Joao's friend Joana was there to greet us. The villa is a lovely, spacious property with a substantial, secluded garden. The communal pool was very quiet while we were there and the terrace attracted a cooling breeze. The bedrooms were a decent size; some issues with local dogs barking at night. The VIP supermarket is only a 15 minute walk; the larger Jumbo in Cascais requires a car. There are restaurants within walking distance, the tapas at Pateo dos Petiscos were great value, while Entraguas did excellent fish. Guincho beach is further than stated, probably 45 minutes hard walk.
