Beautiful apartment, situated in a peaceful location, about 20 minutes walk from the town of Cascais. Apartment was extremely clean, spacious and very well furnished. Kitchen was modern and well kitted out (dishwasher, washing machine, microwave, coffee machine and large fridge freezer. Apartment had a large balcony with chairs, table and two recliners, ideal for sunbathing, and a lovely sea view. Added bonus of a beautiful pool, plus children’s pool, with sun beds provided. Landscaped grounds surrounded the pool so gave a real feeling of space. We were transported from Lisbon airport by Ketan, agent for the apartment – very friendly, helpful guy who was well informed regarding the apartments and surrounding area.
There is a small supermarket across the road from the apartments and also Lidl, which is about 10 minutes walk if a larger shopping trip is required (very reasonable prices).
Cascais is a really pretty resort with cobbled streets and attractive buildings. There are a good choice of restaurants, bars and shops. There is a walkway and cycle path which runs either way from the apartment along the sea front so there are some fantastic views. The walkway continues from Cascais along the front to Estoril for a longer stroll The train station is situated in the town centre with regular trains to Lisbon etc. There is also a double-decker open-top sight-seeing bus which stops near the Hotel Baia on the front in Cascais. This offers a very scenic journey along the coast to Lisbon, with the added bonus of a hop-on, hop-off facility once in the city.
All in all, a very attractive resort and a really lovely apartment, one which we would recommend to anyone wanting to stay in this area.
