We had a wonderful time. The property is stunning and Joao and his dog Mozart are perfect hosts. They're on-hand if needed yet also respect privacy.
The town is small but wonderful and very well equipped with a convenience store and some great places to eat. Plenty of locals and next-to-no tourists, it really does feel like a hidden gem. Make sure to have a car handy, as Cascais is well worth a visit and only 17mins away on very easy roads.
