Sofia collected us in Lisbon and brought us to her beautiful apartment, on the way there she took the scenic route and showed us various places of interest, beaches we could visit and places to have dinner in. The apartment is beautiful and has everything and more you might need during your stay. The walk into Cascais is about 10 min. and there is a bus stop outside, there is also a supermarket across the road (fresh bread rolls every morning!) Cascais itself has everything to offer, lovely restaurants, beaches, a beautiful park etc etc. The prices are very reasonable all around and for the really thrifty ones there is a weekly fruit/vegetable/fish market and all the appliances you need for preparing your own dinner you will find in Sofia's apartment! What more can I say, fantastic all around, fantastic host!
