We had wonderful weather and loved the location. The apartment is large and clean. It was great for a family of four (if you are ok sleeping two to a bed, beds are large so was not a problem for us). The local grocery store is a 3 minute walk and its in a mall with lots of other stores (and a great sushi restaurant, Fashion Sushi). The beach is a 5 minute walk and has lots of restaurants and cafes, surf shops. We found it very enjoyable. Some days large waves, some days small.

The apartment is 20 minutes to Sintra and 30 minutes to Lisbon. So if beach is not your thing, there are lots of other choices.

The one negative is the noise. The walls of apartment are thin and its situated on the inside of a semi circle of apartments so there is a lot of noise the echos up. Its not horrible but it is a bit of a problem if you are a light sleeper.

We look forward to going back.

Thanks Manuel and Paulo.
