The host Carolina was very responsive to our queries and very helpful. It was lovely to have a bottle of wine and some Pastel de natas waiting for us when we arrived.
The house was very clean and tidy, and it was nice to have the courtyard at the front of the house to relax in, and to have a dishwasher and washing machine.
Carcavelos is not very touristy, so you feel like you're in 'real' Portugal. We didn't have a car so we used public transport. It was a 5 - 10 minute walk to the train station (25 mins to Lisbon and 15 to Caiscais). We took the 467 bus to Sintra (1 hour journey) from a bus stop 15 mins north of Chez Aramis. Pingo Doce and Lidl supermarkets were both a 15 minute walk. The huge beach was a 15 minute walk (though the waves weren't as good as we were hoping for).
Our 3 kids (aged 15, 13 and 11) enjoyed having their own rooms. The TV has HDMI slots which meant we could use our Chromecast which was good, and the wifi was very fast when in the lounge/kitchen area.
Cafe Sao Jorge is only 2 mins walk and we frequented it quite a few times.
