My husband and I stayed in Rahim and Ilona’s most beautiful Airbnb in October this year and could not possibly have been happier with our stay…to such an extent we extended our stay to 2 weeks. It is a beautiful, three story, building less than a minute from the Cascais plaza and beach but remarkably very quiet and calm. We felt proud as we opened our front door. The interior, while totally new, has been designed and decorated maintaining the authentic features. It is obvious that the beautiful kitchen -the tiles, winding stairs, the bathroom, the furnishings and alcove ornaments have all been selected and designed with great thought. The ritual of opening and closing the shutters certainly made us feel like locals.
We absolutely loved having breakfast downstairs watching people pass occasionally. A group of tourists passing one day envied our accommodation and location. The view from the living room, top floor, is spectacular. The WiFi was great. Most mornings, I did my online pilates class on the top floor with the big windows open providing a wide eye view of the plaza, beach and sunrise over the sea. My husband, in the meantime, went for a cycle ending with coffee at the local Bijou café which was a few minutes away from our accommodation and bringing back pastries -pastel de nata - for breakfast.
Rahim was so polite, professional and accommodating and remarkably quick to reply to our requests. Check-in and check-out were seamless. Many times, during our stay, we referred to the information web link that Rahim provided as it was so useful in providing local knowledge for many aspects of our holiday. We have travelled a lot and had not seen this before.
This was out first time in Cascais and we are already planning a stay in Rahim and Ilona’s accommodation early next year.
