I had a great stay at this apartment! It features a cozy living room combined with a kitchen, a separate bedroom with a comfortable 160 cm wide bed and a large wardrobe, plus an additional dark (windowless) room with a bunk bed. The kitchen is well-equipped with a dishwasher and a large fridge. There’s also a work desk and a comfortable sofa, making it a very functional space.
The apartment is on the ground floor, but the windows are at the height of a first floor, overlooking a hill with lots of trees and greenery and a one private house, but the area is very quiet. The street is a cul-de-sac, so there’s minimal car traffic. Looking left from the windows, you can enjoy a beautiful view of the ocean!
The sun only reaches the apartment in the late evening during sunset, so the place stays cool enough even on hot days without air conditioning. And there are usually free parking spots available not far from the house.
The landlord was always reachable and responded promptly to any requests, which made the stay even more pleasant.
Highly recommend this place for a quiet and comfortable stay!
Vecindario
The apartment is located in Sesimbra, a charming beach town known for its enormous sandy beach, which is the main reason many people visit. There are plenty of restaurants in town, but most are of average quality, with few high-rated options that often have long queues during lunch hours. Finding unique cuisine or good coffee spots can be a challenge, though there is one vegetarian café, Aloha, that offers quite healthy meals.
Most major shops are concentrated near the town center, around the bus station. Getting back to the apartment means climbing uphill if you don’t have a car. Large supermarkets are only available in a neighboring town, about 20 minutes away by bus. There are direct buses to Lisbon, but the bus journey takes an hour or more.
In the high season, especially on weekends, the town can get quite busy and crowded. However, the apartment is tucked away from the main streets, so it remains peaceful. During winter, Sesimbra transforms into a quiet, sparsely populated town, making it ideal for those seeking tranquility.
