About this property

Portugal is a great holiday deal when you live like the residents. In this apartment, ideally located along the coast between Lisbon and Cascais, in the charming village of Carcavelos, you will do just that.

This recently refurbished apartment near the best beach on the Lisbon coastline is modest but has charm and all the amenities. An open floor plan and a wrap-around balcony with French doors offers a light-filled living and dining area with ocean breezes year round.

The longest beach along the Lisbon/Cascais coast is minutes away with a long boardwalk, more restaurants and bars from which to watch magnificent sunsets, all manner of water sports. Carcavelos is host to international surfing, kite surfing and wind surfing contests. The imposing 16C fort of Sao Juliao de Barra, once a political prison sits sentry at one end of the beach and at the other is an outcropping of ocean rock locally renowned for it's curative iodine.

Nearby, two popular hotels have pool, gym and conference facilities available at a per diem rate. There is a taxi stand and a tennis club and a small shopping center that offers every service needed.

With shopping, dining and excellent public transportation close by there is no need for a car but rental agencies are just a few minutes up the train line. Carcavelos is equally accessible to Lisbon with it's rich history and culture, Estoril with it's famous Casino and Cascais, a picturesque fishing village. Nearby is the beautiful mountain retreat of Sintra, the seat of the Portuguese royals and aristocracy with a palace, a castle and Moorish ramparts.

Tourism guidebooks in the apartment and a local contact will help you plan your vacation. Guided car tours are available and we will do our best to accommodate any special needs.

Excellent location - A home from home

This apartment is light, airy and spacious. It's really well equipped in the kitchen and enabled us to eat at home most evenings, which was just what we wanted. The location is excellent: A five minute walk to the beach; a five minute walk to the supermarket; a two minute walk to a selection of cafés and restaurants and really close to the main road that runs between Cascais and Lisbon. Beds, sofas and furniture were all comfortable. The main bathroom had a lovely shower and bath and was beautifully tiled. The only negative we found was that we didn't use the second bathroom, preferring to keep the door shut because of the bad smell from the drains. We visit Carcavelos frequently and will definitely look to rent this apartment again - We couldn't have asked for more!

Gorgeous Apartment in a Perfect Location for Exploring Lisbon and it's Stunning Coastline

we have just returned from a wonderful week in Carcavelos, Lisbon. On arrival you are met by Cassie who gives you the lowdown on the area. She is extremely helpful, friendly and knowledgeable. Although predominantly a residential area it has everything you need to hand for a great stay. Location wise it is perfect. 2 mins from a fantastic beach, the best we went to in fact. There you will find really good restaurants which are mentioned in the apartment guide book. Great service, fabulous food, lovely people. There are also restaurants, cafes and a shopping centre around the corner. Great coffee and pastries in the morning ! The actual apartment, although it looks quite average on the outside is a little gem. It has everything you need. It is bright, spacious, airy, beautifully decorated, has all mod cons, a great shower, huge balcony and comfy beds. 10 minutes walk from the train station which takes you to Lisbon or to Cascais in the other direction. Both are must see's for the food, hustle and bustle but it really is lovely coming home to your quiet apartment to chill out after a busy day sightseeing. We would highly recommend this apartment and area. If we ever come back to Portugal we would definitely stay here again. Thank you so much !!!

About the host

Hosted by Malcolm Macdonald

My sister and I inherited this apartment from my mother. We spent our teenage years as American ex-pats in this apartment before we both moved back to the USA for school, work, then marriage and family. We commuted daily by train to school in Lisbon. We made lasting friendships and feel very connected to Portugal. We wish we could be there more often. Recently we renovated the apartment in the hope that more people will enjoy what we enjoy and that it will be used more frequently. The neighbors are very pleasant as is the location. We have friends and connections that can help us personalize a visit for you with insider information and recommendations.

Why they chose this property

Our mother chose this apartment (which we have since inherited) because of it's location. She never drove and it is ideally located to public transportation. It is in a residential neighborhood with every amenity and is close to one of the more popular and best beaches along this remarkable coast line. Our mother chose Portugal because of it's beauty, unique character (very different from Spain) and because it was less expensive than the rest of Europe. It still is. We refurbished and furnished the apartment to accommodate today's needs and it is a modest but sunny, happy and comfortable home with modern conveniences.

What makes this property unique

I return to Portugal at least once a year to visit friends and revisit fond memories. Growing up in Portugal was a great experience and it spoiled me for food and wine. You really have to work hard to get a bad meal anywhere in Portugal. Eating out and outdoor cafe life is very much a part of the experience. After 35 years, the country still surprises me with it's easy hospitality and charm, diverse influences, incredible history, artisans, culture and earthiness .
