The beautiful old town and marina in Cascais are both a twenty-minute walk away from this studio apartment. We can see why this place was once favoured as a retreat for Portuguese royals. The imposing Palace of Cascais Citadel is now a museum and is well worth a look around. There are an array of restaurants and bars nearby too which is fortunate as this studio apartment’s kitchenette is quite basic – still, it has a mini-fridge, microwave and hob, so you can make light meals. Afterwards, relax on the private balcony with a glass of wine and take in the views over Cascais.
