Unfortunately, we did not meet Simona as she and her family were away for that period but her daughter did her best to make us feel welcome. It is a very nice cottage with lovely interior. The design and decorations are very pleasing. It is in a very convenient location and easy to get to the beach and train. Estoril is a great place to be based for a holiday or a few days and the beach and restaurants are lovely. A very multi-cultural experience.
