The Chalet Ficalho was a summer residence in Cascais in the Lisbon District of Portugal that was built in 1887–1888 for the Viscount of Ovar and his wife, who would later become the Countess of Ficalho.[1] It is one of the finest examples of the so-called summer architecture of the Cascais area. The building is now a hotel.[2]
