The contemporary and spacious Casa do Loren is located in the tranquil, pretty village of Aldeia do Meco, 2.4km from Bicas Beach, 3km from the beautiful Meco Beach, 13km from Sesimbra and 40km from Lisbon. With 4 bedrooms in total, the villa sleeps up to 8 guests in modern comfort. Casa do Loren and the villa next door, Quinta do Lorenzo, can be booked together to accommodate up to 16 guests.
The peaceful village of Aldeia do Meco is known for its gorgeous, unspoilt beach with breathtaking sunsets and delicious seafood restaurants. At the northern end of Meco Beach, the picturesque Lagoa de Albufeira is a lagoon popular for windsurfing, sailing and stand-up paddleboarding. Alfarim, another attractive village, is 3km away with good, varied shops, a bakery, butcher, bank, supermarkets and cosy cafes. Lisbon is just 30 minutes away by car.
Casa do Loren is contemporary and stylish and a great choice for a family or friends looking to split their time between the stunning beaches and countryside and the vibrant city of Lisbon with everything that it has to offer. The villa is very well furnished with swanky, modern furniture which looks great as well as being very comfortable. The decor is neutral and calming with white, grey and sandy colours. The open-plan living and dining room is very spacious and opens on both sides to the garden and terrace. It is therefore extremely bright and airy. The kitchen is modern and sleek and also opens to the pool terrace. Also downstairs are three excellent bedrooms, one with a double bed, another with twins, though these mattresses are next to each other making one huge bed and another room which has two single beds. You need to go through this room to reach the downstairs bedrooms. There is a dazzling modern bathroom and a separate toilet. Upstairs is the master bedroom, with a double bed and en-suite bathroom with a shower.
Casa do Loren boasts wonderful outside space with a fabulous green and colourful garden, an excellent 12m x 5m swimming pool, a delightful terrace with sun loungers, covered alfresco dining and a barbecue. There is also table tennis for your enjoyment as well as four bicycles to borrow upon request. There are many quiet little corners you can find if you want a quiet moment to read your holiday book or just enjoy the tranquil, secluded surroundings.
Casa do Loren sits next to our other property Quinta do Lorenzo, which sleeps up to 8 guests between 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. Each property can be rented individually, but the villas may also work well for larger groups looking to stay together while maintaining individual privacy.

Walk to Restaurant
Casa do Loren is situated in a tranquil, natural region with excellent wine cellars that you can visit when you return from the spectacular beaches. The cuisine offered in the region is excellent and includes much fresh fish as well as local cheeses and the small, popular swiss rolls or tortas that are specialities of the region.
Golf fans will be delighted with the recommended championship golf courses, Quinta do Peru (20 km), Aroeira (30 km), Montado (40 km), Santo Estevão (40 km) and Tróia (40 km).
Half an hour away is the vibrant, cosmopolitan city of Lisbon. Popular attractions of Lisbon are the much photographed, colourful trams, the foodie haven Time Out Market, the Oceanarium, the zoo, the pretty azulejos, the different markets, the fabulous wine bars and restaurants, the historic monuments, the lovely waterfront and the fabulous squares. Close by, Belem is very popular for its specialist pastry shop, monastery and botanic gardens.
A very short drive from the villa is the fabulous town of Sesimbra. The fresh fish is delicious and can be eaten in the many Marisqueira restaurants or bought at the buzzy fish market. The beach stretches around the whole bay and is lovely and sandy. If you walk around the cliffs towards Biscas Beach you will come to Cabo Espichel, a wild and exposed cliff headland, boasting two sets of dinosaur footprints, a lighthouse and incredible views. The headland was once an important pilgrimage destination. Sebutal is at the heart of the Portuguese sardine industry and also famed for its sweet and globally acclaimed moscatel wine.
If you want to compare coastlines you can visit the lovely town of Cascais from Lisbon. Cascais was historically the summer retreat of the Portuguese nobility. Today it is an elegant fusion of fabulous heritage and modern tourism. There are various museums, an imposing fort and charming shops and restaurants within the cobbled streets of the historic centre

The Region
Set on a curving turquoise bay just 40 km south of Lisbon, Sesimbra is both an attractive fishing town and a popular tourist resort within easy reach of the capital. Sesimbra is one of the finest beach resorts in Portugal. It is adored by the Portuguese who flock to the region for their holidays, drawn by the pristine beached, relaxed atmosphere and outstanding seafood restaurants.
Near Sesimbra, there are the beaches of the Arrábida Natural Park, which are considered among the most beautiful beaches in Portugal. The most famous one is Praia do Figueirinha, a long sandy shore kissed by calm and crystalline waters.
The outstanding beaches and tourist attractions make Sesimbra an enjoyable family holiday. Around the region, there is much to visit, like Cabo Espichel headland or a scenic drive through the Arrabida hills and a visit to the paradise beaches of the Portinho de Arrabida.
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 on 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!
