You simply will not find a more cozy, charming, well-stocked, clean, conveniently-located home anywhere in Cascais! And as far as hosts go—- DORIS IS THE ABSOLUTE BEST! I felt like I was staying at the home of a close friend because Doris was so invested in my happiness as her guest. Pre- arrival communication was clear, helpful, and friendly. And during my stay, I texted her several times with various questions about Cascais and she was always happy to help. We even met for coffee! Our return home was delayed by a day when my son got a bad stomach virus. I felt completely supported and cared for by Doris at a time when I would have otherwise felt quite stressed. She’s just so genuinely kind! I should also offer details about my experience in the loft itself. I LOVED the decor— especially the turquoise in the master bedroom. And the slanted ceilings and skylights throughout. It’s VERY spacious. Quite long from one end to the other. And all the rooms have more places to store your belongings than you could ever use. The kitchen is equipped with everything you could possibly need. And Doris left some welcome goodies so I felt right at home the moment I arrived. I couldn’t wait to come back to the loft at the end of the day where I felt perfectly content in every way. And the beds are soooo comfortable. The terrace is a bonus. We watched New Years fireworks out there and it was magical. The train is about a five minute easy walk. And it runs all day taking you right to Lisbon in about 35 minutes.. So easy and inexpensive too!! My favorite part of staying in Cascais was the promenade between Cascais and Estoril that goes all along the water. You can begin right behind the train station. And it’s breathtakingly beautiful! Anyone who enjoys a morning run or walk will be in heaven. The loft is also in easy walking distance to every type of restaurant. My favorites were Hifen and Your Healthy Kitchen and El Caminito (best meal of the stay was at El Caminito suggested by Doris! The Argentinian steaks are to die for!). We also rode the Ferris wheel and enjoyed the Christmas markets just a block or two away. I can’t say enough about the perfection of my stay in the Cascais Loft and my host, Doris. She really cares about her guests’ experiences and you will feel it the moment you walk in. You will feel spoiled by the amount of space and the surroundings and the ease with which you can do anything you like. This is the best VRBO experience I ever had!
