This home is incredible. It is well-built, unlike a lot of vacation homes, and has been very well maintained. Note that it's not new inside -- many of the fixtures are older -- but they are taken care of, and full of really cool late 70s retro details (sunken living room, retro bathroom tiles and fixtures, etc.) We loved the huge verandas on each floor and had dinner outside many nights. We also loved the pool and the outdoor kitchen -- the wood-fired oven was amazing! It was nice to have an en suite with each bedroom, and overall the home had plenty of space for 10 adults to enjoy themselves without ever feeling cramped. Little spaces like the second floor solarium, full of gorgeous plants, were wonderful. You can walk to the beach, Cascais old town, and the train station in about 10 minutes, and there's a large grocery store just down the hill (5 mins on foot), which was really convenient. Rita was a very helpful host, quick to respond and easy to work with.
