The owner quickly and kindly replied to all my questions and addressed small requests, I have only good experience with her / her family. The place was exactly as nice as we hoped for: spatious, cool and cosy rooms, nice terrasse and garden, all equipments necessary - and even more (small things like some toys for children, beach towels, a litre of milk in the fridge etc.). The area is very calm but just 5 minutes from the beach, perfect for a family. The appartment is only several steps from the railway station so that you can reach Lisbon in half an hour.
