I stayed in Raquel and Joao's place with my husband and two of our grown children. The location was perfect for us, quiet but close enough to the train to go Lisbon or Cascais and an easy walk to several beaches. We thought we'd need a car, but it was so relaxing to not have that worry and be able to get to everywhere we wanted.
Joao met us at the apartment even though we arrived quite late in the evening and was so generous to show us around, had lots of valuable information as to where we could eat, shop, travel etc. And it was a really lovely touch to leave some local fruit, cheese, bread and wine.
The apartment was exactly as shown in the photos and it was perfectly clean with plenty of towels and bedlinen. Beds were comfortable too! The grounds were clean and tidy, the pool was great and we often were the only people in the water. This was a perfect place for us to relax and feel at home for 2 weeks. I would highly recommend it and fell in love with this part of Portugal.
