Cascais is 9km away and is a charming Portuguese fishing town. Historically, Cascais was the summer retreat of the Portuguese nobility. Today it is an elegant fusion of its fabulous heritage and modern tourism. Within the cobbled streets of the historic centre are museums, an imposing fort, lavish villas and charming shops and restaurants. A short train ride can take you into the centre of Lisbon or to one of the lovely beaches along the coast.
The gorgeous Sintra is 22km from the villa, amongst the hills of the Serra de Sintra. Within the pine covered hills are colourful, extravagant palaces, opulent mansions and the ruins of an ancient castle. The town is enthralling with these 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.
