Experiences by Artsy

For those art and culture lovers amongst you, this is a wonderful experience where you spend a morning with a local watercolour artist, straight out of the Hotel, to soak up all the history and beauty of Cascais, whilst eternalizing the moment in sketches and/or watercolours. Be inspired in the land that inspired the last King of Portugal, also sometimes known as the “Painter King”, as he too took a lot of his inspirations in his Watercolours from Cascais and the natural beauty of the town he loved so much.

Explore the coastal charm of Cascais while indulging in the town’s rich culinary heritage on this walking food and wine tour crafted for true food enthusiasts. This experience takes you through the picturesque streets of Cascais, where you’ll uncover the authentic flavours that define Portuguese cuisine. As you stroll through this charming seaside town, you’ll visit local favourites, tucked-away spots, and hidden gardens that showcase the best of Cascais’ food scene. Savor freshly caught seafood, artisanal cheeses, and traditional “petiscos”, all paired with exquisite wines from nearby regions. Along the way, you’ll taste everything from the iconic Santini gelato to local specialties that will surprise and delight your taste buds. 

The Traditional and The New
Located between the Sintra mountain and the Atlantic Ocean, the Colares wine region officially exists since 1908, when it became a demarcated wine region (DOC). You will learn all about the most western wine region of continental Europe, and one of the smallest in Portugal. A unique region where the vineyards are some of the oldest in Europe, having survived the Phylloxera epidemic of the 19th century.
We will show you vineyards planted in sand, a tasting in a 200 year old winery and finish in a winery that only started producing wines after 2006. Two opposing projects in a region unique for its location, method of plantation and size.  
You will visit ADEGA VIÚVA GOMES, founded in 1808, and CASAL SANTA MARIA, producers since 2006. We can include a light tapas lunch at Casal de Santa Maria, however alternatively we can book a local typical restaurant for lunch.

Experience a fun and relaxing morning out at sea, close to the Cascais coast, fishing for various different species, accompanied by a local fisherman and his crew with years of experience. 

This is the fishing excursion for you, independently if you are more or less experienced, and everything you need to fish will already be on board and waiting, including some drinks and snacks. 

The boat will be private just for you and your group to enjoy and lunch can be included on request.

Discover the thrill of high-end motoring with our exclusive supercars. We have the keys to some of the most iconic supercars around.

Most supercars are available for a minimum 3 days, however, exceptionally at the Artsy, we have a special Porsche 911 CARRERA S Cabrio, available for a daily rental and why not add a gourmet picnic basket, prepared by the hotel chef, to the experience.

We suggest either taking a quicker 15 min flight, including views of the Lisbon Bridge, Belem Tower, Jeronimos Monastery and Christ Statue, among others, or then the longer, 45 min flight, with views of the famous Sintra Palaces, Cabo da Roca, Cascais and Estoril, among others.

WITH LUNCH AND LIVE SOLO SINGING PERFORMANCE (JAZZ, BOSSA NOVA, LOUNGE)
Discover the charm of the Atlantic and embark on an unforgettable morning on board one of our private yachts, with a stunning cruise along the coastline, followed by a casual lunch in the beautiful bay of Cascais. To end the experience with a bang, we will bring an up and coming singer on board for a private Live Solo Act for approximately 30 mins, singing JAZZ/BOSSA NOVA/LOUNGE. 

For those who prefer to experience the ocean towards the end of the day, we suggest the sunset cruise, where you can spend the most iconic moment of the day, sipping on a glass of wine, and taking in the beautiful views.
