Joana’s place was even better than it looks in the pictures. It was comfortable and very well-equipped. It was a bit cold while we were there, but we took every opportunity to sit out on the wonderful ocean-view balcony. The location really worked for us; it was a 10-15 minute walk to the action in the heart of Cascais, but the neighborhood was quiet. Joana’s father greeted us kindly and provided a wealth of information about the area. It is worth taking Joana’s suggestion to use Six Stars Transfers. Although the apartment is in walking distance to the train station, it is up a hill and it was nice not to have to haul our luggage the distance. Luis, the owner and driver for Six Stars was extremely nice, informative, and helpful. One recommendation: we had two of our most memorable meals at the Cafe Pampilhiera, a tiny bar/cafe less than a block away. The owner, Maria (I think) was welcoming and generous and it had a real neighborhood feel. All in all, we had a great experience at Joana’s place
