Description of the home we are offering for exchange
Our home a spacious, 6 bedroom, semi-detached casa with pool in Cascais. The house has all the things you need to have a memorable trip in this beautiful part of the world. Enjoy a relaxing day on the deck or around the pool, or get out and about and fall in love with Cascais. Everything is within easy access of the house. It's best to have a car as there is so much to discover in this part of the world, and you'll want to be able to get around. Otherwise, you can take a 20 minute walk into the town centre and weave your way down on to the beaches, hop on a bus just around the corner, or just call an Uber.

Description of our neighbourhood and surrounding area
Cobre is a great location. It is very central and has easy access to many beautiful attractions in the area.
Up the road from the house there is a little shop and small local café. Perfect if you need to quickly pick up a few basic bits.
A 20 minute walk will take you down into Cascais centre. In the main village you will find beautiful cobbled roads lined with cafés and boutiques, markets and general hustle and bustle. You will also find exquisite beaches to relax on.
If you don't fancy the walk, there is a bus stop just around the corner from the house.
Also, everything is really accessible by car. We have easy access to the A5 highway which can take you to Sintra, Lisbon, and more.

Our home exchange - here are our Preferences and House Rules
Please keep the house neat and tidy (we will do the same with yours :). No smoking at all in the house please. Enjoying the outdoor area / pool / barbecue is more than welcome, but please consider the neighbours after 10pm. In Portugal (And Europe in general) the plumbing pipes tend to be quite narrow, so it's VERY important that no foreign objects are flushed down the toilet - only toilet paper please.
