We had an amazing time. The house is beautiful and spotlessly clean. The accommodation was perfect for us. Much more room than the photos suggest. We loved being able to relax by the pool and we liked that we were only a short taxi ride into Cascais - which is glorious.
There is a shop at the end of the street. Literally 1 minute walk away. It’s a lovely deli - expensive but convenient . We were able to get milk, bread, ham and cheese that we made for breakfast. Other meals we had out although we were welcomed to use the kitchen if we needed to.
We had the perfect host- so friendly, helpful and kind. Nothing was too much trouble. She left us fruit, biscuits and water for when we arrived and made us little treats during our stay.
Cascais is a beautiful place. We used Uber to get about which was very convenient. We went to the beach at Estoril and took the bus to Sintra. (Well worth a visit.) Alexandre’s mum rang him so he could speak to us and advise us on transport options which was very kind.
We arrived by taxi via Sun transfers which I found on google. It was approximately 45€. We took the train back to Lisbon which was only 2.75€! Very straightforward and allowed us to spend a couple of hours in Lisbon before our flight home. Lisbon was extremely busy and having spent that time there, we are so glad we went to the suburbs rather than stay in the city.
We highly recommend staying here. We would definitely return.
