A nice apartment just as described and very spacious. Two bathrooms was great even though just two of us. Jose provided beach towels we requested as we travelled light and we used the washing machine mid week. It was great being close to the train station ( 2 mins) and the beach (3 mins) however, not a lot of places immediately local to eat or drink. We tried the two local bars but very small and smokey and more for locals than tourists - ok for a quick drink though. The centre of Estoril is a 12/14 min walk or €3 in an Uber which were very quick to respond all week, so we ate in Gordinni’s Italian twice which was amazing. Cocktails in the Palacio hotel were great but expensive as expected for a nice hotel.
Get a 7 day train ticket for the Caiscais to Lisbon line for €12:50 we used it lots and really easy to get the trains which run every 20 mins. Caiscais was really nice to visit the bars and restaurants.
A visit to Sintra is a must, we were in Lisbon and took a tube and 40 min train ride plus walk up to the town prior to the journey to the summit. If you are staying at Jose’s place, the Uber home from Sintra was only €13 direct and 20 mins.
Cant go wrong on any of the beaches close by, all beautiful.
Lisbon itself was 30 mins on the train from Jose’s apartment and all told we had a brilliant week.
