Villa Merida Portugal

The enchanting Villa Merida is located in the very prestigious town of Cascais, on the Lisbon Coast. With five bedrooms, this stunning, luxurious, contemporary gem of a holiday home sleeps 10 guests in superb comfort. With impressive interior design, trendy bathrooms, excellent social spaces and a wonderful garden, pool and terrace, guests will relax in style. The villa enjoys a wonderful location where you can even catch a glimpse of Sintra’s majestic palace from the first-floor balcony.
Cascais is upmarket, classy and enjoys a fascinating history. Once a charming Portuguese fishing town, Cascais was the summer retreat of the Portuguese nobility. Today it is an elegant fusion of its heritage and everything you hope for from a modern tourist town. Within the narrow, cobbled streets of the historic centre, you will find interesting museums, an imposing fort, lavish houses and charming, unique shops and restaurants. You can enjoy delicious waterside cocktails and fresh fish at the gourmet restaurants. A short train ride can take you into the centre of Lisbon or to one of the delightful beaches along the coast. Around the corner, you will find the atmospheric and beautiful Sintra.
This contemporary property boasts 5 spacious bedrooms and an outstanding open plan living space. The stylish, modern furnishings are top-notch. The villa flows very well from space to space.

Villa Merida is located in the swanky town of Cascais, 4km from the gorgeous beach of Praia da Conceicao. Golf lovers will be overjoyed by the golf available nearby and all around you.
We will find a fantastic gastronomic scene. Estoril is 7.3km away, and Sintra 16km. Lisbon is 30km away. Cascais and Sintra offer some of the best seaside bathing areas in Portugal. Towards Estoril, you will find sheltered beaches, and between Cascais and Praia das Macas, visitors will enjoy wilder conditions. The Blue Flag Praia da Conceicao is one of Cascais’ largest and most popular beaches. It is connected to the neighbouring Praia da Duquesa at low tide, but as the tide comes in, they separate. Praia da Adraga Beach, 18km north of Cascais, offers stunning scenery with dramatic cliffs, jagged rocks and golden sand. In between, you will discover Praia do Guincho, the famous surfing beach with dramatic, natural scenery. Guincho is situated on the western edge of the Serra da Sintra National Park, protecting the fabulous beach from tourist development.
Set in the lush hills of the Serra de Sintra, visitors will discover Sintra’s colourful, extravagant palaces, opulent mansions and the ruins of an ancient castle. 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 luscious Parque de Pena forest. How amazing that you can see the palace from Villa Merida’s first-floor balcony!
Golf fans will be delighted with the location of Villa Merida. There are six golf courses close by. These include the extraordinary Quinta da Marinha, designed by Robert Trent Jones, set amongst beautiful pine trees and stretches down to Guincho Beach. It enjoys magical scenery with its hole number 13 descending to the sea. Quinta da Marinha Golf Resort also offers 8 clay tennis courts, 2 synthetic grass tennis courts, 3 padel courts, 3 squash courts, a sauna, gym, indoor swimming pool, restaurants and the fantastic Marinha Equestrian Centre. Oitavos Dunes Golf is the first golf course in Europe and the second in the world to become a Gold Certified Signature Sanctuary.
