Light and Airy, Every Comfort on the Lisbon Coastline

Been staying there for three years in a row and we’ve loved staying in that area!

Large condo with access to beach, however, pcondo hovers over very busy, main road arterial with road noise all day long. Apartment is very old with noxious fumes from sewer lines, showers have intermittent hot/cold (very difficult to get steady temperature) in one of two bathrooms. Be sure to ask about parking as there’s only one side street with free parking- otherwise pay by the hour. It’s nice enough but local hotels are cheaper (Riviera) and provide free breakfast and have pools. We were given the option to move, by owner, as there was constant construction and a noisy automotive shop next door that operates throughout the day. It’s too much of a time consuming process to move, wasting half a day to transition, so we chose to wait it out. Be careful with this place, its not a shangri la.

The pros: 5 min walk to the beach, 15 min walk to the train station that gets you all around the coast, spacious, bright, good kitchen. The cons: the view is to a garage and a construction site (which the pictures don’t show) noisy day and evening, persistent bad smell of humidity in both bathrooms, park meters limited to 4 hours, free spots in the area hard to find. Feels like you’re squatting your granny’s flat: tchotchkes on every surface, kids drawings on the walls, faded furniture and drapes. Great potential but needs attention. The owner is responsive.

This 2 bedroom is steps from the beautiful beach. Shopping mall 2 blocks away. A variety of restaurants in the neighborhood. The owner was a pleasure to work with. Very prompt responses and well cared for property.

Was exactly as listed. Close to beach and some restaurants and grocery.

It was the perfect experience for us a second time. It was lovely to be greeted with a warm and welcoming hospitality. The apartment is spacious and clean with everything we needed as well as it is in walking distance to everything we were looking for - beach, restaurants and shopping. It was an excellent and relaxing stay!

We stayed for 6 weeks at this lovely but somewhat antiquated apartment. The location is truly perfect. Even though it was July and it was really hot all around we enjoyed pretty much perfect temperatures everyday because of the sea breeze. While we had been worried that there was no AC, that was never an issue. Additionally, we were literally 5 min away walking from praia de Carcavelos -- enabling us to walk on the beach every evening -- and from a number of high quality restaurants both by the beach and in Praca do Junqueiro. And since we cooked many a meal ourselves it was great to have a very convenient and well supplied Pingo Doce only 5 min away. It was particularly helpful that the kitchen was well supplied both with kitchen utensils and cooking spices and oils! They were lacking an Italian stove coffee maker, but we bought one and left it for future guests. We did not rent a car but had no problem moving around. CP trains, Carris buses, and Uber rides were all easy to get.

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay

We booked this place not realizing how far it was out of Lisbon but it worked out well. The apartment is located close to some restaurants and a grocery store. Grocery store was a plus. There is a train station 5 minutes walk from the apartment so worked out great. Checkin process was smooth. Malcolm was great to work with, always available for any questions and made sure our checkin process went smoothly. The pictures are exactly as it looks, we had plenty of room for four of us, the two bathrooms were great. Highly recommend.

My family and I enjoyed staying at this apartment very much. It was very clean and comfortable. It was the perfect place to stay in Carcavelos. It was in short walking distance to many things like restaurants, grocery store, train station and a 5 minute walk to the beach. We would like to go back again soon.
