About this property

Ideal for Cascais & Sintra

ln quiet surroundings of Manique village and Alcabidech. Considered some of the best in Europe, golf courses in this area are a major attraction for golfers with 9 of the best courses within reach. Cascais not only has a beautiful sandy beach but is also famous for Europe's biggest Casino & the F1 racing track Estoril. It is close to the Sintra Mountain Range and its National Park, to extensive beautiful beaches and it is only 25 km away from the vibrancy and culture of cosmopolitan Lisbon. This privileged location offers easy access by foot to the village for restaurants, supermarket and pharmacy.


Privileged location Manique Cascais: The resort Viallagio Manique is located near the Mountain Range and its natural parks, the extensive and beautiful beaches of the Estoril coast, and is located just 25 km/20 minutes from the beauty and culture of the metropolitan city of Lisbon.
This place will offer flexibility and entertainment in all means: sports activities such as tennis, golf, boat trips, windsurfing, diving, the gym and a beautiful scenery for hiking and jogging. The center of Cascais is only 10 min away and has a huge cultural diversity to offer, from the idyllic streets of a small fishing village with traditional restaurants and small shops, to a vibrant night life with a selection of clubs, bars and the supply of Europe's largest casinos: Casino Estoril which offers next to the gambling of any kind, musicals and exclusive Dinner facilities. Cascais is also the venue of many events and festivals through the year.

Privileged location surroundings: The town of Sintra, whose mountains and the subsequent National Park testify to the royal origin of this region are just 15 minutes away - and is classed as UNESCO World Heritage for their natural beauty and culture. The charm and the architecture Sintras, the castles, city walls and streets balance the ambiance of long forgotten eras. Remote from the day-to-day tourism authentic crafts and arts and restaurants can be found.

Beaches: Cascais offers the accessibility to some fantastic beaches and water sports. The Estoril Coast stretches along the beautiful west coast from Lisbon. Along the coast lie an abundance of sandy blue flag beaches and Sintra National Park.
The beaches of Cascais are on the coast estoril, the Tagus estuary, where the sea is calm, and you can find fine sand beaches. At larger beaches are the bars, restaurants, kiosks, beach tents and umbrellas available.
The long beach of Carcavelos is very popular, especially among surfers. The clerk above Cascais holds more remote beaches. Dunes and pine add a harmonious landscape image. The sea has washed here and there majestic caves in the cliffs, for example, the famous Boca do Inferno just 2 km from Cascais.

Spacious and comfortable property in a lovely spot

We stayed for 5 nights here. Using the pool and tennis court every day - we appeared to be the only users which was great. We had a hire car but also made use of the local bus (413)from Manique village square to get to Cascais, buses run until late in the evening so plenty time for dinner in Cascais with no one having to drive back. Bakery in the village was lovely and there is a Lidl a short car ride away or we also used the local grocery shop.

Property and compound were fine but not much to see locally.

Good location but a car is essential. Close to beaches, Sintra, Lisbon and the dreaded shopping complex.

Lovely apartment, very clean. A real home from home located in the quaint village of Manique.

A lovely part of Portugal to stay with plenty places to visit. Cascais, Estoril and the gorgeous village of Odidos to name a few. We enjoyed a train journey from Estoril to Lisbon along the coast which only took 40 mins. Would highly recommend both the apartment and the area.

Nice apartment

We had a good stay for 4 weeks, unfortunately the weather wasn`t very good the last 3 weeks. A lot of rain which is unusual for the region. The area is quiet and the flat is very big. Perfect for 2 couples. Gerard and his contactpersons were answering immediately if we had any questions. Cascais, Obidos and Sintra and of course Lisbon are absolutely worth a visit.

Excellent Apartment

I would highly recommend this apartment for anyone wanting to visit the area - it is extremely spacious, immaculately clean and very well equipped - we hire a lot of holiday apartments and it was great to have everything in working order for once. The underground parking is so convenient and easy too and the area is peaceful. It is just a few minutes drive to Cascais where you can find everything you need, with the added bonus of a bakery, small provisions shop and a couple of bars and restaurants only a few minutes walk away in the village. Thank you very much for a great stay.

Gerard's apartment is modern, quiet, comfortable, well appointed with an excellent view.

I highly recommend this property. It is beautifully decorated - just like in the pictures - and has all the bells and whistles of an upscale condo. We had a lovely stay. Gerard and his caretakers made our stay very easy and comfortable. The apartment is very central to Cascais, Sintra and the beaches - about 10 minutes drive - and we really enjoyed exploring the castles and museums as well as Guincho and other beaches. The apartment is 5 min drive from Cascais Shopping' supermarket which has everything, but we also enjoyed walking to the coffee shop, bakery, grocer and restaurant in the sleepy village of Manique. Loved the air conditioning and the pool at the end of a hot day. Thank you for letting us use your home. Until next time.

Lovely apartment, 5 stars!

We loved our stay! This is a wonderful, lovely, very well mantained apartment, in the great and safe enviroment of Villaggio Manique. The apartment is very light, perfectly clean. It is very spacious and decorated with good taste. It is very well equipped .with everything that we needed and more, like a fine Delta Q coffee machine. The apartment is in the best location inside the Villaggio Manique Complex, close to the swimming pool and tennis courts. We enjoyed so much the beautiful sunset view from the balcony in the living room. In a 5 minutes walk you are in the middle of the cute and small Manique villa with a bakery, cafe, bank, pharmacy and small tipical restaurants. In a few minutes by car we could reach the beaches, Cascaishopping, the historical Sintra... Our kids felt at home and we really enjoyed very much our stay. The owner is very friendly and dedicated to a perfect guests´ stay. The manager is very nice and make a great work taking care of everything we needed. We definitely recommend this apartment, it is 5 stars!

Very good apartment but poor quality pool facility.

The apartment is very spacious, modern and well maintained. It was as described and included all relevant equipment. The only disappointing feature was the swimming pool. Both the pool and surrounding areas are poorly maintained. For example, lots of tiles missing from pool and no sun loungers. This needs improving as it detracts from the experience of staying here.

Amazing Flat and Lovely Village

Stayed here for 3 days in May for a long weekend. The flat was lovely and as it looks in the photos. The flat itself is in a quiet area... with a few minutes walk to the Manique village which is really cute. We hired a car and it was easy to drive to Cascais and Sintra which are amazing towns.... really picturesque. I was met by the management company in the morning and they handed over the keys, so no problems there. I was advised to download the Home & Away app on my phone, which I didnt get a chance to do, but I was told it had lots of information about the area. I only gave it 4 stars as there was a pool, but we couldnt use it as they were doing some maintenance on it. Other than this I would really recommend it!

Perfect Place in Portugal!

From the outset I found this property and the people attached to it to be exactly what I was looking for: Honest, Caring, Professional. I'd spoken to Gerard (the owner) prior to booking and he was most helpful. I'd advised that I was going to hire a car and he then went out of his way to provide simple straightforward directions from Lisbon to the apartment. The apartment looks good in the photos, its even better in person. We were met on arrival by the management team who provided us with even more information about the local area (on top of the stuff Gerard had already sent me!) The apartment is clean and luxurious, two large double bedrooms, fully fitted kitchen with washing machine and dishwasher -ideal for a family and beach purposes. Large plasma screen TV and DVD to boot helped pass the time whilst the missus was getting ready. The complex itself has secure parking, a swimming pool, tennis courts and a club house run by a family that live on the complex and speak perfect English. If you give them a day's notice they will even cook you dinner and a very very resonible price. There is plenty on supermarkets, cafes, restaurants and even a pharmacy within a 5 minute distance so the location is spot on. As we had the car we visited a different beach every day and the furthest beach was only 25 minutes away, -the beaches 5-7 minutes away are perfectly adequate but we like to explore. Estoril casino is also only 5 minutes away and beautiful town of Sintra is also very close. All in all, this is by far the best holiday let we've ever stayed at, we're booked again for this summer and can see ourselves coming back here for many years to come. Highly recommended, you wont be disappointed.

Perfect Tranquil Getaway

I stayed at this apartment with my partner and we felt at home instantly. The owner was accommodating and made us feel like it was a home away from home. The place was clean, smartly furnished, had wifi, tv with american channels so you can catch up on your favourite soaps and the kitchen had all the basics you needed so all we needed was a trip to the supermarket. It was pretty much close distance to everything. We rented a car which allowed us to visit the castles, the "monument", do a lot of sight seeing, hang out at the beach and have a nice time out for dinners at short trips. If you're going out at night, the owner recommended a local taxi driver who spoke english and had a decent fare rate to the hot spots. We called him at the end of the night even after we had a few drinks and he got us safely home. This holiday apartment comes highly recommended. Safe, nice, tranquil but not too far away from the right places, clean, cool and had all essentials. I would definitely come back here again.

Ideal family holiday bolthole

We (me, husband, 2 teenage girls) have just come back from a lovely week in this apartment. It is in a quiet location yet less than half an hour from Lisbon airport by car. We walked to the village for breakfast most days - an interesting 5 minute stroll past the local marble-polishing enterprise - where there is also a bank, chemist, tiny minimart, and butcher. Not that we cooked for ourselves - plenty of restaurants a 10 minute drive away on the beaches where we spent most of our time, particularly Cascais. There was a lot going on there - pedaloes, canoes, as well as lots of beach vendors selling the usual holiday stuff, all of which the girls loved; husband preferred the Americas Cup racing taking place in the bay. He and I watched the action while having lunch on the sunny terraces of either the Albatroz Hotel or the Capricciosa restaurant, both of which are highly recommended - food good and friendly, helpful staff. As well as beaches, the beautiful town of Sintra is accessible by rail from Estoril (10 minute drive), as is Lisbon - a pretty coastal journey. For the more active, surfing is available on windswept but lovely Guincho beach, and shoppers have plenty to look at in Cascais (again - ideal for teenagers). The property itself was clean and well-kept and we swam in the serious-looking pool every day. The meet and greet service worked well, and the owner was most helpful and accommodating.

Simply the most peaceful place

Lovely spot and a lovely apartment. Recommended. Near enough to Lisbon for a night out and near enough to beach (and golf) to recover the next day.

Modern Apartment

We stayed in the apartment from 6th - 11th of April 2010, the apartment was very modern and stylish with a great finish to it. It is very open and perfect for a relaxing holiday. The facilities inside the complex consisted of swimming pool and tennis court. The apartment also came with tennis rackets, tennis balls and blown up beds for the pool which was handy. The management company agent lives in the complex and came and showed us round the property within five minutes of us arriving at the gate. Location: Town's of Estroil, Sintra and Cascais are all within 10-Min's drive from apartment with a host of beaches to choose from. Also main train station is located in Cascais and well worth making use of this and having day out in Lisbon. Only other advice is that car rental would be advisable to make most of Estroil and its surrounding areas.

Stylish apartment

We stayed in the apartment from 14th - 24th of July 2009, the apartment itself is virtually faultless with a high standard of finish and is very clean. The facilities inside the complex are again of a high standard and as a family we were often the only ones at the pool or tennis areas. The pool is great and very clean only downside would be that there are no sun loungers or chairs around the pool area which meant either you had sun bathe one the deck or grass areas, this could be greatly improved if there had been either access to loungers or possibly supplying a few fold down loungers which could be stored in the apartment itself. We did not have access to the underground car parking during our stay which would have made transferring luggage to and from the car easier but this is only an observation as there is plentiful car parking within the complex. The area around the location of the complex looks to be going through many major upgrades and has good access to local shops,hypermarkets and other small villages around the area. In short we had a great time in an apartment that was extremely good value. The owner at all times was extremely helpful and kept in constant contact to ensure that we were all happy, would recommend a visit!
