Why Vicky Swain chose Cascais
I fell in love with Cascais as a child while visiting family and purchased this home in 1996. Cascais is a slower pace than Lisbon, yet only 30 minutes away on the train. I love the fact that the house is 10 minutes walk in to town, yet has a lovely garden and pool space with good privacy.
What makes this Villa unique
I love the windows in this home. Casa Catarina has sun shine all day streaming in. I chose this house as the street is quiet being a one way street. The house is situated in the center away from the road. I fell in love with the arched ivy entrance over the gate ways, which gives you a cottage feel. All my guests have commented on the comfort and feel good atmosphere of Casa Catarina. So far lots of Happy guests, and I look forward to greeting many more. See you soon! x Vicky .

Beautiful villa
This is a beautiful villa with everything you would need for a lovely holiday. The garden and pool area are really well maintained and very private with lots of seating and out door eating areas. The villa itself is very clean and comfortable with a well equipped kitchen. The area is a nice residential area and it's a short walk to cafes and a supermarket and about 25 minutes walk from the main town, and very easy to get a bus or taxi. Vicky is very helpful and kind. We had a great stay.
Ideal family holiday home
Lovely house, well equipped, and a great location. Vicky was super at responding to queries.
Beautiful stay at this villa
I stayed here for 5 nights with my family and 7 month baby boy and we all had a fantastic stay.
The pool was great especially the baby pool which was lovely and warm our son loved splashing around in it. The villa was spacious and well equipped and really was a home away from home.
Cascais town centre was a 15/20 min walk (it is on a hill but it’s good exercise!) if you don’t want to walk an Uber is only 3 euros and easy to pick up in town. The town has lots of good restaurants and a variety of cuisines.
Vicky the host was great and clearly takes great pride in being a villa host. She gave us some good local information and always responded really fast with any questions.
I would definitely recommend this property for a great family holiday.
Memorable Three Generation Holiday
Victoria made sure that our grandson, our son and his pregnant wife and the two of us were comfortable in her tastefully decorated home and provided with all of the services and supplies necessary to enjoy a very special holiday stay in Cascais. It was a lovely house in a great neighbourhood, within walking distance to the town's center.
Great house!
Vicky was very welcoming and accommodated our early check in . House very comfortable and very well equipped, lovely garden with pool. Loved Cascais. Would definitely return !
Simply perfect
Vicki is a wonderful and helpful hostess. She rang us to update us on any relevant information during out stay. Her house is a beautiful peaceful sanctuary tucked away in a residential part of Cascais yet only a ten minute walk to town.
The kitchen is fully equipped with every utensil you will require for cooking.
The garden is beautifully maintained and a welcome relief from the heat of the day.
We were so sad to leave and would happily return and would highly recommend this beautiful home.
