Carcavelos beach can be reached by a 10 minute walk from Fernando's therefore making it an ideal location for someone looking for some beach time. In the surrounding you can also find a mall (Riviera) with a supermarket (Pingo doce) within 5 minutes walking which takes you through a nice park. You can find restaurants also within 5 minutes of walk in each direction. The apartment is halfway between the Parede and the Carcavelos train station of the Linea Cascais, you can reach either in 15 minutes walking. From there you can visit Cascais (10 min ride) or take the train to the city and arrive to the busy Cais do Sodre (30 min ride). In conclusion the apartment is in a great location for all types of trips. The apartment is in the second floor but the steeps are not too steep so the lack of elevator is not a problem. The apartment is well divided, all rooms are spacious enough for a week or twos stay. I have not lacked anything in the house, from ironing board to hairdryer, dishwasher you can find everything. The wifi is fast, so I did not have trouble with working from the apartment. I really appreciated the electronic blinds with which you can turn the entire house into pitch black darkness.
Everything looks brand new and the house was very clean. Christiny who was there to greet me at arrival was wonderful, helpful and very kind. The single negative thing I could mention is the thinness of the walls, you can hear the neighbours watch tv but I am a heavy sleeper so this did not bother me.
