Being quite familiar, we booked Maria Ana's villa for a our family of 8 adults and 2 infants during the Christmas holiday. Check in was a breeze as Maria Ana and her sister were awaiting us upon arrival. The house was decorated for the holidays and she had a lunch spread prepared with local favorites as it was Christmas Eve when we arrived. The house is just as described with plenty of space for all of us. Ample parking for the two cars we had rented. The views are amazing....what a delight to wake up to every morning! The house is within walking distance to downtown Cascais which has a train that takes you straight into downtown Lisbon. Driving to many locations downtown took no more than 30-35 mins. Definitely a nice oasis to return to after a day of exploring the bustling city Lisbon. All issues/questions we had were addressed immediately. All in all, we had a wonderful stay. This gracious host made the experience all the more enjoyable!
