If you are looking for a private place away from all the city noise but close enough to the city to visit anytime then this is the best place for you. Groceries and restaurants are within walking distance. We went in the winter but if it was in the summer we would have gone to the beach every day because it was a very short walk. The train into Lisbon is also very close and takes around 20-25 minutes to arrive into the city center of Lisbon.
