We visited the Lighthouse Museum next door and entry to this museum was included in the price. As I explored the house I was very interested in many of the interesting rooms and design features of the house, I was unsure of exactly why it was a museum? On the way out I…

This is probably the most photographed house in Cascais. Next to a small cove and the lighthouse. Several super examples of tilework adorn the halls. Magnificent large hall on the first floor.

We visited on our last day in Cascais and were pleased that we did not miss this charming little house. Although dating from the early twentieth century, it is decorated with tiles from the sixteenth century onwards. It is beautifully situated overlooking the sea. …

My wife and I loved every aspect of this house, the grounds, location and adjacent lighthouse. The rooms and their decorative touches were very interesting and it was not very crowded. Fabulous house with amazing water views. More amazing views from the narrow observation…

Really lovely house, you pay 4 euros for admittance to it and the lighthouse (although don't expect to go up except on Wednesdays). The house is really cool, though, and quiet. Glad I went.

If you like architecture and portugese tiles, this house is a must. I had the good luck to get a free private tour by a very well informed and enthusiastic guide who leads visitors around the house during the summer.

The Casa de Santa Maria was built in 1903 for an Irish aristocrat George O’Neil, who had made a fortune from selling tobacco. Although stripped of a lot of the original furnishings the ceilings and Portuguese tiles rescued from a ruined chaple near Lisbon are worth seeing. There…

We did not go in but looks like a nice landmark where people sit around and enjoy the small marina. Very close to the main streets. Supposedly free for "seniors".

By walking in Cascais there are a lot to visit, the nice Casa de Santa Maria, near the lightower, a beautiful house in 1760, a perfect exemple of the taste of that time with enorm spaces, a real splendour.

Our hotel, Vila Gale, gave us vouchers for the local museums. We made use of them with a visit to Casa Dr Santa Maria among other places of interest. Overlooking the water's edge, this is a beautiful setting with great views from the upper floor. While there aren't any…

We stumble across this place when walking to the lighthouse. People were lounging on the banks and in the water and it looked so inviting! We didn't actually go in to the museum itself but i just wanted to comment on the grounds outside, they were exceptional in itself.

Easy to find; right on the walking path along the Cascais coast, for 3 Euros you can view an early 19th century house designed by Raul Lino. Not overly furnished but a walk through the main, upper and basement floors are interesting. House remains cool even in hot weather. …

We did not expect much, but this is an easy/quick museum - a lovely house that was built in 3 stages. The view of gorgeous - over the ocean, a small lagune and a marina. Unfortuantely, not furnished, but the photographs give you an idea what it looked like when it was inhabited.…

The Casa de Santa Maria tour is worth taking time to do. The place was designed by Raul Lino. The house is located next to the Santa Maria Lighthouse. The Portuguese tile is extraordinary - having been saved from the ruins of a chapel near Lisbon. The Great Hall with its oil…

Beautiful tiled walls and art. Gardens were a bit sparse but could have been because it was still early Spring. Best part is that it's free to senior citizens.
