The villa was bigger and better than the pictures show. Spotlessly clean and modern there was plenty of room for a family of five in a safe and secluded suburban area with a safe, fenced pool and outdoor cooking/eating area. We managed without a car, it's about 20 minutes walk to the nearest supermarket, 5 minutes to the nearest shop and 30 minutes into Cascais. From there you can catch a train to Lisbon very easily. Tiago was very welcoming, showing us around shortly after our arrival. His communication with us was excellent and he was very accommodating. We were left to enjoy the villa and make ourselves at home but Tiago was always on hand should we need anything. When we were there it was quite windy everyday and there seemed to be many dogs barking, both of which could be shut out once the windows were closed and did not bother us too much. Overall, a lovely two weeks, plenty of walking and well worth taking several easy trips into Lisbon.
