The area (Cascais, Guincho beach) is beautiful and we had a good holiday. Maybe it was because our expectations were very high and the winds from the north pretty strong, but overall the apartment was a slight disappointment. It is located in the basement of a mansion that was built on a small hilltop. The terrace and the swimming pool are on the ground floor (where the owner is living) facing north and because of the wind we used the pool much less than expected and the terrace not at all. We had to have our meals inside and unfortunately the apartment is rather dark.
