15 Reviews of Property 419584 in Cascais, Portugal

We agree with all the other reviews of this apartment. Pedro was there promptly to meet us on arrival show us around and give us lots of tips regarding places to shop for food and dine out. He couldn't have been more helpful, and when we contacted him later re small matters eg lots of light bulbs not working he promptly appeared with replacements and changed them himself. On departure my wife left a gold earring in the bedroom and was terribly upset as they were an anniversary present from years ago- Pedro once again came up trumps and not only found it on the third search!! after the next tenants had left but posted it safely to us in the uk- bravo Pedro.
The apartment is exactly as it looks in the pictures and our party of 4 thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The pools are delightful, gardens lovely, gym sauna etc all good. Our only small grumble about the outside is the fact that the boards around the pool get very hot and when wet are a little slippy.
Inside the apartment we agree with comments about lack of loo roll and other basic amenities eg no dishwasher tabs etc. A shelf in the shower would be good for shampoo etc.
Cascais is delightful and everyone we met was so very kind and helpful. Sintra is beautiful and well worth the trip. Lisbon also well worth a visit-easily done by train. All in all a lovely holiday would definitely return.

Just returned from this lovely, comfortable, luxurious apartment which is in safe, well maintained grounds with 24 hour security guard at the entry to complex. Beautiful balcony. The whole apartment was absolutely spotless. Plenty of good quality crockery, glasses, pans etc. Indoor and outdoor pools stunning. Cascais has lovely restaurants but if you wish to self-cater – there are plenty bakeries, supermarkets etc. We didn’t hire a car–we didn’t need one. There is a bus stop near the entrance to the complex with bus right to the centre of Cascais but taxis are very reasonable indeed. There are regular trains to Lisbon and local buses to Sintra etc. Two lifts to apartment, so ideal for elderly or buggies. We felt there could have been more towels supplied (and oan ven glove) and spare toilet paper would have been nice and some basic essentuals! (ie hand soap and cleaning fluids) Overall - highly recommended!

My family stayed here in October for a week. The apartment was extreemly well appointed - high quality furniture and appliances. It was immaculately clean when we arrived. The weather turned stormy - but it didn't seem to matter as we were so comfortable in the apartment. Michael and Pedro were very attentive and helpful. We would have no hetitation in returning !
We must recommend a local restaurant (ate there 3 times in the week!) - "Mar Do Inferno" -which is on the seafront - a 10 minute walk from the apartment.. Fabulously fresh seafood. We hired a car- so did all the touristy things like visiting Lisbon and Sintra, but Cascais is a charming town and an easy 15min stroll from the apartment.

My family have just returned from staying at this apartment and we cannot speak highly enough of it. This really is ultimate luxury - from the extremely large and impressive apartment to the multiple outdoor/indoor swimming pools and gym.

The apartment itself is just a 15minute walk from the great town centre along a stunning promenade and just 5 minutes from a selection of great restaurants which cater for all types of food requirements.

Our daily routine consisted of going to the local bakery for some fresh bread and unbelievable cakes, then strolling down to the town centre which has real character and great beaches, coming back to relax by the pool or on balcony and then a meal in the evening at one of the great local restaurants... it's a life we could certainly get used to!

In summary, this apartment really could cater for anyone... from romantic break away or family holiday... we'll certainly be going back as soon as we can.

Thanks also to Pedro for being so responsive and making the holiday planning easy...

Thanks... Colin and family

Really lovely modern, spacious apartment, 2 pools and grounds immaculately kept, and secure parking out of the heat which was very helpful.
Apartment block is in a great location - About a 20 min walk into Cascais centre but lots of lovely restaurants within a 5-10 min walk, and fantastic bakery (and small supermarket) 5 mins away to get fresh bread every morning!!
Didnt use beaches in centre of Cascais, but amazing uncrowded beaches at Guincho (10 mins north) and Adraga and Grande (20-30 mins). Worth a visit if only to see the amazing surf and body boarders! Sintra is spectacular and a definite 'must see', so car hire an advantage.
The only improvement would be mirrors in the bedrooms as the only ones are in the bathrooms and lounge, which makes it difficult to dry hair etc.!
Would definitely recommend the apartment - we loved it so much we have already booked for next year!

This beautiful and spacious 1st floor appartment was exactly as described and immaculatly clean . The location was great a short walk from the sea and 20 mins walk into Cascais. The gardens and complex were very well kept and we enjoyed the pools to ourselves most of the time. The owner was helpful and accomodating. Having a maid clean a couple of times was especially nice. The kitchen appliances were top quality but we took advantage of the local restaurants so did no serious cooking. Sitting for our meals on the terrace was a joy. A local supermarket and bakery were a 5 minute walk so fresh bread for breakfast. The wifi was a great bonus.
There was a little style over practicality - no mirrors or waste bins in the bedrooms we had to do our hair and makeup in the hallway. Two of the bedrooms were beautiful but the twin room was basic with no curtain even. No storage or shelf in bathroom or shower for anything. At this level of appartment I would also expect tolilet paper provided at least for a few days.
A lovely base for a holiday and recommended for a restful break.

My family of 4 adults had a lovely and relaxing Time at Scala 2. The gated apartments gave a secure and safe feel to the whole complex.Underground car parking with lifts to the apartments was a relief after a long day at the fabulous Guicho Beach. Watching the surfers just off the beach made a fascinating change from the sun beds around the relaxed pool at Scala.
The apartment is well clean and very well appointed and the owner Pedro extremely helpful.
Would not hesitate to recommend to family and friends and will definately return.

Really enjoyed our stay in Scala apartments, Cascais. It was everything we hoped it would be and more. Its very difficult taking away 4 tennagers and expecting everyone to get along and enjoy themselves, but in Cascais it worked out. The town was compact enough to be able to navigate around without difficulty, it had all the amenities needed for a successful holiday - beaches, restaurants, plenty of visually interesting touist spots in the near vicinity. The apartment was superb and offered plenty of space to make everyone feel they could have a little quiet time, it was well equipped with the facilities you normally leave behind at home (cable TV, washing machine and dryer, American style fridge/freezer and all great branded/quality equipment, in short, a real home-from-home. For the teenagers the inddor and outdoor pool, and gym got planty of use. Even the security at the apartment entrance were pleasant and happy.

Our teenage troop were 20, 18, 18 and 16 and with each passing year we wonder if this will be the last we can keep them all together, so its doubly important for everyone to look back with fond memories, and in Cascais without a doubt we achieved that. When everyone has a good time they are encouraged to keep saying they want to come out of choice. A truly memorable holiday, a truly memorable location and the foundation of all was our temporary home, a truly memorable apartment experience.

Thankyou to Pedro for making it so easy, with good instructions on arrival and smooth on departure, an efficient and pleasant experience.
