I can't say enough great things about this rental home and Cascais. The house is a gem and the location can't be beat. If we return to Cascais I wouldn't stay anywhere else. It's right in the heart of Cascais, steps away from great restaurants, grocery stores, farmers market, and the beach, a 5 min walk to the train station where you can take a 30 min train ride to Lisbon. The house is tucked away on a quieter street, so you are away from the bustle of some of the busier streets, and the double pane windows ensured it was very quiet in the house even if there was some noise outside, which was important for our family of light sleepers. The house is huge, very spacious living room and bedrooms, plenty of bathrooms and showers, great size well equipped kitchen with a dishwasher and clothes washer, and the most charming yard with a lemon tree where we spent afternoons with a glass of wine listening to the life of the town. Gui, our host, was most gracious and helpful, she helped with local restaurant and sightseeing tips, and was quick to respond to a couple of questions via text messages.
We traveled with our 5 year old son and were glad we stayed in Cascais instead of the busy Lisbon, we were still able to go there on day trips, but every time were very happy to return to the calm and charming Cascais where you have the beach, access to Sintra, 10 min away from kiting and windsurfing at Guincho. Our favorite restaurant in Cascais was Kesh, one block away from the house, it has great Moroccan food and a cozy atmosphere.
Thank you Gui for the most comfortable stay, we can't wait to come back!
