Villa Rute Portugal

Nestled in a beautifully quiet residential neighbourhood in Cascais on the Portuguese coast, Villa Rute is a unique, utterly contemporary masterpiece for six lucky guests!
The hub of the home is the fabulous open-plan living room, which thanks to a sophisticated design enjoys an enchanting fusion between interior and exterior spaces, leading beautifully into the fantastic private garden! There are several huge sofas and comfortable reclining chairs and armchairs for you to lounge in and relax, in front of both the huge TV and traditional fireplace. Your modern kitchen features all the amenities you could need for rustling up anything from a light snack to a hearty meal, with plenty of space for all the chefs to get involved! There is a dining area beside the kitchen, in addition to a fabulous alfresco dining area.
There are three wonderful bedrooms, all incredibly spacious and cosy, with a double room, a twin or double room and a children’s room with a pull-out bed, and a huge map on the wall to inspire their young minds! Flexible bedroom options, with the possibility of pushing beds together, can cater to all kinds of groups, whether friends or family! In your master suite, you can enjoy a lounge within the bedroom, with two sofas (including a sofa bed!) and a desk, while the other two rooms also enjoy a desk and comfortable chairs. Each room has an elegant and pristine en-suite bathroom, one of which even enjoys garden access!
And finally, you are blessed with a wonderful private terrace, complete with your very own swimming pool which dazzles in the endless sunlight! Providing fun for all ages, the pool is the perfect place for splashing around, enjoying a few morning laps or simply cooling off from the wonderous Portuguese heat! There are loungers for a little sun-bathing and a large sofa/bed for the same purpose – or for gathering the group for some quality time! With alfresco dining, you can be sure to spend many hours and even days in this fabulous private space, socialising, relaxing and soaking up the sunshine!
The villa is located less than 10 minutes away from the port of Cascais, and only 30 minutes from Lisbon, this is the ideal spot for explorers. Cascais is a coastal resort town, just a little west of Lisbon, which is known for its sandy beaches and charming marina. Just a short walk away, the Sintra-Cascais Natural Park is a magnificent picturesque spot for a hike or cycle, with 145 km² of rocky coastline and inland forests. It is the westernmost point of the European continent, where ‘the land ends, and the sea begins’, with 100m cliffs creating spectacular landscapes and stunning beach coves!

Less than half an hour away, Lisbon is known for its lively nightlife, with endless bars and clubs full of fun-loving locals and tourists alike, but also has plenty of fascinating history (check out Belém, jam-packed with monuments!) and undulating terrain, famously termed the ‘city of the seven hills’. 

Portugal itself is a small, fascinating country at the most Western point of mainland Europe. With a vast coastline with the powerful Atlantic Ocean, it is a true paradise for the keen surfer, or indeed even those looking to try if for the first time, with plenty of surfing schools all along the calmer sections of the coast. Of course, it is not only the world-famous waves but also the completely pollution-free water, and the lack of deadly sharks found in warmer areas that put it so firmly on the map as the surfing Mecca of the world. 

And even for those less keen on surfing, the beaches of Portugal are well worth a visit for their beautifully clear waters, and almost all have a bar at which you can enjoy a tipple. Other active pursuits include a sublime cycling trip through the breath-taking scenery of Geres, or indeed white-water rafting on the river Douro! For those more into the gentle pace of a golfing day out, Portugal is a real haven, with 14 of the world’s top 100 best golf courses!
