The Neighborhood:
For the very young or young at heart, take a stroll through the local park (Parque Municipal da Gandarinha) in Cascais located opposite the marina and beside the cultural centre. Feed the ducks - or just sit at the local café and read a book whilst the peacocks strut around you. Sit out in the late afternoon sun and enjoy the sunset on the Esplanade Beach Bar in Cascais (Praia da Rainha) whilst enjoying champagne or sangria or perhaps at Casa da Guia over a sun down cocktail, while the sun disappears behind the ocean. If you have spent the day on Guincho Beach, the most romantic sunsets can be viewed from the Abano Beach Bar (BG Bar).
Parque Marechal Carmona - one single space resulting from the marriage of the gardens of the Palace of the Conde of Castro Guimarães and the property of the Visconde of Gandarinha. Apart from an abundance of exotic trees and shrubs, the tranquility of this park offers curious hiding places to quietly read a book or romantic tree lined pathways. Wander around the small ponds, infant playground, mini zoo, aviary, youth library, duck pond, café, museum, chapel, rose gardens, etc. right in the heart of Cascais! Open 8.30-19.45 summer & 8.30-17.45 winter. Bicycles can be hired locally (no charge) in Cascais and there is a bicycle path which stretches for miles along the beautiful coastline to Guincho Beach. Another useful service is the “Giro” Bus to CascaisShopping - a popular shopping mall on the outskirts of Cascais & Estoril.
Local activities include diving, surfing, swimming, tennis, walking, sailing, cycling, fishing, horse riding, golf, wind-surfing, water skiing, mountain biking, mountaineering, rollerblading on the purpose-built pathway along the coast road.
Night life includes the Tamariz Night Club which is practically suspended over the beach in Estoril (summertime only) and Jezebels Night Club behind Estoril Casino during the winter months. Alternatively, try the club for "the young at heart" (Vangogo) in Cascais old town. Take in the International Show or Dinner & Show at the Estoril Casino.
The Artisan Fair in Estoril (behind Casino) each July and August offers handicraft and a variety of restaurants serving traditional food.
The Cascais tourism office is situated in the square in Cascais, for all the maps and local information you need.
Another Lisbon tourism office is situated on the waterfront just beside the casino gardens and opposite the Estoril train station.

Geweldig!
Het appartement overtrof al onze (toch al hoge) verwachtingen. De grootte, de luxe, de inrichting, de opgeruimdheid, de huishoudelijke gemakken.... etc. Ook de parkachtige tuin, het zwembad, de rust, de locatie dichtbij het centrum etc. helemaal geweldig!! Topklasse!

Noisy but nice
Apartment is perfectly located but there were refurbishments going on right outside the front door all day and it was extremely noisy and smelly. We contacted the managers who answered immediately but were unable to move us, in the end they negotiated a discount for us. Had we known about the work we would not have booked the apartment.
Other issues were the darkness everywhere at night., lighting was not good. We wanted to sit outside but there were lots of mosquitos and we were not allowed by the owners to use the mosquito deterrent machine that had been installed. The hobs were induction and we could not use the pans we brought with us. Beds are hard, ok if you like them but very uncomfortable for some, I ended up sleeping on the couch most nights, and the pillows were pathetic- we had to roll up our duvets to get any height for our heads. Overall the apartment is in good condition and well kept and it was clean. In one room they asked us not to turn on the lights because of artwork there - if you are renting an apartment then dont have expensive artwork there. With a few tweaks I would suggest renting this place and the management agents were great.

Très bel appartement idéalement situé
Nous avons passé une semaine à 4 personnes dans ce grand appartement, il est très agréable, très bien situé, nous n’avions pas loué de voiture, tout peut se faire à pied, ou en taxi. La gare est proche et permet d’aller facilement à Lisbonne. Nous voulions des vacances calmes, c’était parfait. Le parc tout près de la résidence est superbe avec ses arbres magnifiques, les promenades au bord de mer sont faciles. Le seul petit défaut de cet appartement est l’isolation phonique qui n’est pas à la hauteur du reste des prestations. Nous n’avons pas profité de la belle piscine, il faisait trop froid en cette fin avril... par contre les mouettes la trouve parfaite... hé oui... qui dit bord de mer dit mouettes ... et leurs petits « cadeaux » laissés sur la terrasse !!! Si nous revenons à Cascais, nous relouerons cet appartement sans hésiter.
