We had a lovely stay in Parede. Close enough to Lisbon to go in during the day or at night by train, but also walking distance from a nice and secluded beach. The flat upstairs was really nice, the only thing half way through we were asked to move downstairs to a different apartment which, though it did have the same layout, wasn't as nice in terms of equipment and communal space. Still, I would definitely recommend the upstairs flat.
