About this property
Family-friendly villa with pool & beautiful view, near beaches, surfing & golf
Very attractive private family-home villa with pool, within 10-15 minutes drive to five lovely beaches (with great surfing) and various golf courses & tennis. The villa is set in its own large garden, with a fantastic location on the lower slopes of the hills running up from the sea, with a marvellous view up to the wooded mountain of Sintra. The villa is large, with lovely spacious living rooms, with a lawn, a big terrace and its own sheltered swimming pool.
- The house is 45 minutes drive from Lisbon and Lisbon airport and is 15 minutes from the historic town of Sintra and from various beautiful palaces. Tennis courts, mountain biking, golf courses and riding facilities are also all within 15 minutes drive. There are many great restaurants nearby, especially for seafood.
- The Sintra region is one of the most interesting in Portugal, with castles, palaces and gardens to visit. Overlooking the town are the ramparts of the 8th century Castelo dos Mouros, and the eccentric Pena Palace. The nearby town of Colares is charming, and the exotic gardens and small palace of Montserrat are only 10 minutes away by car.
- The sandy beaches of Sintra's coastline are famous: Praia Grande (great for surfing), Praia das Maçãs, Praia da Adraga, Praiai da Adraga and Magoito (further south), are all from 10 to 20 minutes car trip from the house. There is a big beach called Guincho south west of the house, where the surfing world championships have been held.
- Many superb seafood and other restaurants, especially in Praia das Macas,
- Eight excellent golf courses close by
- Tennis, riding, mountain biking
- Fabulous walks, both along the coastal clifftops and in the hills of Sintra
- Local festivals in the summer in Sintra (arts and music), in Mucifal (local folk festival) and elsewhere
- Best of all, relax by the pool in the villa, with its lawn and breath-taking mountain views
- sleeps 12 plus 1 baby cot provided
** Full information pack provided to enquirers with details of beaches, restaurants, shops etc.

About the host
Hosted by Mark Hudson

The villa is a family home, and most of the family live in the UK. The house has character and is well looked after.
Why they chose this property
The villa was the family home of my parents-in-law, who no longer live there. However, it is still the family holiday home.
What makes this property unique
* The house has a stunning view of the mountain of Sintra, from a lovely and huge terrace, below which the lawn slopes gently down to the pool.
* The villa is large but it is still cosy and very easy to live in.
* It is in a beautiful area, within easy reach of 5 attractive beaches, many restaurants, lots of unique sights and walks (in Sintra and the Serra) .. and yet is only 45 minutes from the centre of Lisbon.
