This fuss-free apartment is perfect for big gatherings and multigenerational escapes to the Lisbon coastline. A spacious dining area calls for catch-ups over supper, while the cosy balcony is ideal for quiet moments in the morning – especially when accompanied with a strong espresso and flaky pastry. There are two sitting rooms to loll about in between excursions, and comfy bedrooms that demand midday catnaps. After settling in, throw on your swimsuit and make a beeline for the communal pool – or loungers, if sun worshipping is more your thing. The surrounding gardens are tranquil and inviting; spot wildlife as you stroll beside the stream. Take the fifteen-minute walk into Cascais for restaurants, cafes and of course, the beach. Praia da Ribeira hums during the daytime, but visit in the late afternoon for lighter crowds, warmer waters and a knockout sunset.
