Visit Grande Real Villa Itália Hotel & Spa's Website

Grande Real Villa Itália Hotel & Spa is five-star in every way, historically significant and conveniently placed for both the beach (Cascais and Estoril) and city (Lisbon, 20 minutes away). Built in the 1960s to house the last, and exiled, King of Italy Humberto II, today’s extended and restored Villa Itália has 124 rooms, suites and penthouses.

Steeped in classic luxury, they showcase the work of one of Portugal’s leading interior decorators, Graça Viterbo, with local touches such as distinctive blue-toned Cascais marble. Just like its famous royal resident, guests dine and drink in style from breakfast pastries, fresh fruit and charcuterie at Restaurante Navegantes to seasonal Mediterranean favourites at the sea-facing La Terraza. La Terraza highlights locally sourced ingredients and partnerships with regional producers, complemented by a carefully curated selection of wines and cocktails. All is inspired by the hotel’s Italian heritage, and in fact, a selection of the King’s favourite dishes appear on the menu.

Several sun-kissed terraces provide the perfect panoramic spot for unwinding and gazing out to the sea whilst total relaxation is achieved at the 10 treatment-room spa, inspired by Roman bath houses. Features include a thalassotherapy circuit, sauna, steam room and gym alongside a menu of soothing holistic therapies as well as signature and personalised massages. Outside, a sea-water pool resides next to Bar Mare where light meals and creative cocktails are served. But if you’d rather luxuriate in your room, suite or penthouse, 24-hour room service is available and your mini bar will be stocked at your pleasure.

A Note From The Local Expert…

King Umberto II lived the dolce vita life here. Today, it’s La Terraza that promises the sweet life with a sublime Mediterranean menu filled featuring riches from the Atlantic Ocean, local producers and seasonal ingredients. Cascais, charged with dazzling, elegant energy, is charming in every season and its coast is an endless source of culinary inspiration.
