Summary:
A lovely little vintage cottage built in the late 1940's and comfortably decorated for a perfect holiday. Enjoy the sunny outdoor terrace for relaxing and dining. This gorgeous little place is idyllically located in the heart of a typical Portuguese community in Cascais. The space is cosy and suited to a maximum of 4 persons sharing (preferably 2 adults and 2 children as this is not a large cottage.
The Space:
You have the option to relax in a little reading corner, lounge on the sofa and watch your favourite series on Netflix or just quietly enjoy a glass of wine or breakfast on the private terrace. We have tried to decorate it in a very comfortable way in order to give you the best holiday experience ever. We don't want to hide the fact that the washing machine is placed on the patio and the oven is an older gas oven so please be aware of these things if you do book our lovely little home.
We hope to welcome you!
Guest Access:
We offer a complementary meet and greet service until 8pm
The Neighborhood:
Part of Cobre neighbourhood, just a short distance from the Cascais Fire Station and CUF hospital, this small little enclave of cottages is tucked away just above the river “Ribeira das Vinhas” and the valley that follows down to Cascais. It has a supermarket at the end of the road and a coffee shop just 300m. You can buy fresh bread locally each morning and soak up the local Portuguese community going about their everyday life in the small village called SantAna.
Getting Around:
There is a bus which leaves from about 50m from the cottage into the town center. Alternatively, you can hire bicycles and cycle along the cycle paths down to the center, the marina or the beaches. It would be a 25-minute walk to the center of Cascais, 29 minutes to the Cascais train station and a couple of minutes more to the closest beach. The marina is a 30-minute walk. Its less than a 5-minute journey into the center by car or bus.
Other Things to Note:
#While the kitchen does provide gas oven and stovetop, due to its simplicity and compact layout, its only really suitable for basic cooking.#

If you would like to have additional sets of linen or need to hire baby or beach equipment, we have an array of amenities we can offer. Please ask us for more information. Alternatively, your guest area will also have these items once you have booked. We are also able to arrange airport transfers and day trips with baby seats if needed.

This tax contributes to the maintenance of local facilities and applies to tourists regardless of nationality. It is the host’s responsibility to collect the tax at the prevailing rate and pass it on to the respective municipalities/regions. Rates can vary from year to year and between different councils. Please check your reservation for details.
