A great location - views over to the Sintra National park & palace of Pena from the garden, a 20 min walk to the beach with beach bars, cafes & lots of surfing & a short walk to a great pizza cafe! Shared pool was always quiet & refreshing, and the coastal breeze kept the heat at bay.
Car would be helpful but there are bus stops not far from the apartment.
Recommend walking down to Praia Ursa (but it is a bit of a climb down & back up), the rock pool at Azenhas de Mar & the amazing cheese toasties at the middle beach bar on Praia Grande.
