Joana is very helpful and responded quickly to all our requests with lots of local information. The house is set on a complex of private houses (most not occupied) which meant that each day we had a choice of three different swimming pools, all within 2 min walks of the house. The tennis court looked great but unfortunately we didn't have racquets with us. The complex is 2 mins drive from a small village with a good supermarket and great bakery. Cascais is a 20 min drive along the stunning coast road, and it is only 30 mins drive into central Lisbon or to the airport. A car is essential, but with it the location is very peaceful while everything you want is in easy striking distance. For our family of four the house was a perfect size, the beds were comfortable and the kitchen had all we needed. Thank you Joana for a great stay!
