We had a great stay at Marta’s house. It’s located right in between Cascais downtown, Sintra, and Guincho beach, close to the high way and you are able to get everywhere really quickly.
Marta was available for any issues, prepared a wonderful welcome package for us, and even drove over from Lisbon when we had some issues with the water system.
A few things to note:
- wifi is great. I was able to do work that requires fast wifi without any issues.
- it can get quite cold in the garden due to wind from the Atlantic Ocean. Be prepared to bring some warm clothes if you plan to sit outside at night.
- kids: we had a one year old with us and she loved the big garden, playground across the street (have some beers and the €5 burgers in the local association while you are there), and the horses nearby. It really was perfect with a child.
- as the description mentions, you’ll need a car. There seem to be buses and Ubers are fairly cheap (€5 to go to cascais center), but we really enjoyed the extra flexibility.
We’ll be back :)
