Blanca's home was lovely, light and fresh! With coastal breezes and a private neighborhood feel it was a peaceful house to retreat to in Cascais! We enjoyed walking to a delicious bakery 5 minutes away and a very nice grocery and fruit market in a close by neighborhood. The beaches of Cascais and the urban center are about a 10-12 minute walk down the hill with tons of options for restaurants, Huge Jumbo grocery store ( though I preferred closer Lidel Market as then we didn't have to carry groceries up the big hill), and terrific gelato at Santinis (we went twice- it was that good). Blanca was so sweet to work with she met us late in the evening upon our arrival with a smile and had a bottle of wine chilling and cheese in the fridge. She then drove us to town to a restaurant to get dinner before they closed. She was super hospitable! Enjoy this spacious newly redone neighborhood home. And enjoy a very charming, personable host.
