Outdoor Pursuit & Activities
Villa Antiana enjoys a lovely location, just 3.5 km from the gorgeous Praia da Ribeira de Cascais Beach and very close to the superb Quinta da Marinha Golf Resort. It is only 3 km from Estoril and 34 km from Lisbon.
Cascais is a wonderful town, very popular and offering a superb coastline with gorgeous sandy beaches ideal for children and families. The old part of Cascais boasts chic shops, bustling bars and plenty of alfresco restaurants.
Golf fans are always delighted with the location of Villa Antiana. There are five golf courses within a 15 minute drive of the villa, including Quinta da Marinha, designed by Robert Trent Jones. The course 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. Quinta da Marinha Golf Resort also offers 8 clay tennis courts, 2 sythetic 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 another golfing wonder. Penha Longa enjoys stunning panoramic views over the Sintra mountain range. Estoril is one of the oldest and best-known courses in Portugal. Quinta da Beloura and Belas also enjoy amazing reputations.
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. At low tide it is connected to the neighbouring Praia da Duquesa 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, lavish mansions and the ruins of an ancient castle. Sintra enjoys many 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 vivid painted terraces, mythological statues and decorative battlements, all in the luscious Parque de Pena forest.
The vibrant, cosmopolitan city of Lisbon can be reached quickly by train from Cascais if you do not want to drive. It is very popular for its much photographed, colourful trams, its foodie haven Time Out Market, its Oceanarium, its zoo, its pretty azulejos, its markets, its fabulous wine bars and restaurants, its historic monuments, its lovely waterfront and its fabulous squares. It is such a welcoming, cosmopolitan city. Close by, Belem is very popular for its specialist pastry shop, monastery and botanic gardens.

The Region
A coastal town just 30 km west of Lisbon, Cascais was once a small fishing village, but its idyllic scenery attracted the attention of artists, writers and expelled European nobility in the 20th century. Today, it still attracts high society, but all society comes into force to enjoy the gorgeous beaches and adventure options like sailing and surfing.
Cascais also sits just west of Lisbon and right on the edge of the Sintra-Cascais Natural Park, meaning there are ample opportunities for exciting day trips. When you’re not off an excursion up the coast, you’ll find Cascais has plenty of its own allure. Take your pick of gorgeous sandy coves, wander around culture-packed art centres, book a surfing lesson or sit down to dine on some of the best food in the region.
ABOUT THE LISBON COAST
The Lisbon Coast is a sensational stretch of golden beaches, wave-lashed cliffs and vibrant seaside towns – but there's more to the Atlantic coastline than that. Delve beneath the surface to discover hidden coves, family-owned seafood restaurants and pristine natural parks.
The coast around Lisbon provides an easy, breezy escape from the capital, whose proximity has made it the stomping ground of kings for the last 1,000 years. In summer, Lisboistas stream into elegant Comporta and Cascais to escape the heat of the city; year-round, surfers hang loose on the coast, waiting for the rollers to crash down on the sand.
But while you're enjoying one of our fantastic villas in Lisbon Coast, you may well want to take some time out from all that sun worship to explore everything else the region has to offer, so we've put together this handy travel guide to give you a little help and inspiration!
