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.

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.

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!

Had a wonderful holiday
Great house, nice and spacious, large swimming pool and table tennis table. Both outside and inside lots of space and nice light inside. Fully equipped kitchen. Had a wonderful holiday, quiet (late season so little crowds at the campsite on the other side of the road) and close to the beach. For 6 a top house and with 8 adults you have to take each other into account a little more, but even then it remains a wonderfully spacious and comfortable house.

"Simply wonderful"
Casa do Loren is the perfect retreat. It's beautifully designed and furnished to a high standard. The beds are extremely comfortable with good quality bedding. The kitchen is well equipped and there are numerous outside dining and seating areas. All in all you couldn't ask for more. The villa is in a peaceful location, a walk of around 15 minutes to the cliff top to watch glorious sunsets. A further 10 minutes down some hand carved steps takes you down to a beautiful and quiet beach stretching for miles. You can also get to the beach by car where there are great restaurants. I couldn't recommend Casa do Loren more highly..

"Lovely pristine villa in quiet surroundings"
Casa Loren exceeded expectations and proved to be every bit as beautiful as the photos on the website suggested. Local restaurants and beaches are all of a very high standard, and there is plenty to do in this peaceful area of Portugal. We had a lovely 9 days here and would love to return soon
