The best florists in Cascais

This family has been selling flowers at Mercado da Vila for 60 years.
It all started with the grandmother, Maria Lourdes Neves, who sold flowers every week at a stall in the old-style market. Her daughter, Maria Rodrigues, carried on the tradition, and now it’s the granddaughter, Rita Vidigal, who’s running the show. Nineteen years ago, they opened a permanent space in the market, where they sell flowers for every occasion – from home décor to parties, weddings, christenings and even funerals.

One of the biggest – and best-known – flower shops in the Cascais area, Flores da Poça also stocks a lovely selection of houseplants.
You’ll find it in Vale de Santa Rita, Estoril, near the well-known “Supermercado Tradicional” – locals know it simply as Senhor Xico. The shop is packed with flowers and plants in every shape and colour, and they deliver all across mainland Portugal. While the original shop is in Estoril, they’ve also branched out with locations in Sintra and Barcelos.

Maria Matos found a home for 2for1 Design when she opened D. Amélia Flower Bar. The small shop transports you to the fragrances of the countryside, full of flowers, many of them dried. Here they believe in seasonal products, many of which, including fruit, are preserved by Maria herself. There are always ready-made bouquets, although Maria prefers to create them on the spot to suit each customer’s taste.

With roots in a “century-old Cascais family known as Paulista” – long associated with flowers thanks to their beautifully tended garden – this shop opened its doors in 1999 in the Torre neighbourhood.
They sell flowers and houseplants, both in-store and through home delivery. Floral design is at the heart of what they do, with exclusive arrangements crafted by their in-house experts.

One of the oldest florists in Cascais is tucked away in the Guia area – and it’s still run by the same owner.
Since 1981, Maria Isabel Costa has been running Florista da Guia from a small street-side kiosk. She prides herself on “always fresh flowers”, and says daisies are the top sellers.
