I made Rita's charming, rustic apartment my home for the first three months of 2013 and enjoyed my stay. The apartment is perfectly located to tour Cascais, Sintra, and Lisbon, since it is only a very short walk to the bus terminal and the train station. Though I couldn't use it often because of the very rainy winter, the terrace is enormous. Even in the winter, Though, I found a few days to sit outside on the terrace in the sun and read. The apartment is extremely well supplied; Rita even provided a grocery cart, a one-cup coffee maker and an umbrella. She was a wonderful hostess, quickly answering any and all requests I made of her. I had a super, very relaxing winter in the apartment, despite the winter rains. It would be even better in the summertime, since all the beaches of Cascais are within easy walking distance. I highly recommend the place!
