We arrived at Maria Anna's villa after 4 days celebrating a family wedding. We were a large group of 11 adults, 3 children and 2 newborn babies. We were greeted by the lovely Maria Anna and her niece Charlotte with drinks and nibbles, which was a lovely touch. We were all immediately impressed with the overall appearance of the house. Overall, it is larger than it seems. There was sufficient bedroom space for us all and a very large living/dining room as well as a separate kitchen and a separate dining room. We loved to gather in the large living room in the evenings. Outside, there is a beautiful pool surrounded by plenty of sunbeds and a very large dining table with chairs. This is a sunny garden which got plenty of sun between 11 and 5. The house was spotless from top to bottom when we arrived and as we were staying 10 nights it was cleaned halfway through our stay. The decor is a mix of classic and modern with lovely touches. Although large, it has a cosy feel and it's clear that it is a much-loved family home. The villa is a ten minute walk downhill to the beautiful town of Cascais and there are 2 large supermarkets within walking distance. Don't worry, there are plenty of taxis for the uphill walk home, if you don't fancy it! Maria Anna was an excellent host. Nothing was a problem for her. If you are considering a group holiday, I could not recommend this villa enough. Thank you Maria Anna for making your beautiful house available to us.
