Welcome to
Chalet Ficalho

A locally beloved family holiday estate nestled in the heart of picture-perfect, old town Cascais. Built in 1897, Chalet Ficalho has remained in the family and has been lovingly repurposed into a charming and intimate boutique hotel that continues to be run by the family. 

Its central Cascais location is ideal - within walking distance of the beaches, museums, town parks, fashionable restaurants, marina and the train station that takes you to Lisbon in 30 minutes.  

As a guest here, you will naturally become a part of the very fabric of the house and its historic yet cosmopolitan destination. Not just because the home has been restored by the family who endeavored to preserve its legacy and traditions. But because, when you stay at Chalet Ficalho,  we want you to feel at home.

Dream Destination

Always a fisherman’s village at heart yet graced with the subtle grandeur of the Portuguese and European nobility who throughout history chose Cascais as their summer refuge and safe haven, today Cascais is a cosmopolitan hub, where families from all corners of the globe choose to stay and live.

Beyond its historical allure, Cascais is a mecca for outdoor enthusiasts. Stunning beaches, and a dazzling pristine coastline, championship golf courses, world-class horse riding facilities and trails that wind through the town's lush landscapes, and along its impressive coastline providing a perfect blend of nature and recreation.

Adding to its overall appeal, Cascais is strategically located a 30 minute train ride from Lisbon and a 20 minute drive from Sintra. Other popular hotspots - like Ericeira, Évora, Fátima, Óbidos, Comporta and Mafra - are easily accessible, offering a wealth of cultural experiences and a connection to authentic Portuguese lifestyle.
