Casa Jasmim
A pool and garden homestay, the parish's best-reviewed stay
About this stay
Casa Jasmim sits apart from the parish's other stays in both setting and guest ratings: a homestay built around a private outdoor pool and garden rather than proximity to the train stations. Rooms come with air conditioning, private bathrooms and balconies, several with pool or garden views tagged directly on the listing, and the outdoor space extends to seating areas, barbecue facilities and a shared kitchen for guests who want to cook rather than eat out every meal. A continental buffet breakfast is served daily, featuring local specialities, fresh pastries, cheese, fruit and juice, and room service extends the same at-home comfort into the rest of the day. It sits roughly seven kilometres from Sintra National Palace and ten from Cascais Municipal Aerodrome, a slightly longer trip to the stations than the parish's apartment stays, a trade that its 9.8 rating from 107 reviews suggests most guests find worthwhile.
- Private outdoor pool
- Garden and pool views
- Included breakfast
- Air conditioning
Our take
This suits travellers prioritising a pool, garden and a quiet, well-reviewed homestay over walking-distance access to the train stations. Solo travellers in particular rate the location highly, and the included breakfast and shared kitchen add real value for a stay of several days. Guests who need to be a five-minute walk from Mem Martins station for frequent day trips, or who want a conventional hotel with a staffed desk, will find the other three stays in the parish a closer match.
- Book well ahead given the 9.8 rating and status as the parish's only pool stay; availability tightens in warmer months.
- Plan on a taxi or a longer walk to the nearest station, since Casa Jasmim sits further from the trains than the Isabel Dream apartments.
- Take advantage of the included breakfast before a pool day rather than heading out for food.
Why we love it
- A private outdoor pool, rare in this residential parish

- Garden views and outdoor seating for slower mornings
Why guests love itCasa Jasmim is a homestay built around a private outdoor pool and a garden, with air-conditioned rooms, balconies and a shared kitchen for families who want to cook. A continental buffet breakfast with local specialities is included each day. Sintra National Palace is about seven kilometres away, and the train stations take a little longer to reach than from the parish's apartments. Guests rate it 9.8 out of 10 from 107 reviews. I would choose it for a slow family stay with pool time.
