Simona was not there so we were received by the caretaker of the big house on the hill, where the family lives. The house we rented is at the foot of the hill, it could have been the gatekeeper's place before. It is very sweet: traditional architecture, respectfully renovated. A bit like an English cottage. Everything is clean and well taken care of. Because it is right at the street, which on the other side has a seven-floor apartment building, you can hear the traffic a bit, especially at night (it is close to the casino, so there are some cars passing late at night). If you're sensitive to that, maybe a point to consider. From the Airbnb website I had understood that there was a parking place on the premises, but Simona wrote that we would need to park on the street (neighborhood has paid parking all week, except from 2-9 am). However, the house caretaker said that normally guests could park behind the cottage. If you plan to come by car, this is good to clarify. On Saturday night, some teenagers came to hang out in the Lemon garden, which we thought was our area to relax if we wanted. They were quite loud, as teenagers can be. When we told them to leave at 1.30 am, they pretended to do so. Half an hour later they were back, and the next morning we found them sleeping on the trampoline. It turned out this was Simona's daughter with some friends. Simona immediately apologized and offered us a free weekend if we would come to Estoril again. Perhaps it is good to make sure she is present when you stay there. The house is literally a 5 minute walk from the train station and from the beach. To drive in the city of Lisbon I would not recommend, but off-season you could go by car to Sintra and Cabo da Roca, the westernmost point of Europe.
