Vania’s apartment is very stylish and provides a nice air conditioned space to relax in. It’s on the 5th floor of a residential block of apartments and we did not hear noise from other residents during our stay. It’s a 15 minute walk to Carcavelos train station and 10 mins to the beach. There is a main road which runs behind the apartment block so it’s noisy at times, mainly due to motor bikes. It’s a nice neighbourhood with a local convenience store a short walk away. Carcavelos has the largest beach along the coastline from Lisbon to Cascais so it gets very busy indeed with holiday makers. The pizza restaurant is fab, don’t be put off by the long queues, you won’t wait long. The short train ride into Lisbon is a huge bonus, it’s a fabulous city. Vania is a great host and her communication with us was great throughout. We would definitely recommend her place!
