The studio is in a great location just 10 minutes walk from the beach and the centre of Cascais. It is in a quiet residential area with gated entry so very secure. For a studio apartment the main room was very spacious for the two of us with doors opening onto the balcony. Another door from the kitchen area opened onto the balcony too for dining outside. The balcony is shaded from the sun most of the day but this kept the room cool which was great if you are visiting in the hot summer months. The apartment was very clean and Carla was so kind to leave us a lovely bottle of wine to welcome us. The pool is nice with plenty of loungers with mattresses to relax. We had the pool to ourselves most days so it was great and very peaceful. The grounds of the complex are very well kept and clean. We didn't get to meet Carla but she was in touch with us to make sure everything was good and responded quickly to any messages. Daniel the doorman met us on arrival and was on hand if we needed anything. We had a great 11 nights here and hope to come back again next year to this apartment or complex.
