Sant'Ana Cottage by Portugal Portfolio

Summary:
A lovely little vintage cottage built in the late 1940's and comfortably decorated for a perfect holiday. Enjoy the sunny outdoor terrace for relaxing and dining. This gorgeous little place is idyllically located in the heart of a typical Portuguese community in Cascais. The space is cosy and suited to a maximum of 4 persons sharing (preferably 2 adults and 2 children as this is not a large cottage.

The Space:
You have the option to relax in a little reading corner, lounge on the sofa and watch your favourite series on Netflix or just quietly enjoy a glass of wine or breakfast on the private terrace. We have tried to decorate it in a very comfortable way in order to give you the best holiday experience ever. We don't want to hide the fact that the washing machine is placed on the patio and the oven is an older gas oven so please be aware of these things if you do book our lovely little home.

We hope to welcome you!

It has a supermarket at the end of the road and a coffee shop just 300m. You can buy fresh bread locally each morning and soak up the local Portuguese community going about their everyday life in the small village called SantAna.

There is a bus which leaves from about 50m from the cottage into the town center. Alternatively, you can hire bicycles and cycle along the cycle paths down to the center, the marina or the beaches. It would be a 25-minute walk to the center of Cascais, 29 minutes to the Cascais train station and a couple of minutes more to the closest beach. The marina is a 30-minute walk. Its less than a 5-minute journey into the center by car or bus.
