Claudio was a wonderful host! He welcomed us at the train station and gave us a short tour of the main areas in Cascais before dropping us at the studio. The studio was lovely - very well furnished and equipped, with a great view. There are convenience stores located close to the studio, and the beach and central area of Cascais is a short (approx. 15 - 20 minute) walk away. We were very impressed with Claudio, his studio, and Cascais in general. We will definitely be making a return trip!
