Simona's cottage is absolutely perfect for anyone looking to spend a relaxing vacation by the beach. From the beginning, she was highly communicative and flexible regarding check-in and check-out. The apartment itself is exactly as featured in the pictures. Small, perfect for two people, with just the right amount of extra furniture and a small, well-equipped, kitchenette. The garden outside is lovely and it is less than five minutes to the beach and casino and about a 15 to 20-minute walk to the heart of Cascais. It is extremely quiet and peaceful but close to amazing food and fun. The best part however was the shower. Words cannot express how amazing the shower is. Coming from somewhere showers have to be short, I felt guilty because I simply would not leave it. I would happily stay here again.
