This was a perfect home away from home for a few days, we had the beautiful house, swimming pool and vistas all to ourselves, and the daily bread was a nice treat from João!
The host was discreet but always available and we felt very comfortable. The house has evth one needs, and is true to the descriptions provided.
We didn't have a car, but taxis (Uber etc) were easily available and we used them to bring back our shopping (the uphill walk from the supermarket to the house is more enjoyable without a bag full of groceries/bottles; but otherwise doable for small things) and to go for the evening to the Cascais marina, or to the cabo da roca.
Hiking trails are reachable behind the house on foot, and there weren't many people on them at the start of June.
