Villa Dilma Portugal

A stunning sea-view villa for up to 14 guests, Villa Dilma is located around 11km from Cascais, within the magnificent Sintra-Cascais Natural Park. Just a short drive from Guincho beach and the unmissable city of Sintra, this modern villa enjoys quiet surroundings and has its own private, heated swimming pool.
The expansive outdoor area enjoys a magnificent Atlantic backdrop, with comfortable sun loungers positioned around the 12m x 5m pool. Several attractive seating areas and a barbecue and dining area can also be found here, with trees surrounding the gardens adding an extra element of privacy.
Inside, an open-plan living and dining area is situated on the ground floor. With large glass doors giving a view of the pool and terrace, this area offers lots of seating as well as TV and a large dining space. It connects to the impressive kitchen where you have top-quality appliances and all the equipment you could need, as well as an island and breakfast bar.
A twin bedroom with en suite bathroom is also on the ground floor, while the master suite is upstairs – it has a bath tub and shower, and a terrace with sea view. Another twin suite and a double suite are located on the lower ground floor, along with extra beds for two guests. A private master suite is located in the house beside the pool, too. If you require beds for a 13th and 14th guest, these can be provided and placed in other bedrooms.
Villa Dilma’s location puts some of the most beautiful spots on the Lisbon Coast within reach. Cascais itself is a chilled-out coastal town well worth a look, while 20 minutes’ drive north, Sintra will impress with its elaborate palaces and forested Pena Park. At just 35 minutes west of the capital, Cascais is a great base for trips to Lisbon’s many attractions, including many fine museums and the impressive Castelo de São Jorge.Hugely popular with visitors, Cascais is around 35 minutes’ drive from Lisbon, just outside the expansive Sintra-Cascais Natural Park which runs down Portugal’s most westerly fringe. Once a small fishing village, it’s now a major resort with the facilities to match, but it hasn’t lost its charm or a sense of its history – you can still see why it was the place to be for the Portuguese nobility of the 1800s.
With none of the hilliness of the capital, a day spent in Cascais is an easy-going affair. One of its key attractions is the opulent Castro Guimares Museum, featuring artefacts of Portuguese history dating back many centuries. The museum sits in the pretty Jardim Marechal Carmona gardens, and its brightly coloured, decorative facade means you are unlikely to miss it.
The Praia da Ribiera is just one of many fine beaches in the area, and centrally located. The walk to the impressive Boca do Inferno cliffs is a popular one and scenic too, while the marina area provides another pleasant spot to while away some time with a drink or two.Around 4km north of Cascais, Estoril is a sophisticated spot famed for both its motorsport racetrack and its centrepiece casino – said to have provided Ian Fleming with the inspiration for a certain James Bond, no less. It lacks the heritage of Cascais, but if you fancy a night at the roulette wheel, or a day at the steering wheel, it’s the place to go.
Sintra, on the other hand, is not lacking in history, and punches above its weight when it comes to intriguing architecture. From the romantic Palacio da Pena with its whimsical details to the arabesque Palacio de Monserrate and gothic Palacio Nacional, it’s worth arranging an organised tour to learn about these sights in more detail. You certainly won’t run out of things to see in a hurry – and if you need a break from it all, the wonderful Guincho beach or landmark Cabo da Roca provide excellent chill-out locations.At Excellence Luxury Villas we pride ourselves on going that little bit further for our guests.
