The kitchen is modern and sleek and also opens to the pool terrace.

Location
About the surrounding area of Casa do LorenCasa do Loren is situated in a tranquil, natural region with excellent wine cellars that you can visit when you return from the spectacular beaches. The cuisine offered in the region is excellent and includes much fresh fish as well as local cheeses and the small, popular swiss rolls or tortas that are specialities of the region.
Golf fans will be delighted with the recommended championship golf courses, Quinta do Peru (20 km), Aroeira (30 km), Montado (40 km), Santo Estevão (40 km) and Tróia (40 km).
Half an hour away is the vibrant, cosmopolitan city of Lisbon. Popular attractions of Lisbon are the 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.
A very short drive from the villa is the fabulous town of Sesimbra. The fresh fish is delicious and can be eaten in the many Marisqueira restaurants or bought at the buzzy fish market. The beach stretches around the whole bay and is lovely and sandy. If you walk around the cliffs towards Biscas Beach you will come to Cabo Espichel, a wild and exposed cliff headland, boasting two sets of dinosaur footprints, a lighthouse and incredible views. The headland was once an important pilgrimage destination. Sebutal is at the heart of the Portuguese sardine industry and also famed for its sweet and globally acclaimed moscatel wine.
If you want to compare coastlines you can visit the lovely town of Cascais from Lisbon. Cascais was historically the summer retreat of the Portuguese nobility. Today it is an elegant fusion of fabulous heritage and modern tourism. There are various museums, an imposing fort and charming shops and restaurants within the cobbled streets of the historic centre

THE REGION
Set on a curving turquoise bay just 40 km south of Lisbon, Sesimbra is both an attractive fishing town and a popular tourist resort within easy reach of the capital. Sesimbra is one of the finest beach resorts in Portugal. It is adored by the Portuguese who flock to the region for their holidays, drawn by the pristine beached, relaxed atmosphere and outstanding seafood restaurants.
Near Sesimbra, there are the beaches of the Arrábida Natural Park, which are considered among the most beautiful beaches in Portugal. The most famous one is Praia do Figueirinha, a long sandy shore kissed by calm and crystalline waters.
The outstanding beaches and tourist attractions make Sesimbra an enjoyable family holiday. Around the region, there is much to visit, like Cabo Espichel headland or a scenic drive through the Arrabida hills and a visit to the paradise beaches of the Portinho de Arrabida.
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 on 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 do Loren is a fantastic, secluded base for a family holiday. Children will love the swimming pool, the table tennis, having use of some bikes and the excellent beaches close by. Bicas Beach is excellent for surfing and Meco Beach has much entertainment, including the annual frisbee competition! There are diving and sailing schools as well as wonderful boat trips to enjoy the dolphins and the attractive coastline. There are some excellent hiking and cycling paths.
Lisbon has a modern zoo, an excellent Oceanarium, colourful trams and a number interesting museums. Lisbon Zoo hosts dolphin and sea lion shows in the large pool and boasts a reptile house, snake house, aviaries and a petting farm. Children love traveling on the trams in Lisbon and eating the famous custard tarts. The waterfront is lovely with many bars and restaurants.
Children will certainly enjoy the beach at Cascais, as well as the pretty carousel and a lovely stroll along the promenade. The Museu Condes de Castro Guimaraes has pretty gardens where children can run around with the peacocks and chickens that reside there.
At Sintra, children will feel like princes and princesses at the stunning Pena Palace. You can take a jeep safari tour plunging into the mystical Serra de Sintra. Tuk tuks will take you up the mountain to the palace, again great fun for children.
Children will also enjoy horse riding in the fragrant pine forests and on the beach with the local stables Centro Hipico do Convento de Sao Domingos, Azeitao, Centro Gipico Granja Paraiso, Sesimbra and Central Hipico Quinta do Picao, Azeitao.

Had a wonderful holiday
Great house, nice and spacious, large swimming pool and table tennis table. Both outside and inside lots of space and nice light inside. Fully equipped kitchen. Had a wonderful holiday, quiet (late season so little crowds at the campsite on the other side of the road) and close to the beach. For 6 a top house and with 8 adults you have to take each other into account a little more, but even then it remains a wonderfully spacious and comfortable house.

"Simply wonderful"
Casa do Loren is the perfect retreat. It's beautifully designed and furnished to a high standard. The beds are extremely comfortable with good quality bedding. The kitchen is well equipped and there are numerous outside dining and seating areas. All in all you couldn't ask for more. The villa is in a peaceful location, a walk of around 15 minutes to the cliff top to watch glorious sunsets. A further 10 minutes down some hand carved steps takes you down to a beautiful and quiet beach stretching for miles. You can also get to the beach by car where there are great restaurants. I couldn't recommend Casa do Loren more highly..

"Lovely pristine villa in quiet surroundings"
Casa Loren exceeded expectations and proved to be every bit as beautiful as the photos on the website suggested. Local restaurants and beaches are all of a very high standard, and there is plenty to do in this peaceful area of Portugal. We had a lovely 9 days here and would love to return soon
