Afonso’s place was perfect for our girls trip. The space is huge with bedroom space nicely divided. Walk in, bedroom, bath and large kitchen (small balcony) to the left. To the right, up a small flight of stairs is the dining and living room, with a long/skinny balcony to the interior of the block (can bring out a chair to read a book or have wine but you wouldn’t be sunbathing there). Down a flight of stairs from there is the second spacious bedroom, with an attached master and a balcony in the same position as upstairs. The neighborhood is super convenient. If you look up A leitaria, it is between that square and the stairs next to Hifen and just 2 mins from there to the first beach. While even the touristy parts of cascais still have local gems, we liked the more neighborhoody dining of this side of cascais (bubbles and bites, waka, taberna clandestina). Afonso was hospitable, making us comfortable and welcome before scheduled checkin. Recommended, enjoy!
