July 19 2007: I was lucky enough to take a business trip to Portugal. I stayed at the Grande Real Villa Italia Hotel & Spa. It's a new property only open since March of 07. Very attentive staff, wonderful rooms with all of the amenities to satisfy both leisure and business travelers. Want to get on-line pool side while sipping a Mojito? No problem. Plus Cascais is a very nice seaside town with everything you need just a short walk from the property.

Boasting a unique oceanfront location, Grande Real Villa Itália Hotel & Spa is a charming 5 star hotel in Cascais. This former fishing village is currently a fashionable summer destination, ideally situated within a short drive from the cosmopolitan Lisbon and from the cultural landscape of Sintra, declared World Heritage Site by UNESCO. Among its relax-oriented facilities, this sophisticated hotel includes a new spa with a thalasso circuit pool and thermal baths, and is, therefore, an excellent accommodation choice for a relaxing stay in Portugal's coast. And, while parents treat themselves at the spa, children can have a great time at the hotel's mini club. Grande Real Villa Itália Hotel & Spa is disabled-accessible and offers two restaurants, bar, terrace cafés, pool bar, outdoor pools, games room, lounges, mini club, health club, hairdresser, meeting rooms, shops, wireless Internet access and business center.
