Santa Cruz Beach

Relaxing stay at Quinta da Bicuda, it's located in the quiet affluent suburbs of Cascais. Although we didn't have a car we got around by making lots of use of the bi-cycles provided to visitors, large undeveloped Guincho beach is about 20 mins cycle ride along mostly dedicated cycle tracks which was great and the town beaches are also easily cycled to along the coastal track. We also made regular use of the masses of Uber drivers that service the town making getting in and out for an evening meal easy and pretty cheap for 4. The pool looks like something used in a zoo animal enclosure and is not your typical holiday apartment pool, but for us it was great to cool off in and was usually quiet so we got good stints of use to ourselves. The grounds around the villas are lovely and green with lots of shade provided by the mature trees and with plenty of sun beds to lounge on. The stables are located just behind the villas so there's always some horses trotting about, which also seemed to increase the number of flys buzzing around although this was a minor irritation. The staff are really good, very helpful with any queries or issues especially Jasmine and Ines who were just great 10/10 for customer service. If your looking for a quiet relaxing base, in low density accommodation on the edge of Cascais not far from the beach this is your place!

The staff was very friendly and helpful. The breakfast is tasty and fresh.
