Location
About the surrounding area of Villa FioriThis beautiful modern villa facing the Atlantic coast is only 15 minutes from the vibrant town of Cascais or the world heritage site at Sintra.
The local beach with its beautiful white sands backed by sand dunes can actually be seen from the villa and is only a 20 minutes walk along a woodland path. Due to its privileged position on the western edge of the National Park this fabulous beach is fully protected from any tourist development. Guincho beach is truly beautiful and unspoiled, perfect for kite and windsurfers. The sea can be tricky, powerful currents and big waves at times make swimming challenging, it is always watched over by lifeguards in the summer time. It is a great beach to relax on just taking in the sights and sounds and especially in the evening to watch the spectacular sunsets which are guaranteed. The big sand dunes offer great walks one starts roughly opposite the old fortress Fortaleza do Guincho with boardwalks and meandering paths providing stunning views. Cascais and Sintra offer some of the best beaches and water sports opportunities in Portugal, if you head a little further towards Estoril the beaches are more sheltered, whereas around Cascais and Praia das Macas you get magnificent surfing waves. North of Cascais at Praia da Adraga, you have your classic picture postcard Portuguese beach with dramatic cliffs, jagged rocks and golden sand.
If it’s a golfing holiday you are after, there are several courses to choose from nearby. The courses here are special not just because the locals keep them in such great condition, but the incredible thought which has gone into their designs to really incorporate the natural beauty of the region they inhabit. The immaculate course at Quinta da Marinha Golf Resort is particularly special, with the added bonus that your round will not be grudged as there is something here for the whole family, whether it be tennis, squash, swimming or horse riding.
Cascais has the classic beach town vibe now but once it was a humble fishing village and defence outpost, it was transformed into a stylish summer resort following the attention of King Louis 11 who used the city as his summer residence. Now it has much more to offer: history, epic street art in the form of many incredible giant murals painted on the gable ends of properties throughout town and stunning centuries old architecture as well as a myriad of cobbled street with cafés, restaurants and bustling bars to tempt you out of the kitchen. Should you want to make the very best of the facilities at Villa Fiori the farmers market has a fantastic selection of local delicacies. And of course, there are the beaches and the harbour, taking you back to the very origins of the town.
Sintra is one of the most beautiful and unique places in Portugal, the castles and enchanting gardens, Pena Palace is particularly special and well worth the climb up to it.
If per chance you were to be on holiday in early October, take a trip to Estoril, the old F1 track from the 80’s comes alive again, to hear the roar of the engines, smell the gas and hear the roar of the crowd at the Estoril Classics would be a wonderful experience.
Lisbon is just a half hour drive or an hour by train should you want to take a day away from the sun, sea and sand. To enjoy the amazing capitol city of Portugal sitting nestled amongst seven hills you need to put on your walking shoes, but remember to cheat a little and hop on one of the bright yellow trams to give your feet a rest from making your way through the cobbled streets. The old city’s pastel coloured buildings, melding with the new, the Tagus ferries and the vibrant café culture make for an unforgettable day out.

THE REGION
A coastal town just 20 miles 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 allures. 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!

Kids
Best Suited For: All AgesVilla Fiori was made for a family holiday, the villa itself is just perfect with two bedrooms having single beds, a large lounge area for time spent together, accessible garden area, lots of places for hide and seek, a pool with safety guards and the roar of the waves audible all day every day, they certainly won’t be bored , and for the older ones there is of course Wi-Fi for the down time when chums have to be kept in touch with.
There are many options for holiday activities within minutes of Villa Fiori. A great family day out could be horse riding, there are several first class riding schools nearby offering hacks through forest trails or along the sand dunes to the beach, all abilities are well catered for, leave the kids with ponies and head off for that gallop along a sandy beach you have always dreamed of.
Beaches are clearly going to be the main attraction for youngsters and trying their hand at new activities is easy to do here with the warmer water and golden sands. There are several surf schools where they could have a lesson or two or try body boarding or a SUP if surfing is too difficult.
Going for the dinner ingredients in Cascais needn’t be a chore for the wee ones, there are plenty of distractions. Cascais has a great beach for children, so shallow it is almost warm, and safe enough as it gets deeper to try some snorkelling. There is also a lovely little beach at the harbour where they will love to sit and watch the shoals of small fish darting about and disappear as they go hiding under the boats. The cobbled streets are fun for them too, I’m sure they will love the beautiful murals, they may even become markers on your visits into town. As you wander around you may well hear the sound of a carousel, this magical ride can be found in the gardens of the beautiful local park, Jardim Visconde da Luz – I hope they have plenty euros to spend, be prepared for return visits!
If there was one museum in Cascais to take the children to I would recommend Musea do Mar it is centred around the traditions of the fishing community of the town with subjects such as fossils, boats and fishing stories, with life size models of whales and sharks it is sure to keep them entertained for a couple of hours and maybe spark interest or rekindle a lapsed one.
