This is a great apartment with lots of space over 2 floors. It has a generous sized bathroom with shower bath, comfortable beds, functional kitchen, free WiFi, and a small patio overlooking the garden which gets afternoon sun. Our children (age 4 and 8) spent hours exploring the grounds, counting the frogs, fish, terrapins, tadpoles, and collecting pine cones, as well as playing in the pool, playground and indoor table tennis. The grounds are in an enclosed quiet private comdominium so felt very safe and there was often a member of staff around either by the pool koisk, trimming the garden or sweeping. There was also free tennis courts and a gym which could be used for a fee of €7.50 per month.
The location is in Monte Estoril which is 5 mins by Uber taxi (€3-€4) to either Cascais or Estoril or a 20 min walk, 30 mins by Uber to Sintra (€13- €15) , and 40mins by Uber to Lisbon airport ( €28-€30). The many beaches are a 10 min walk from the apartment with fine sand, lots of rock pools and some big waves. There is a small but well stocked Spar suppermarket 3 mins from the apartment with fresh bread, meat and cheese counters. There are other big supermarkets in Cascais (Jumbo) and an organic food market in Cascais every Wednesday and Saturday with an abundance of fresh veg, meat, bread, cheese, and fresh fish and seafood.
Margarita is a good host, she sent and email to check everything was going well and I mentioned that an air drying rack would make the apartment more functional, the next day Ana's husband arrived with one! Which was a lovely surprise.
I would highly recommend this apartment and holiday location, we will be coming back.
