EVOLUTION Cascais-Estoril Hotel
A really nice and modern hotel. The bar is perfect, the breakfast offer is good and the small wellness that is included in the hotel stay is enough to relax.

Staff was excellent. Room was nice but the controller for the temperature in the bedroom didn’t work and the middle of the night trash collection just outside and below the room was horrific loud.
