We were a group of 7 - 2 adults and 5 teenage children (our 4 boys and 1 guest - a girlfriend). The holiday and specifically the house exceeded our expectations. The space was incredible, the location unbeatable - away from the bustling crowds of a resort but close enough that you be could in the heart of Cascais in 20 minutes. When we did, it was a joy to escape back to Praia Grande to relax in the evening sun by the pool or with a glass of vino verde watching the incredible sun sets every evening. We woke to the sound of the ocean and wonderous views of Praia Grande and the cliffs. You can literally hear the waves crashing.
Just at the end of the hill (10 minutes walk) it was a delight to sit outside and ponder a pizza, burger, amazing sushi, mexican or sublime pasta dishes in a super communal restaurant setting with a bar and a playground for the smaller children. Supermarket is also located here - really convenient to the house.
We walked to Praia das Macas on 3 occasions for dinner (Rafael in Sal & Xixa Steakhouse - amazing host) and also we walked to Azhenhas do Mar one morning to do some exploring.
We visited Sintra - Pena Palace and the Moorish Castle - literally in the clouds - an incredible experience.
Best holiday we have every had and it certainly centered around the beautiful house in Praia Grande. We will be back!
