fantastic location - couldn’t have been better!

was difficult to get the apartment to a comfortable temperature.

location

vis a vis of the rooms, lack of dish washer, dirty walls, slow internet conmection

Really great location and very nice style of the property. Looks quite new, simplistic and welcoming. Warm water was always good. We haven't tried al cooking equipment, but it was very complete!

The faucet in the kitchen was quite loose. Looks like an easy fix to re-attach this one a bit better. When it is loose like this, it is easy to get worse over time on subsequent visitors...

Accommodation good and location excellent

Two flights of stairs to reach apartment. Fine for us however it would be a struggle for someone with mobility issues.

The location.

Very disappointed to find several areas at the Duquesa apartment that are in need of urgent attention, certainly before any future guests arrive to stay. most of these faults can and should be rectified immediately. 1. There is a smell when immediately entering the apartment and it is from the drain in the shower area. 2. There is black mould on the shower floor and at the bottom of the walls. 3. Because of the possibility of a partially blocked drain in the shower, the shower can only be used on low water flow as otherwise water collects on the shower floor and then creates a flood outside the shower door. 4. The lever on the tap on the wash basin in the bathroom hits the wall when it is opened. 5. The toilet seat is very loose and swivels when used. 6. Only two of the three bulbs in the bathroom light fitting were working. 7. The tap in the kitchen has partially broken away from the worktop and is very loose. You need to hold it whilst operating the tap and it becomes very hot when hot water is drawn. 8. The joining strip on the right hand side of the kitchen worktop stands up and bacteria easily collects under it. 9. There are cooking smells coming into the apartment from the kitchens down below. There are also smells coming from the area below where staff sit in the open toilets smoking. 10. There is constant noise from the extraction units on the wall at the rear of the apartment. 11. In the main bedroom there’s a large water storage tank that is very noisy when the next door apartment is drawing water from it. We were woken up several times because of this and had to wear ear plugs to help stay asleep. It appears that the tank is only for the next door apartment as when we drew hot water there was no noise coming from the tank. 12. The main bedroom door doesn’t stay closed. 13. When removing the duvet cover in the small bedroom the duvet was seen to have quite a number of dirty stains on it.

Great location, close to the beach and the town yet quiet. Stayed with my husband and 1 year old. Host was great and cot was set up for us when we arrived. Apartment was great for us. Lovely fish restaurant downstairs.

It was all great!

loved the location. good for a short stay

above restaurant’s kitchen

great location and clean and comfortable

Wifi not good.. main door to building difficult to open and french door to balcony not very secure. we came home to find door had been pushed open from outside and front door to apt also been opened but luckily nothing was missing.

Location was excellent. Staff were accommodating.

Common space was small. No view from apartment. Quite expensive for size of apartment but don't have a comparison with other places in resort..

very good location, nice and clean

never got a reply to some enquiries during the stay like the needed blanket to ensble good night sleep…

You pay for location. The place is 5 min from a lovely small beach and this was great. The town is also amazing and had great places to eat/drink etc. But the apartment is mostly looks. It’s nicely decorated and has a central location.

Yet we felt it was not worth paying for all the things that did not work: - The wall plugs did not work in both bedrooms next to the beds. The other ones did. - The safe did not work. - Shower kept flooding. The first day the whole bathroom floor was wet after showering. After letting them know they told us to just hold the shower head on the drain to clear up the drain. This did not fix the problem. The next days it was still flooding the bathroom and we had to lay towels on the floor. - Glasses of wine in the closet still had people’s stains on them. - Stains (brown) on the bedding. - Opening the windows brought in a bad fish smell. Therefore they had to stay closed. We never sat outside. - We found the book with checkout rules, (which were never mentioned during check-in), with explained we had to clean up our own bedding + towels + trash. Considering all this, we conclude that the apartment is too expensive for what is being offered.

Lovely clean well equipped apartment in a fantastic location. Right in the centre of Cascais above some lovely restaurants. No noise from the street below.

Really disliked the hob! if it’s not gas I struggle.

The apartment was in a great location for everything on the doorstep but was not too noisy.

The outside space was not inviting due to a huge bank of industrial fans. Although the apartment as a whole was very nicely presented and well furnished the floor wasn’t clean at all.

excellent location in the heart of Cascais and close to the beach. Spotless and good amenities.

It was on the 2nd floor so people with mobility issues should be aware

The location is fantastic. Centrally located. Close to the train station and steps from the ocean (although we had no view of the ocean). The apartments seem to have been recently remodeled.

Toilet paper is provided for 1 day only.

Exclennt propery great facilities clean. And tidy loved it

Location, Beds

Smelly bathroom, Noise from construction, neighbors and boiler in the master bedroom

Location was perfect

Check in and check out process were a bit messy. We had to call 30 minutes before to meet the host to get the keys, however the line was engaged for a while so we had to wait. The person who met us wasn't that happy to see us and spent time telling us how much noise we shouldn't make and that she lives downstairs which we found a bit strange. Check out process wasn't explained, however I came across a book which had a list of things we had to do which was fine, however not sure what the implications would have been had we not found it and completed the check out tasks. I would have expected to be told the process, or at least told there was a book with details in the apartment. The place wasn't very clean and a lot smaller than it looked on photos. We spent a couple of weeks travelling around Portugal and stayed in a few places while we were there and I would say this was probably our least favourite.

The apartment is nice and spacious but a bit musty and the view from the patio is clearly the back side of a restaurant.
