Hi Nicola and Paula,

Many thanks for a wonderful holiday in your delightful house. We loved it, Cascais is great. We definitely will be returning in the not too distant future, and we will of course stay with you. I hope you and your family are well.

Kind Regards

Many thanks for helping us with somewhere to stay in Cascais. We enjoyed our stay and the Art House was ideal for what we wanted – chiefly the central location.
