Staying in Alcabideche

Alcabideche sits between the hill town of Sintra and the coastal resorts of Cascais and Estoril, so a stay here puts you within easy reach of both Atlantic beaches and wooded hills. The parish itself is residential and green, made up of small places such as Malveira da Serra, Amoreira and Bicesse, with the coast road running along its southern edge.

These 4-star hotels are scattered across those places, from Estrada Nacional 9 and Rua das Piteiras to Malveira da Serra, Amoreira and Bicesse. Almost all are apartments, villas or self-catering houses rather than full-service hotels, which makes them well suited to couples on a short break, families needing cots, family rooms and kitchens, and small groups who prefer space and privacy to a lobby.
