About this property
Light and Airy, Every Comfort on the Lisbon Coastline
Portugal is enjoyed best when you live like a resident. In this apartment, ideally situated along the coast between Lisbon and Cascais in the charming village of Carcavelos, you'll do just that.
This refurbished flat near the best beach on the Lisbon coast is modest and in an older building, but it has charm and many amenities. One flight up (sorry, no elevator), it features an open floor plan and a wrap-around balcony with French doors that fill the living and dining area with light and let in ocean breezes much of the year.
The longest beach along the Lisbon/Cascais coast is a five-minute walk away, featuring a long boardwalk with cafes, restaurants and bars from which to watch magnificent sunsets, plus all manner of water sports. Carcavelos is host to international surfing, kite surfing and wind surfing contests. The imposing 16th century fort of Sao Juliao de Barra, once a political prison, sits sentry at one end of the beach, and at the other is an outcropping of ocean rock locally renowned for it's curative iodine.
The apartment is located at the entrance to a bustling square with two hotels and a dozen cafes and restaurants. The Riviera Hotel has a pool, gym and conference facilities available at a per diem rate. There’s also a taxi stand and a tennis club, plus a small shopping center that offers most services you may need.
With all of these facilities and public transportation close by, there’s no need for a car unless you want one. Rental agencies are just a few minutes up the train line. Carcavelos is equally accessible to Lisbon with its rich history and culture, Estoril with its famous Casino and Cascais, a picturesque fishing village. Also nearby is the beautiful mountain retreat of Sintra, the summer home of the Portuguese royals and aristocracy, with a palace, a castle and Moorish ramparts.
Tourism guidebooks in the apartment and a local contact will help you plan your vacation. Guided car tours are available and we will do our best to accommodate any special needs.

Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Malcolm Macdonald
My sister and I inherited this apartment from my mother, having spent our teenage years here as expats before we both moved to the US for school, work, then marriage and family. We commuted daily to school in Lisbon from Carcavelos and made lasting friendships, so we feel very connected to Portugal. We renovated the apartment in the hope that more people might enjoy what we enjoy about Portugal and this area. The neighbors are very pleasant, and the location, with its myriad cafes, restaurants, shops and its proximity to the beach, is much sought after by the Portuguese themselves.
Why they chose this property
Our mother chose this apartment because of its location. She never drove, but it is ideally located for public transportation, so there’s no need for a car unless you want one. The residential neighborhood has almost every amenity, including shops, restaurants and a supermarket, and it’s only a three-minute walk to the most popular beach along this remarkable coast line. Our mother stayed here for the rest of her life, partly because it’s less expensive than much of Europe, but mostly because of the warmth and kindness of the Portuguese people. It is still this way today.
What makes this property unique
We return to Portugal at least once a year to visit friends and relive fond memories. We’ve refurbished the flat to modern standards and think it’s a modest but sunny, happy and comfortable home. Growing up here was a unique and wonderful experience, and it spoiled us for good food and wine; you have to work hard to get a bad meal here. Eating out and outdoor cafe life are very much a part of the Portuguese experience, which boasts easy hospitality, kindness and charm, a diversity of international influences, and one of the oldest histories and richest cultures of Europe.
