The Penthouse 8B201

What a beautiful place and exactly what we saw in the walk through video provided on the owners web site. The attention to detail was wonderful from a full welcome pack on arrival to flowers and more! The place is modern, clean and very well provided with DVD player with a great selection of DVD's which the kids loved and an iPod docking station and CD player again with loads of good CD's which the wife loved! The high speed internet and high definition TV was what I loved!

The kids had a great time and having the tennis courts and swimming pool on site and so close was a great relief so it meant we did not have to drive the kids around all day. The local shops are very cute indeed and we found the most wonderful bakery and butchery which we went to almost every day. Thank you for a wonderful stay, next year we hope to have a two week holiday instead of a week as there is so much to see and right on the doorstep too!

This apartment is set in a beautiful gated, secure compound. The apartment itself is clean, spacious, modern and tastefully decorated making it extremely comfortable. The complex is set in a Portuguese village location where all the locals meet to chat and let the time go by in the village square. The village bakery and other small shops were more than adequate especially the delicious bread, rolls and cakes! Though English was limited, the phrase book at the apartment helped us to communicate more easily.
We enjoyed the contrast of the quiet surroundings of the village to the lively fun and entertainment of Cascais. After a great day on the beach it was nice to come back to the complex for a quiet swim and a game of tennis, then a glass of wine on the balcony before dinner! This is a wonderful place to stay whether you are a family, a young or an older couple.

We booked it last minute and found it exactly as outlined on the video on the site. Excellent customer service helped us along.

Well located, although a ten min drive from the beach (car essential!) we got out and explored Portugal having never been on holiday there.

Shopping nearby supermarkets was easy, and we found the local bakery and coffee shop too late..! Worth taking your own oils and spices if you are like me and really want to let go in the kitchen. Also found the small shop in town who makes local spicy chicken to go... local "Nando's style" (you have to get the chips from the place next door...). Ate too much that evening! :)

Fantastic time had by all. Sintra and the castle and palace is an absolute must... could not believe how much the kids enjoyed that. Lots of cool coffee shops and boutique shops in the local towns nearby.

Our kids spent endless hours at the on-site pool and tennis courts, almost to the point of having to wrestle them back inside, and even went a whole day where we never made it off the complex. Very lazy indeed.

We made full use of the BBQ (braai) on the balcony and - most importantly - there was no shortage of sunshine. The TV sat neglected until the last night...

Only complaint was it was too short! should do two weeks next time.
