When the wind barely stirred,
And the seas elongated the skies.
On the main rail of a sailing ship,
In the chest of a seaman
While sorrowful he sang,
While sorrowful he sang.
Oh, what immense beauty,
My land, my hill, my valley
Of golden leaves, flowers and fruits
Do you see sands of Portugal,
Vision blinded by tears.''
('Fado Portugues', a song by Amália da Piedade Rodrigues, from the traditional Portuguese music genre)
Fado is longing...
Can you hear the sweet song calling you? The music of Fado tells tales of 'saudade', which translates in English as 'longing'. If you have a longing for fresh salty air, then you’ll be delighted to discover this charming fishing village, turned into a lively beach resort. It sits on the atmospheric Atlantic coastline, with aristocratic 19thcentury residences, of which Villa Cascais is one. With views looking directly out towards the bay, this intimate boutique hotel has just 11 elegantly decorated rooms. Within them you won't find muted colours, afraid to make their presence known. Instead bold, deep, rich shades call out their unashamed passion in a display of style and vintage design. This is a boutique hotel that has history, that has soul, a hotel that has a song to sing...
Fado is life on and by the sea...
Much like this heartfelt traditional song, which originated from sailors and port life, Cascais has a melody of its own. It is a melody born of the sea which it is built around, and which still thrives on maritime life. A melody cannot be described, it can only be heard, experienced, and absorbed. Taste the local passion for cuisine in the hotel’s Furnas do Guincho restaurant, where you will find the freshest seafood, served in a cosy and contemporary space. Drink in the sights, sounds and scents of the fish market, where auctioneers cry out the catch of the day. Meander around the back lanes and alleys. Take advantage of the prime seafront location of Villa Cascais to explore the dramatic cliffs, sandy beaches and cool sea water of this impressive stretch of coastline.
Fado is destiny ...
Fado literally translates into English as 'fate'. Come and experience the unique rhythm of Cascais, a passionate rhythm that sings directly to the soul with every pulsating beat of the crashing waves. Destiny awaits at Villa Cascais...
