Villa Blosca Portugal
Holiday Home Rental Description
Villa Blosca is a scenic rustic villa located in the quiet and calm Colares, just outside of Lisbon city. With a large private pool and excellent outdoor space, this villa oozes charm, tranquility and luxury. With excellent facilities and four bedrooms, this villa sleeps 9, and is ideal for large groups of friends or families travelling together. Villa Blosca provides perfect home away from home for those looking to relax in an easy-going location, while retaining proximity to the bustle of the city.
Villa Blosca combines Portuguese charm with elegant Scandinavian living. On the ground floor, there is a modern, fully equipped kitchen with state-of-the-art appliances, as well as a comfortable open-plan living/dining area. On the lower ground floor, there is a double bedroom and an en suite twin room with bunk beds, as well as a separate bathroom. On the first floor, guests will find two further bedrooms (a double and a twin), as well as a playroom (with two mattresses available upon request), as well as a shared bathroom. The bedrooms and bathrooms are all very comfortable, well furnished finished to a high standard: perfect for mid afternoon siestas or sleepovers for the kids!
Outside, there is a large private swimming pool, a fantastic large garden, as well as a lovely BBQ/outdoor dining area that seats 12. Around the large private swimming pool, guests will find no shortage of sun loungers where they can switch off and read a good book. The outdoor dining facilities provide the perfect setting for guests to prepare and enjoy delicious al fresco meals together. Despite being located in a residential area, Villa Blosca feels extremely private and secluded due to the abundance of trees and greenery in the garden. With the beach just a short distance away, and an array of restaurants and activities to choose from in Cascais, guests are truly spoilt for choice at Villa Blosca. The golden sands of Praia Grande are less than a 10-minute drive away from Villa Bloscsa and a short drive from Sintra and Cascais. The water here is shallow, making it especially ideal for children wanting to go for a swim. Due to the strong waves, it’s a favourite spot for surfing, and you can have a go at this and a range of other water sports.
It’s an ideal place for a day out by the sea with the family as there are plenty of amenities available, such as cafés, bars and toilets. During low tide, you can reach the neighbouring beach of Praia Pena.
Praia Grande is part of Sintra-Cascais Natural Park – and you can see how it blends into this wild area with the rugged cliffs that back the beach. At the top of the cliffs are many walking paths, including a trail of fossilised dinosaur footprints that are utterly fascinating.
You can enjoy a day out within Sintra-Cascais Natural Park after just a 10-minute drive from the villa. Within the forest-covered mountains are pastel-coloured palaces that soar majestically above the treetops.
One of the most beautiful to visit is Pena National Palace, a 19th-century Romanticist structure built upon the ruins of an ancient monastery on the top of a hill. The palace is a beautiful and atmospheric place to explore, and the views from its grounds are breathtaking.
The traditional fishing town of Cascais is around a 35-minute drive away and offers the chance to soak up local daily life and culture. There are also plenty of attractions to visit, including the Condes de Castro Guimarães museum that displays furniture and art from a private collection of an early 20th-century Irish millionaire.At Excellence Luxury Villas we pride ourselves on going that little bit further for our guests.
