The apartment is great - good facilities, large comfortable bed, very roomy and bright, a large balcony looking out to the grounds and pool, electric black-out blinds on all external windows. There is also a second toilet/washroom in addition to the main bathroom. The apartment complex was quiet at night (mid-June). The grounds, pool and pool area were very pleasant and very well-kept.
It is about 15-20 minutes easy (and pleasant) walk to main Cascais. There is a small supermarket nearby (at the petrol station) and the sea front at Boca Inferno, with a restaurant and snack shop, is a short walk away.
We had no car, but there seemed ample parking space - also a security post on entry to the the apartment complex.
We collected keys from the security guard after security confirmation from Altido.
A basic apartment info guide can be downloaded giving wi-fi and appliance details. A hard copy of the guide in the appt would be useful if you hadn't downloaded.
The TV instructions were somewhat complicated and we never managed to get it working. Altido offered various suggestions which didn't work, and also suggested a WhatsApp video call - but as we weren't watching TV we didn't follow it up. I was assured after we left that all was working OK, so I think clearer TV instructions are needed. Communication with Altido was very good and quick.
Some local info would have been useful - nearest supermarket and restaurants etc. and a local map. Also extra towels for the swimming pool would have been useful.
A bedside light bulb didn’t work and was quickly replaced the next day.
But these were all minor problems. We had a very pleasant stay - a lovely apartment in a pleasant (just) out-of-town location - and would return.
