We are three seniors on a first visit to Portugal and we are delighted that it lived up to all our expectations.
Having been welcomed by our host Margarida, who met us at the airport to drive us to the apartment, our journey was made easy and comfortable from the start.
Margarida provided us with fresh fruits, juice, bread and milk with honey and jam at the apartment so that we could eat on arrival. This was a real bonus for us as it meant we didn't have to shop on arrival.
We were very pleased with the location and accommodation - the complex has a swimming pool with comfortable 'lie-lows' where we could relax, enjoy our reading beside the pool.
Anyone looking for total rest in a quiet residential area, and at the same time be just a short walk from the sea, restaurants, bus and train, this is ideal. The beach at Monte Estoril is a 15-minute walk away downhill (20min uphill!). We were able to walk along the esplanade in the evenings to the beautiful town of Cascais where there are an abundance of restaurants serving delicious fish dishes.
Trains and buses are also a 15-minute walk downhill near the Tourist Centre. Trains to Lisbon or Cascais are frequent. There is a bus service to Sintra - the historic city that is well-worth a visit.
We recommend this location and accommodation to our friends.
