We just loved this house! It's so much nicer than it looks in the photos. It's a beautiful 19th century house full of character with carved stone steps and doorways, high ceilings and a feeling of genteel elegance. Of course the location is wonderful too, just steps from the beach. When we were planning our stay I was worried that we might be disturbed by the train line but actually it was a really nice feature. The trains didn't bother us at all and my two little boys absolutely loved seeing the trains. The beach next to the house is perfect for children with little natural swimming pools/rock pools, no big waves and lovely clean sand. The restaurants there are also great for lunch or a relaxing evening with drinks and grilled fish looking out over the water.
Rita and her family made us feel really welcome and helped us a lot when I had an accident and needed some first aid. They also organised some very nice cleaners for us and provided a high chair within minutes when I requested one.
I really recommend this house for a lovely family holiday in Estoril.
