Read More...We enjoyed our stay in this charming and spacious apartment with three terraces all with views of the sea. It was warm and sunny the whole time we were in Cascais so we ate all our meals outside. Cascais is a great place to explore the coast - we found a great restaurant on the beach some distance away at Praia Grande Colares. Lisbon is a short train ride away and if you can cope with the crowds the Unesco Site of Sintra is worth visiting. We were given plenty of information about the shopping. There is a small but friendly supermarket at the bottom of the next block of flats and a bakery at the corner of the next street. We found the local market was good for fruit and vegetable. We really enjoyed our stay at this delightful apartment.
