Vanda (who speaks Portuguese/French) and her daughter Inès (who speaks Portuguese/English) were good hosts. Very responsive and helpful.
The little apartment is immaculately decorated with love and attention to detail. It is ideal for a romantic escape. Vanda/Inès kindly introduced us to the Douro valley red wine, offering us a bottle to enjoy our first visit to Portugal.
What we loved most about the place was the tranquil location yet proximity to the village. A tree lined avenue with some very good restaurants (sushi, local seafood/meat, pizza) all within 500m. In 5 minutes you can walk to beautiful parks, good restaurants, the marina, museums, to the famous coastal road, shops etc. Yet, when you return you can close the secure gate (though it feels very safe) to the courtyard and enjoy a feeling of being away from it all.
For us, the location, peaceful and well presented apartment made our stay in Cascais very memorable and we hope to return.
I had some changes with the booking that Inès managed well and allowed us a later check out on the last day to make our visit run more smoothly.
Thanks to Vanda and Inès for their thoughtfulness and for having us as guests in their lovely, apartment. We hope to return.
