We really enjoyed our stay in Cascais and in Joana's house. It feels like a family home and we felt very comfortable there. It's really close to the beach so easy to come back and forth in the heat of the day. Joana's lovely shop is just around the corner so it was easy to ask if we had any questions. The only negative is the late night and early morning noise but we noticed this less as the week went on and it's what you get for being so central.
Joana is a lovely, helpful host and we hope to go back.
