The art of hospitality at it's best!
We had a truly wonderful time at Alfonso's apartment (which feels more like a house with boutique hotel amenities... really). We had such a perfect family stay during the festivities in Cascais with our two kids (10 and 11)!
Check-in
Right away, access to the place was very easy. Alfonso was there to greet us and arranged for a very convenient parking for us. The milk, juice, fruits, coffee and wine was a fine touch! Alfonso took the time to give us the necessary info about the town and festivities, and left us with a booklet with lots activity and restaurant suggestions. He was also just a text/phone call away and communications were prompt, friendly and efficient.
The apartment
Everything, from the moment you enter the building, looks like it has been thoughtfully renovated with high quality materials. The building itself looks very upscale and well maintained.
The place (on the second floor) is so spacious, clean, confortable and bright, with a total of three balconies. Everything you need to spend a relaxing vacation is there: well equipped kitchen, confortable beds and linen, two well appointed bathrooms, washer, lots of towels, etc.
The second bedroom is equipped with two single beds and it's own bathroom. Our kids really enjoyed having their own little space (and so did we!).
Above all, it is very safe and quiet at night, so we were able to enjoy good nights sleep.
The location
You seriously can't ask for a better location. The beach is literally at 100 meters. Other beaches are just a few minutes walk away. Everything is at walking distance, from boutiques, restaurants, cycling paths, etc. The small restaurant next door serves excellent coffee and breakfast on the patio in the morning!
Overall, Alfonso made our trip absolutely unforgettable! We would definitely recommend this apartment and this host to anyone.
