Villa Cascais – 420m2:

This spacious villa is set on two floors which can also be rented separately (see Villa Monte e Mar and Casa dos Meninos).
The architecture is of Mediterranean influence, with the house following the contours of the landscape, curves not cubes, so the whole is at one with its setting. Most rooms connect to the outside.
As the house is set on two spacious floors, there are two living rooms, two private patios and many wonderful relaxing spots with different views. The villa has 8 bedrooms in total and can be let to up to 18 people.

The main entrance is via a spacious entrance hall, with original pine trunks forming the ceiling. To the right, the main formal living room is found with a lovely encased fireplace providing the focal point, and 3 full length French doors opening to the gardens. A large TV with Satellite SKY channels, DVD player and Stereo is provided for the entertainment of guests. To the left the formal dining area is located; this area, with its own french doors opens out to the terrace and gardens.
Right across the hall to the other side, there is a spacious fully equipped kitchen, with a large table for 8 or more, ideal for less formal meals; the kitchen was recently renovated with "vintage" objects such as old scales, giving it a lot of character; it has quickly become a talking point. Just outside the kitchen, in a covered area, a large table made of one single slab of marble, seats up to 18 people comfortably and is ideal for large reunions. The lovely built-in barbecue is just next to this seating area.
Also accessed from the main hall, we find a large twin bedroom (beds can be joined to form a large double) and its en-suite shower room; this bedroom leads to a smaller sitting-room/bedroom with 2 single beds and with direct access to the gardens and fabulous views; this bedroom also has a separate direct access from the hall at the back.
To the left of the main hall, we find a lovely indoor garden with a round skylight. Further on we access another twin bedroom with a large built-in desk, which means this can double up as a very spacious study room.
Further along, past a separating door, we find to the left a pleasant double bedroom, and next to it a spacious shower room with an original skylight over the shower!
The main double bedroom is to the right of this corridor. It is a spacious bright room with private French doors to its section of the garden, plenty of built-in storage space and a large bathroom with two sinks, jacuzzi bath, separate shower, toilet and bidet. Beds in this bedroom can be configured as double beds, or 4 singles.
Down steps from the hall, a separate living room, bathrooms and bedrooms are located. This area has a large sitting space with 2 single sofa-beds, fully equipped kitchenette and sliding doors to the garden. There are 3 spacious bedrooms leading off from the living room: 2 twin bedrooms and 1 double bedroom. The double bedroom has a small en-suite bathroom and direct access to outside. The other spacious bathroom on this floor has a lovely hand painted tile panel over the bath.
What makes this villa extra special is of course the large 5000m2 garden with is separate vegetable patch. Although part of the garden and the swimming pool are shared with the guests of the lower cottage 100m away, a large 1000m2 section of the garden is reserved to the exclusive use of the Villa guests. In this private section the sauna house is found.
With a large swimming pool, beautiful grounds in a 5000m2 private estate, close to the beach and the many attractions of Cascais, Lisbon and Sintra, this property offers an ideal setting for a perfect holiday. Here you find peace and privacy amongst the beauty and tranquillity of nature, but with all you might want close by. The large, covered pool means the water is warm enough for you to swim from April to November; sliding doors allow you to catch a cooling breeze in the hot summer months. The extensive gardens and outdoor games area can be enjoyed all year round – as can the sauna and massages (supplement charged).

Location Information:
The property is ideally situated in a rural setting, at the foot of the Sintra hills, 3km from beautiful Guincho beach and 6km from cosmopolitan Cascais and Estoril.

This is an ideal location for nature lovers, being in the Sintra-Cascais protected National Park where building is very restricted. There is good walking, with an abundance of wild flowers, birds and animals. Yet the motorway is only 4km away, making Lisbon, Cascais and Sintra accessible in under 30 minutes.

The restful view looks down a green and unspoilt valley with the sea in the far distance in one direction, and the mystical Sintra mountains in the other.



Nearby Attractions:
Locally, there is a huge choice of the latest films in their original language with over twenty screens in four local cinema complexes, reachable within 10 minutes, as are two attractive shopping centres. The summer brings international festivals; classical music and ballet in Sintra, jazz in Estoril, and fireworks in Cascais.

Less far in the other direction is the coastal resort of Cascais, where you will find superb beaches, restaurants, night-life and shopping, as well as a charming old town with rewarding site-seeing.

Lisbon is half an hour away, and with easy access to the motorway system, a number of other world class cultural and historic sites make an enjoyable day trip. Lisbon boasts world heritage sites, and a rich cultural, culinary and night life. The motorway network puts the Knights Templars’ castle and chapels at Tomar and Batalha within an easy day trip, as well as the ancient university town of Coimbra. On the other directions, south of the Tagus, the beautiful Sesimbra and Arrabida area are well worth an easy day trip.

Golf:
Six of Portugal’s best golf courses are within a 15 minute drive, offering new and surprising landscapes, along with first class services and facilities. Discounted green fees are available, please contact us. Portugal is a golfer’s paradise where it is possible to play almost every day of the year, with plenty to offer both beginners and advanced players.

Beaches:
Guincho beach, world renowned for its beauty and surfing, is 3 km away. Many other sandy beaches are close by, each with its individual character. Less than half an hour’s drive north along the coast several beaches are well worth exploring, as are some excellent fish restaurants.

Weather:
Portugal is a year round destination. Hot and sunny in the summer, with a refreshing breeze off the sea; windier months are July and August; Spring and Autumn are mild, ideal for sightseeing. It is very rarely so hot that you need air conditioning. Rainy days can occur in winter, but it is rarely cold.

Getting There and Getting Around:
Less than two hours flight from most European cities and seven hours from New York, the house can be reached by car or taxi from Lisbon Airport in 30-40 minutes. Located in the protected national park of Cascais-Sintra, the property is only 4km from the motorway and so half an hour from Lisbon and its cultural attactions and night life. Taxis are available and cheap, and there is an efficient bus system from the village to Cascais and Sintra; but to get the best out of your holiday we advise car hire, as there is so much to see which is not accessible by public transport.

The entrance is through large sliding doors from the private patio. The living area is bright with a learge flat screen TV; on the wall there is a beautiful hand painted ceramic tile panel, created by a local artist, depicting two adorable baroque angels; this is what gave the name to the house, as "meninos" means children in Portuguese.

A flat screen TV with DVD provides entertainment.

Location Information:
The property is ideally situated in a rural setting, at the foot of the Sintra hills, 3km from beautiful Guincho beach and 6km from cosmopolitan Cascais and Estoril.

This is an ideal location for nature lovers, being in the Sintra-Cascais protected National Park where building is very restricted. There is good walking, with an abundance of wild flowers, birds and animals. Yet the motorway is only 4km away, making Lisbon, Cascais and Sintra accessible in under 30 minutes.

The restful view looks down a green and unspoilt valley with the sea in the far distance in one direction, and the mystical Sintra mountains in the other.



Nearby Attractions:
Locally, there is a huge choice of the latest films in their original language with over twenty screens in four local cinema complexes, reachable within 10 minutes, as are two attractive shopping centres. The summer brings international festivals; classical music and ballet in Sintra, jazz in Estoril, and fireworks in Cascais.

Less far in the other direction is the coastal resort of Cascais, where you will find superb beaches, restaurants, night-life and shopping, as well as a charming old town with rewarding site-seeing.

Lisbon is half an hour away, and with easy access to the motorway system, a number of other world class cultural and historic sites make an enjoyable day trip. Lisbon boasts world heritage sites, and a rich cultural, culinary and night life. The motorway network puts the Knights Templars’ castle and chapels at Tomar and Batalha within an easy day trip, as well as the ancient university town of Coimbra. On the other directions, south of the Tagus, the beautiful Sesimbra and Arrabida area are well worth an easy day trip.
