Descriptions Hotel Fortaleza do Guincho
Whether guests are looking for a unique relaxing spot or a quiet and enjoyable shelter to work, Fortaleza do Guincho is the ideal choice. Strategically built back in the 17th century as a fortress, it still holds its noble and strong posture, watching and diving with exquisite elegance into the Atlantic Ocean. Together with Cabo da Roca lighthouse - the farthest point to the west in Europe - Fortaleza is the guardian of one of the most exquisite landscapes in Portugal, including the wonderful Guincho beach and the steep, green hills of Sintra in the Natural Park of Sintra-Cascais. It is not uncommon to see locals, even people driving from Lisbon, coming in at lunch and dinnertime, to taste the exquisite and inspired cuisine of Vincent Farges at the Fortaleza do Guincho. The menus reflect the richness and tradition of French cuisine, with a Portuguese accent. Rigorous and demanding choice of ingredients, cooked in a way that best preserves their natural flavour and structure, make for a truly different gastronomic experience. The menus change frequently, so it\'s always a renewed pleasure to eat at Fortaleza. The wine list is quite surely among the best offered in Portugal, covering both Portuguese and French wines, all carefully chosen by Fortalezas-ns sommeliers and Vincent Farges, taking into account what is being offered on the menus. The 27 rooms, fully refurbished with some featuring terraces, are tastefully decorated and furnished with comfort in mind. Totally fit for working, reading or relaxing with a beloved one, guests will want to spend some of their precious time there.
