What a wonderful trip. We had a lovely time and Joao was a great host. Excellent communication all the way through. We were two families each with two children and the house fitted us perfectly. The pool, play ground and tennis courts are all beautiful.
Joanna met us and showed us around, she was lovely.
The bbq was really good.
We had two nights in Lisbon before heading to Cascais, the Albatroz restaurant is great if you want to treat yourself. The hot dog stand on the road to Cascais is a good recommendation. The restaurants around Cassa da Guia over the road are great and a short walk.
Guinco beach is amazing to the north of the house, very different to Cascais beach.
Local taxis are reasonable and friendly. We were worried that we would miss having a car but it was fine. Aerocoop were really excellent for airport transfers.
We can thoroughly recommend champagne for breakfast and a continuous supply of Nata!
