We were welcomed by our gracious host Ruy, and two of his three dogs, and shown to our suite on the first floor, looking West over the beautiful garden and pool. A nice glass of vintage port added to the sense that we were, indeed welcome. This is a large, beautifully appointed house, with several guest suites, a large living room and adjacent dining room. A happy hour From 7.00 to 8.00 included a selection of wines and pate spreads, and the opportunity to meet some of the international guests, as well as Ruy's beautiful wife, Susanna. Breakfast the following morning was outstanding, with every delicacy under the sun, served by the charming Francisca. The hosts are multi-lingual, which made communication amongst the group of French, German and English a most interesting hour. Overall, these were two of the best nights accommodations we have ever had, either in hotels, flats or guest houses, and we would highly recommend Charm of Cascais. The Oliver's, B.C, Canada.
