We really enjoyed the stay, the apartment has a nice view and is warm, and sunny which is very appreciated during the winter. Ursula is very friendly, welcoming, and easy to talk to. Her family is nice and friendly as well.
There is a nice nature and a beautiful park nearby. On the other hand, you will need to travel by car, bus, or bike to Cascais or Praia de Guincho as there isn't much to do in Murches. But it's just a couple of minutes away.

Neighborhood
Very nice and calm. Beautiful park nearby for hiking or workout. Decent bakery just behind the corner and a small supermarket. Also, there are a few nice restaurants. What is a plus is the bus stop a couple of meters away and the electric bike stands are on the corner. For groups, it could be nice to go play paintball which is 500m away. But we didn't try it.

Recommended places nearby
Great sushi at Komodo sushi bar.
Authentic grilled chicken at O Buraco dos Grelhados.
Authentic Portuguese cuisine for lunch at Cataplana de Sabores.
"BioShop" with cool groceries at DoBairro Mercearia

The apartment is not only comfortable, bright, and warm but also meticulously designed with thoughtful details. The panoramic view of the mountains and the National Palace of Pena in Sintra is absolutely breathtaking.

The location is perfect – a serene, quiet area with convenient access to a nearby bus stop, a small grocery store, pastry shop, and cafés. We enjoyed exploring the beautiful beach, sand dunes, and scenic mountain trails within walking distance.

Ursula and her family were delightful hosts, ensuring friendly and easy communication throughout our stay. They went above and beyond to create a welcoming environment, making our visit truly enjoyable. We highly recommend this apartment. Thank you for making our stay memorable!

Neighborhood
The nearest large supermarket, Minipreço, is located 2 km away.

Recommended places nearby
Guincho Beach, Cabo de Roca, Sintra, and the trails around the area are some of the attractions.

Length of stay: 7 days

Communication with the hosts was very good before and during my stay. The flat was clean and as described in the photos. It has what is needed for a stay of a few weeks. The price point is hard to beat for the Cascais area. It is outside of the main centres but it takes about 15 minutes to get to Cascais by bus and the buses are fairly reliable. Personally I would recommend it for a short stay of perhaps up to a few weeks given the location that is outside of the main centres and the fact that you are sharing a house with a family of four.

Neighborhood
It’s a quiet, residential neighborhood. There are a couple shops and a small market closeby but that’s pretty much it.

Recommended places nearby
Guincho beach. It takes probably between 30-45 minutes to get to it by foot. Otherwise, the bus outside the flat goes to Cascais where you can take another bus to the beach. Cascais is also lovely.

In fact I did not live here because Embassy gave me visa too late. But communication was great.

FAQ

What happens after I make a reservation?

Once you send a reservation request, the landlord is notified that you are interested in their offer. From that moment, they have 24 hours to approve or reject your reservation.

Landlords are mainly interested in the profile of their tenant. Do not forget to fill in all necessary information, add your profile picture, or even make a short video about yourself. Doing that will make you more attractive for the owner and your reservation will more likely get approved.

What is the standard furnishing of flats?

All the apartments on offer on Flatio must meet certain standards. We require fully furnished and equipped ones, dishes, cutlery and internet connection included.

What is a medium-term rent?

The duration of a medium-term rent is usually 1 to 12 months. Most of the landlords offer long-term rents or rents for just a few days, therefore getting a medium-term rent without Flatio is not that easy.

Can I go through the contract before I make a reservation of the housing?

You can take a look at the contract in advance and online with every offer. After you sign it, you will find it in the application My Housing.

While arranging a contract on Flatio, you do not have to worry that it could be disadvantageous for you. Our contracts are made so that we avoid all problems! All of them are the same, used by all the landlords on Flatio.

Can I see my chosen accommodation in person before I sign the lease agreement?

Your time is precious. That's why we've added a virtual tour option to our platform so you can see some of the rentals listed on Flatio from the comfort of your own home.

If a virtual tour isn't available for the accommodation you've chosen, you can contact the landlord and ask them if they're willing to give you a personal tour of the rental unit.

In the event that you move in and the rented accommodation doesn't match the information on Flatio, let us know as soon as possible!

If the conditions for the withdrawal are met and the landlord can't fix the issue immediately, you have the option to withdraw from the lease agreement with a full refund. We'll also actively help you find an alternative accommodation and remain by your side until everything is fully resolved.

You can read the conditions and all details about our Move-in Guarantee in this article of our Help Center.

How can I pay?

On Flatio, you have a variety of payment methods to choose from. You can use your card, payment gateway or bank transfer. Just pick the one which suits you the most.

How can I cancel my reservation?

How you can cancel a reservation varies depending on what stage the reservation is in.

Is your reservation request still waiting for landlord approval? Then you can simply cancel it directly from your My Housing web app!

However, suppose the owner has already approved your reservation request, and you are no longer interested in it. In that case, you can still cancel the reservation before you sign the lease agreement. Just consider that you should do this only in essential cases. Because when the landlord accepts your reservation, their property is stopped being advertised, and they can lose the chance to rent their property to someone else.

Do you have an approved reservation and also a valid agreement? In order to cancel your reservation, contact Flatio customer support well in advance of your contract beginning (the specific time and amount of refund depends on the type of cancelation policy).

Unfortunately, this listing isn't active at the moment. Please check back later.
