Sta Catarina - Cascais Beach Apartments

location

vis a vis of the rooms, lack of dish washer, dirty walls, slow internet conmection

Really great location and very nice style of the property. Looks quite new, simplistic and welcoming. Warm water was always good. We haven't tried al cooking equipment, but it was very complete!

The faucet in the kitchen was quite loose. Looks like an easy fix to re-attach this one a bit better. When it is loose like this, it is easy to get worse over time on subsequent visitors...

Accommodation good and location excellent

Two flights of stairs to reach apartment. Fine for us however it would be a struggle for someone with mobility issues.

The location.

Very disappointed to find several areas at the Duquesa apartment that are in need of urgent attention, certainly before any future guests arrive to stay. most of these faults can and should be rectified immediately. 1. There is a smell when immediately entering the apartment and it is from the drain in the shower area. 2. There is black mould on the shower floor and at the bottom of the walls. 3. Because of the possibility of a partially blocked drain in the shower, the shower can only be used on low water flow as otherwise water collects on the shower floor and then creates a flood outside the shower door. 4. The lever on the tap on the wash basin in the bathroom hits the wall when it is opened. 5. The toilet seat is very loose and swivels when used. 6. Only two of the three bulbs in the bathroom light fitting were working. 7. The tap in the kitchen has partially broken away from the worktop and is very loose. You need to hold it whilst operating the tap and it becomes very hot when hot water is drawn. 8. The joining strip on the right hand side of the kitchen worktop stands up and bacteria easily collects under it. 9. There are cooking smells coming into the apartment from the kitchens down below. There are also smells coming from the area below where staff sit in the open toilets smoking. 10. There is constant noise from the extraction units on the wall at the rear of the apartment. 11. In the main bedroom there’s a large water storage tank that is very noisy when the next door apartment is drawing water from it. We were woken up several times because of this and had to wear ear plugs to help stay asleep. It appears that the tank is only for the next door apartment as when we drew hot water there was no noise coming from the tank. 12. The main bedroom door doesn’t stay closed. 13. When removing the duvet cover in the small bedroom the duvet was seen to have quite a number of dirty stains on it.

Great location, close to the beach and the town yet quiet. Stayed with my husband and 1 year old. Host was great and cot was set up for us when we arrived. Apartment was great for us. Lovely fish restaurant downstairs.

It was all great!

loved the location. good for a short stay

above restaurant’s kitchen

great location and clean and comfortable

Wifi not good.. main door to building difficult to open and french door to balcony not very secure. we came home to find door had been pushed open from outside and front door to apt also been opened but luckily nothing was missing.

Location was excellent. Staff were accommodating.

Common space was small. No view from apartment. Quite expensive for size of apartment but don't have a comparison with other places in resort..
