WESTERNMOST VILLA IN EUROPE WITH SPECTACULAR OCEAN VISTAS

A wonderful, gracious villa, absolutely perfect for a group of friends or an extended family (in our case three generations.) Enjoy breakfast & happy hour on the terrace, dinner around the large dining room table (could easily seat ten.) The Quinta is perfectly located for sightseeing in the greater Lisbon area, including a beautiful 25 minute drive to the world heritage town of Sintra (we went twice.) Park you car in Cascais (25 minute drive) and catch the train into Lisbon (we went twice.) There is a really good restaurant in the nearby village (about one mile) and grocery stores a short drive away (Go to the Jumbo to see an enormous fish department and counters piled high with salt cod.) Kids loved climbing around the fortress in Lisbon and the Moorish castle in Sintra. Highest recommendation!

We stayed there with our two boys 10 & 11 and my in laws (70 & 72) and had plenty of space, beautiful views and lots to do. It is a charming old Portuguese home which is very clean and well kept. The owner, Katia, was flexible with our length of stay and very prompt in returning emails. The view and grounds are outstanding! My mother-in-law gets motion sickness and is used to a modern American lifestyle, this was not the ideal trip for her, but the rest of us had a wonderful stay! I would highly recommend it!

What an amazing villa! Huge, very comfortable, secluded and private (surrounded by a national park), idyllic setting and a perfect base of operation to explore the many nearby sights, Lisbon and the rest of Portugal. It is close enough to the numerous marvels of Sintra to be able to visit there many times. And the most spectacular beach we've ever seen, Ursa Beach, is just a short stroll away (and this comes from a well-traveled Californian). Would recommend walking to and exploring along the flower-clad seaside cliff tops and the Cabo da Roca lighthouse (on the western-most point in all of Europe), which the villa has a commanding view of. The listing description is accurate and the photographs only begin to capture how remarkably beautiful it is. We found the property very clean and well-maintained. The care taker and maid, who live in a separate house on the grounds, are readily available, were very helpful and friendly, and kept the villa immaculate. The owner was helpful with all of our questions. Our teenage daughter had us connected to the internet Wi-Fi within moments of our arrival - And reception was clear and strong from anywhere on the grounds. My family stayed for two of the most wonderful weeks of our lives and we hope to return again as often as possible. I would highly recommend this to both family and friends, and hope to return there with them to share in the delight of this remarkable place. We really loved it!
