This is a really comfortable apartment in a really good location. The brief online description is hiding a bit of a treasure really.

The lounge faces west and has nice views of the ocean and Cascais bay. Open the windows on both sides of the home and most evenings there's a beautiful breeze to keep you cool.

It's a short walk downhill to the beach and the train station...but that means it's bit of a drag up the hill on the way home. A car isn't essential, as well as the train (Lisbon to Cascais) there is a bus stop 5 minutes away and taxis are plentiful and cheap and can be booked online.

There are plenty of cafe's/bars/restaurants/supermarkets in the neighbourhood. 10 minutes walk to an Intermarche and a good Indian restaurant and there are lots of places in Sao Joao do Estoril near the beach and the station. Walk 15 minutes and you are in the centre of Estoril where there are even more bars, cafe's, restaurants and beaches as well as a really good upscale supermarket.

Even though the condo block itself is a bit dated, with the exception of the kitchen and bathrooms, the space inside has been recently and beautifully decorated throughout. Comfortable sofas and beds.The kitchen is well equipped.

Helena was always available and speaks perfect English.

This place is close enough to everything to be really convenient yet just far enough away from everything so you dont get bothered by the usual hullaballoo of a seaside resort.
