The house is lovely and very well situated. It is close to excellent restaurants, to the market, to supermarkets and to different modes of public transportation. The train station is just a five-minute walk and the taxi stand is just some 30 meters down the road, while there is a bus terminal at Cascais Villa shopping center, just another five-minute walk. These open up a gateway to the wonders and enchantments of Lisbon and Sintra. Cascais is a jewel unto itself. The town center, with its quaint, beautifully-cobbled streets, is charming and friendly. Interesting shops and restaurants abound. The walk to, and along, the beach is a pleasurable stroll. One can stop by bars and restaurants along the way or walk along the esplanade all the way to Estoril, which is delightful as well, with its historic casino (Ian Fleming was said to once frequent the place before creating James Bond) and live entertainment. One can also enjoy the walk on the other side, towards Boca do Inferno and Guincho, soaking up the spectacular rugged coastline, the beautiful seafront mansions and the wooded areas. There are excellent restaurants and café's along the way to add some spice to the beautiful landscape.
Essentially, Gui's historic house in Cascais is a superb jump-off point to the wonders of Cascais and its environs. A great place to start and end each amazing day in Cascais. The house is extremely well-located, comfortable, safe and Gui has been an outstanding host. We look forward to coming back again.
