Everything was perfect

We stayed as a family of five and had a fantastic time. The apartment was spotless, beautifully decorated with excellent facilities, and was very spacious with plenty of room for all of us to relax. We were warmly welcomed by our incredibly friendly host Alex with a bottle of wine and delicious Portuguese biscuits, which was such a thoughtful touch.   He went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed and gave us great local tips, too. The location was ideal, just a short walk to great restaurants, shops, a supermarket, and the beach. One of the best places we’ve stayed in. Thank you, Alex, we hope to return soon!

There was nothing here not to love.

The warmest welcome with delicious home made Cascais biscuits and a wealth of useful information. A beautiful apartment with a proper eat in kitchen and a shared pool in a beautiful location, a very reasonable uber ride from the airport. Also walking distance to various Cascais cultural sites, the harbour and old town. 188 was hard to leave.

Nothing really! The pool was quite cold but that's to be expected in early April.

This apartment was exactly like in photos and more spacious than expected. It was spotlessly clean and the location was convenient to Cascais centre (approx 20 mins walk / 5 mins cheap Uber). The pool and outdoor terrace were lovely and there's a big supermarket and a few restaurants just across the road. Alex was a super friendly host and made us feel very welcome. He even kindly let us check in early /out late as the apartment was free, which was much appreciated given our many bags and small child! Its a great spot, we would highly recommend!

As for the downsides—though they are quite subjective—there’s no bidet or hygienic shower. Personally, I also felt there wasn’t enough storage space, but we stayed for a month in winter with a small child, plus a friend and her child. In total, we were three adults and two kids. Also, at first, there was a slight musty smell, but it disappeared once we started living there, airing the place out, and during cleaning, it seemed to be treated properly. However, these are minor things that only became noticeable during a long stay.

If you want to gaze at the stars and the moon while sitting on a terrace under the open sky, this is the place for you. In the summer, it must be even better because there’s a beautifully lit pool in the yard. Stargazing in Portugal is a special kind of pleasure—the night sky here is breathtaking. Plus, there’s a huge pine tree in the yard that adds to the atmosphere. And it’s incredibly quiet. The yard and the entire house are well-maintained and tidy. The apartments are bright, well-equipped, and comfortable. We stayed for a month and felt great. Yes, there were a few minor issues, but Alex was always quick to respond and fix them. The beds, mattresses, and linens are excellent. The kitchen is very well stocked. Everything is clean and tidy, giving the impression that it’s all brand new. The layout of the rooms and bathrooms is very convenient—the second bedroom has its own bathroom. The doors are solid, and the kitchen has good soundproofing. The windows are high-quality. The location is excellent. There’s a supermarket nearby with a great selection, a pharmacy just a couple of doors away, and playgrounds within a 15-17 minute walk—both in the city center and near the synagogue. It takes 10-15 minutes to walk to the ocean, depending on the spot. Guia Park is a 15-minute walk away. There is plenty of parking space on the road near the house, plus you can park in the yard. Very convenient for families with children, especially in the summer season. Alex is the best landlord we’ve ever met—it’s hard to find someone more meticulous and attentive.

I recently had the pleasure of staying in a fantastic apartment with my parents, and I can recommend it highly enough! From the moment we arrived, we were greeted by the incredibly welcoming owner Mr Alexandre, who went above and beyond to ensure our stay was perfect. The apartment itself was immaculate and beautifully maintained, offering a clean and comfortable environment to relax after a day of exploring. The lovely pool area was a highlight for us, providing a refreshing escape where we could soak up the sun and unwind together. The location couldn’t have been better! We were within walking distance of local attractions, restaurants, and shops, making it easy to immerse ourselves in the local culture. It was the ideal spot for a family vacation. Overall, our experience was truly wonderful, thanks to the awesome owner who was always available to help us with anything we needed. If you’re looking for a clean, comfortable place to stay with an amazing host in a prime location, this is the place to be! We can’t wait to return!

Nothing we loved our stay here!

Beautiful newly furnished apartment. It was exceptionally clean and very comfortable. We had a small baby and on arrival highchair and travel cot set up and made up for us. Alex the host was wonderful and gave great insight into the area and was on hand for any issues. Check in was easy and apartment is in a convenient location close to supermarkets and a nice walk to parks, the sea and the center and well serviced by buses. The pool was a lovely spot to lounge around as well.

Would have liked some plastic glasses for pool / terrace area.

Lovely apartment, excellent condition and well equipped. We loved the pool and terrace. Really close to an excellent supermarket and close to restaurants and the centre of Cascais. Alex was a very helpful, welcoming host who ensured we were well looked after.

We loved everything

Alex was a wonderful and very welcoming host. We didn't arrive until 12.30am due to some luggage issues. Alex was very understanding and still spent a lot of time showing us around and going through all the facilities. He also gave us some very helpful tips and advice on places to visit during our stay. The apartment was spacious and very clean. Everything worked well. Air conditioning in all rooms. Large supermarket 2 minutes walk away which opens until 9.30pm every day ( there are a few cafes at the supermarket too.) Pharmacy beside the apartment. Nice patio area and small garden area. The pool was a good size and was very refreshing. The immediate area is very peaceful. 15 minutes walk will have you in Cascais which has a large selection of restaurants, bars, shops etc. There is a footpath along the coast into town. Lovely views as you walk. Train station about 30 minutes walk away. Train journey to Lisbon takes about 40 mins. Trains leave every 20 mins until about 1am. Sintra is a lovely place to visit. We did a day trip there. We loved Cascais and would love to go back again. Remember to pack comfortable shoes though - there are cobblestone paths everywhere!

The welcome gifts from the host of traditional Portuguese biscuits from the area and wine were both lovely and thoughtful.

There was a shared laundry, though this cost extra to use. It wasn't a huge amount, but was unexpected.

The location was great for us. It was a 10 minute walk to the coast, about 20 minutes to town. Parking outside was easy, and we loved the garden behind the property.

There was nothing to fault.

The apartment feels brand new and was spotlessly clean when we arrived. We have spent a month there and it had all the necessities and appliances we could possibly need. Alexandre, the owner, is a great host and was available to assist us throughout our stay.

No negatives at all

Apartment is fabulous. Much better in real life even than the pictures. We were on the ground floor with patio extending to garden and pool area which was perfect with 3 young kids. The location is great, about a 15-20m walk to beautiful cascais and a short walk to casa de Guia for restaurant options at night. Alex was a fantastic host and was always on hand for any advice/queries.

Nothing!

We have travelled the world but this apartment was one of the best we have ever stayed in. It was immaculate, comfortable, beautifully decorated and thought out. The location was a 15mins easy walk to restaurants and shops, 2mins to a fantastic supermarket and just under 20mins walk to the train station and beaches. The host Alex couldn't do enough for us and was on hand whenever we needed him. He really has thought about everything in the apartment as well as offering you the best experience, local knowledge and a welcome gift including his yummy 'sand' biscuits. Thanks Alex we will be back!

There is nothing to disappoint.

Very comfortable, well decorated, clean and well situated apartment. Separate kitchen from the living room is very pleasant. Free parking and walking distance to city center (15 minutes). Host Alexandre is extremely helpful: he extended the check-out time, because it was possible and arranged an extra sleeping place for an unexpected guest for one night.
