It offers table football, table tennis, a lounge area with television, a dining area and a kitchen with a wine fridge. It is the ideal space for teenagers wanting some fun away from the rest of the group. One of the bedrooms is also located on this level with a queensize bed and a bathroom with a walk-in shower.
The lower, pool level is home to the main living spaces which are open plan in design and brimming with lovely, contemporary furnishings.

The appliances are excellent and include Nespresso and American coffee machines. The outside terrace is perfect for shaded alfresco dining and lounging, the perfect spot for relaxation, pre-dinner cocktails and using the villa’s barbecue.

Quinta da Marinha Golf Resort also offers 8 clay tennis courts, 2 sythetic grass tennis courts, 3 padel courts, 3 squash courts, a sauna, gym, indoor swimming pool, restaurants and the fantastic Marinha Equestrian Centre. Oitavos Dunes Golf is the first golf course in Europe and the second in the world to become a Gold Certified Signature Sanctuary. Penha Longa enjoys stunning panoramic views over the Sinta mountain range. Estoril is one of the oldest and best-known courses in Portugal. Quinta da Beloura and Belas also enjoy amazing reputations.
The vibrant, cosmopolitan city of Lisbon can be reached quickly by train from Cascais. It is very popular for its much photographed, colourful trams, the foodie haven Time Out Market, the Oceanarium, the zoo, the pretty azulejos, the different markets, the fabulous wine bars and restaurants, the historic monuments, the lovely waterfront and the fabulous squares. Close by, Belem is very popular for its specialist pastry shop, monastery and botanic gardens.
Estoril is 5.8km away with its famous casino, Sintra 18km and Lisbon is 32km away. Cascais and Sintra offer some of the best seaside bathing areas in Portugal. Towards Estoril you will find sheltered beaches and between Cascais and Praia das Macas, visitors will enjoy wilder conditions. The Blue Flag Praia da Conceicao is one of Cascais’ largest and most popular beaches. At low tide it is connected to the neighbouring Praia da Duquesa but as the tide comes in they separate. Praia da Adraga Beach, 18km north of Cascais, offers stunning scenery with dramatic cliffs, jagged rocks and golden sand. In between you will discover Praia do Guincho, the famous surfing beach with dramatic, natural scenery. Guincho is situated on the western edge of the Serra da Sintra National Park, protecting the fabulous beach from tourist development.
Set in the lush hills of the Serra de Sintra, visitors will discover Sintra’s colourful, extravagant palaces, opulent mansions and the ruins of an ancient castle. Sintra is brimming with fascinating, historic buildings and charming, narrow lanes filled with quaint restaurants and cafes. The Pena Palace is one of the finest tourist attractions in Portugal and exemplifies the 19th century Romanticism style of architecture. There is an alluring mix of vivid painted terraces, mythological statues and decorative battlements, all in the luscious Parque de Pena forest.

THE REGION
A coastal town just 20 miles west of Lisbon, Cascais was once a small fishing village, but its idyllic scenery attracted the attention of artists, writers and expelled European nobility in the 20th century. Today, it still attracts high society, but all society comes into force to enjoy the gorgeous beaches and adventure options like sailing and surfing.
Cascais also sits just west of Lisbon and right on the edge of the Sintra-Cascais Natural Park, meaning there are ample opportunities for exciting day trips. When you’re not off an excursion up the coast, you’ll find Cascais has plenty of its own allures. Take your pick of gorgeous sandy coves, wander around culture-packed art centres, book a surfing lesson or sit down to dine on some of the best food in the region.
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 in 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!

Kids
Best Suited For: All AgesCasa Birre is a wonderful base for a family holiday. The swimming pool is a delight plus there is an extremely spacious lower living space and games room.
The Lisbon Coast beaches are amazing for families. Some are sheltered and others boasts incredible surf. There are several surf schools in Praia do Guincho, including Moana Surf School, Kitesurf School SBKiteboarding and Guincho Surf Shop. Moana Surf School has been open since 2003 and teaches children from the age of 5 and adults.
Cascais enjoys a fabulous beach with a beautiful carousel. Most families enjoy the delightful walk along the promenade. The Museu Condes de Castro Guimaraes boasts beautiful gardens where children can run around with the peacocks and chickens that reside there. Children love seeing boats bobbing in the marina and Cascais has plenty of ice cream parlours. You can take a boat trip with Dolphin Explorers to see the dolphins off the Cascais coast. Older children enjoy the entertainment complex Playbowling Cascais with its bowling, games rooms including laser rooms and paintball playgrounds. Marechal Carmona Park is lovely with spacious green lawns and a beautiful pond where children enjoy the fish and ducks. The ancient Nossa Senhora da Luz Fortress is fascinating and enjoys sensational sea views. Cascais’ Museo do Mar is dedicated to the sea and everything related to it. You will find miniature copies of ships, shells, portraits of world famous seafarers and other displays.
A jeep safari tour plunging into the mystical Serra de Sintra is great fun, passing through Cabo da Roca. Children will feel like princes and princesses at the magical Pena Palace. The palace looks as though it has just come from a fairytale book. The gardens are beautiful and a good place for a quick game of hide and seek!
In Lisbon, children enjoy the Oceanarium with its four huge tanks representing the different oceanic regions of the world and the fantastic zoo. The number 28 tram is especially popular, screeching and clattering through the narrow streets of the Alfama district. The huge open square is also very popular.
