Myself, and seven friends, stayed here for four nights and had the house to ourselves for the duration of our stay. The location is ideal, a 15 minute walk to Carcavelos beach which has lots of restaurants and cafes, or an hour walk along the beautiful coastal pathway to the beaches of Estoril and the seaside town of Cascais. Located a 2minute walk from Parede station it is easy to get the train into Lisbon in 20minutes or to historic Belem in even less time.

The house itself is beautifully decorated by and there are lots of areas to relax in, whether it be in the beautifully decorated television room or outside on the terrace near the barbecue with a blanket in the evening. For 5eurospp we also were offered a delicious breakfast – we had coffee, tea, juice, bread and cold meats/jam and pancakes and scrambled eggs – all delicious! The hostel is incredibly clean and well looked after and feels like a family run boutique hotel.

We did a surfing lesson in Guincho, a stunning beach up the coast and had a fantastic time. Everyone went out of their way to make our trip special throughout - we will be coming back!
