About Vicky Swain

I am English/Portuguese. I have been living in Portugal most of my life.

I love to hike.

Favourate places- Kashmir, Atlas mountains and Sintra mountains in Portugal. My passions are travel and hospitality, the Opera, good books, and chocolate :)

Vicky Swain purchased this house in 1996
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 house 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 .

Very curious, we drove from Lisbon tot Cascais with our two rented cars. My parents, sister en two brothers and I were about to stay in Casa Catarina for a week.
When Vicky opened the gate with her welcoming smile we felt at home instantly.
We were able to park both cars inside the gate, which gave a feeling of safety.

Vicky opened the front door for us, and like old times we checked out the house. 'look at this room, what a nice bed, ooooh I would like to stay in this room'!
In the end, all of the children( 4) had choosen their own room and my parents took the master bedroom off course.
All the rooms were very clean and smelled fresh, to freshly washed linen.
In the kitchen, every possible utillity was there, including coffee and tea.
The outside area is bigger then it looks on the website.A sunny roofterras on the shed with a large table and many chairs was a suprise.
After a refreshing dive in the swimming pool we relaxed in one of the many lounge chairs with soft cushions. The garden really invites to chill out and enjoy the sun.

After 2 sunny days we unfortunately had 2 rainy days. In the house it was a bit chilly,but Vicky directly provided a automatic heater, so we could make the temperature more comfortable.

We really enjoyed our stay at Casa Catarina, because it felt like a home. It's situated in a nice neighbourhood instead of a holiday park, which gives you the feeling you are part of the local buzz for a week.

I am sure we will come back one day, as we had such a good time here.I would defenitely recommend this house to friends and relatives, as I know they won't be disappointed.

Lovely Casa Catarina

5 of 5
Submitted: November 2, 2012 Stayed: October 2012
Casa Catarina is a beautiful villa conveniently located in Cascais near Lisbon, beaches and Sintra. Grocery shopping and the centre of Cascais are only a few minutes away.

We (family of 4) loved Vicky's warm welcome and hospitality! Casa Catarina itself felt like a home to us because of all the personal touches: the books, the abundance of kitchen supplies and so on. Furthermore, it was spotless and very well-maintained.

We can't think of anything we didn't like and can definitely recommend it to anybody.

Lovely Home!

This home is very lovely with all the amenities needed for a wonderful holiday. It is very clean and well maintained. We had a group of 6 adults and it suited us wonderfully. It is about a 10 minute walk down to Cascais for shopping or beach activities. There are lots of great restaurants and cafes within walking distance as well. One could not ask for a better owner to work with than Vicky. She is very gracious and is always interested in helping her guests with whatever they might need. Her daughter Kate is a lovely young lady as well and their dog Oscar is very good natured. I would highly recommend this home as I am sure it will be a highlight of your holiday.

A lovely house to come back to after exploring Lisbon, my main interest on this holiday but other members of our group just wanted to chill.....on the beach, in the great bars and restaurants of Cascais or back at Casa Catarina around the inviting pool. There was something for everyone. The house works perfectly, really comfortable and obviously decorated with love and care by Vicky.
Thanks Vicky for a really most delightful stay. We hope to be back some day.
