We found the flat had everything we needed, with good local restaurants and bars a short stroll away. Our favourite aspect was the fantastic pool which we often had to ourselves. Delightful! Rahim gave us tips and took time to introduce the flat, the amenities and helped us to get our holiday started with a few treats in the flat. We really enjoyed our time getting to know the surrounding area. Walking into town took 35-40 minutes (sometimes longer in hot sun which slowed us)
from the apartment, which we did most days taking in the sea views heading to visit places like the food market, the park and historic buildings. You’re not in town but Uber cabs are cheap and easy to come by if you can manage the walking. The incredible surf beach was a short drive from the apartment, and although not suitable for swimming, it was stunning to visit for the immense waves and spectacular landscape. Also taking the easy bus ride to Sintra for a day out was well worth the effort, but there is a lot to see there so set off early to make the most of it. We took the long coastal bus there which also meant we got to see Cabo da Roca. Again worth seeing. The flat is lovely, well equipped and very clean and it’s well placed for a great holiday!
