over a century and its beautiful facade, adorned with hand painted tiles, has been the delight both amateur and professional photographers. Pergola House is the choice for the growing number of travellers who do not want to stay impersonal first class hotels in city centres. In this Manor House of Portugal you can enjoy the hospitable, atmosphere and spirit of the country you are visiting.
The house is situated in the centre of Cascais, an eight hundred year old village of fishermen. It's balmy climate made it a favourite place for several dethroned kings to make their home.
There are six double bedrooms each with ensuite bathroom. Some are twin (with or without balcony) and some double bedrooms. Guests are invited to use the lounge and the diningroom.
Although now developed into a town, Cascais has retained its old world charm - in the old quarter you can take a walk through winding cobbled streets with pavement taverns and restaurants serving typical Portuguese dishes.
In the harbour area, in the centre of the town, fishermen repair their nets beside their colourfully painted boats.
From Cascais, there is easy access to Lisbon and its airport via
a modern motorway. Lisbon traffic makes the train an attractive alternative. Trains leave every fifteen minutes for the half hour journey along the Tagus estuary to the city centre. The service continues until 2.00 am. The train station is two minutes walk from Casa da Pérgola. Guests Dave and Renae Thompson of Phoenix, USA said "The Casa da Pergola in Cascais was outstanding. The management was very helpful and the accommodations and location were better than expected. I think we were there at about the height of the flowering of their gardens".
