Waterfront
The villa is just 300 m from the beautiful sands of Praia Troia, so you can go from the front door to the beach in a matter of minutes.
Restaurants and a supermarket are within easy walking distance also. Being on a peninsula, the beach tends to be quiet, so you can explore the long sandy stretches and warm waters without worrying about crowds.
There are beautiful views across the sea to the city of Setubal, and you can even get a ferry from the marina that will take you straight there. If you're lucky, you'll also spot the dolphins that congregate in this area and like to swim near the boats.
If you're a keen golfer, you'll be pleased to know that an 18-hole golf course is just 3 km away from the villa. If you prefer something a bit more relaxed, a spa is within easy reach for a pampering session after a long day out.
For history lovers, there are the Roman Ruins of Troia to explore. What was once a Roman fish salting complex is now an intriguing site where you can learn more about the trade in the area and the impact it had on local life.
Take the 15-minute ferry trip to Setubal, and you'll find plenty of exciting attractions and things to do with the family. The Sado Estuary Nature Reserve is an area of wetland between the Sado estuary and the sea and features countless species of birds.
Habitats include marshes, sandbanks, rice paddies and woods, with the opportunity to explore many of these on hiking trails.

The Region
The Troia Peninsula is one of the most beautiful coastlines of Portugal, with a 13 km stretch of pristine sands, crystal clear waters and pine forested sand dunes. Reachableby ferry from Setubal, the pristine setting of the Tróia Peninsula is unquestionably one of Portugal’s best-kept secrets.
Sheltered by mountains, the Troia Peninsula enjoys a mild microclimate. The Reserva Natural do Estuario do Sado covers part of the peninsula and is a good place to go birdwatching. The waters around the peninsula are home to a school of bottlenose dolphins. Dolphin-watching trips leave from the marina, or you may even spot them gambolling in the surf on the ferry trip across the estuary.
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!
