Villa Bigini is 8km from the enthralling town of Sintra. Set in the Serra de Sintra hills, visitors will discover colourful, extravagant palaces, opulent mansions, and the ruins of an ancient castle within the pine forests. Sintra is brimming with fascinating historic buildings and charming, narrow lanes filled with quaint restaurants and cafes. The Pena Palace is one of the finest tourist attractions in Portugal and exemplifies the 19th century Romanticism style of architecture. There is an alluring mix of vividly painted terraces, mythological statues and decorative battlements, all in the lush Parque de Pena forest. It is always very busy, so you may want to pre-book tickets. You will find plenty of cafes and bars where you can eat and drink something very tasty. 
The beaches of the Lisbon Coast are spectacular, with huge expanses of sand. Praia da Adraga Beach is regarded as one of Portugal’s best beaches with its stunning scenery of dramatic cliffs, jagged rocks, and golden sand. The beach is 18km north of Cascais, and in between, you will discover Praia do Guincho. It is a fabulous beach combining intense surfing with dramatic, natural scenery. Guincho is situated on the Serra da Sintra National Park’s western edge, protecting the fabulous beach from tourist development. The Lisbon Coast beaches list is endless, some family-friendly, and others ready for thrill-seekers wanting to surf the pounding waves. If you head towards Estoril, the other side of Cascais, there are calmer, sheltered beaches. From Guincho to Praia das Macas there are wilder conditions.
Cascais is 15km from the villa. It is a charming Portuguese fishing town with an interesting history. In the past, Cascais was the summer retreat of the Portuguese nobility. Today it is an elegant fusion of its fabulous heritage and modern tourism. Within the narrow, cobbled streets of the historic centre are museums, an imposing fort, lavish villas and charming shops and restaurants. You can enjoy waterside cocktails and delicious meals. A short train ride can take you into the centre of Lisbon or to one of the lovely beaches along the coast.
Golf fans will be delighted with the location of Villa Bigini. There are six golf courses within 20 minutes. These include Quinta da Marinha, which is set amongst beautiful pine trees and stretches down to Guincho Beach. It enjoys magical scenery with its hole number 13 descending to the sea. Definitely an Instagram worthy picture postcard of Portuguese golf!

Oitavos Dunes Golf is the first golf course in Europe and the second in the world to become a Gold Certified Signature Sanctuary.
