About this property

VILLA AREIA-GUINCHO, just 900 meters from Guincho beach, Large Pool

VILLA AREIA-GUINCHO is cozy and very spacious, occupying 170 m2 of the ground floor of a large beautiful villa, where the owners (husband and wife) reside on the floor above. It is within a 12,000 m2 property, has its own private garden, with a countryside horizon of local vegetation and pine trees. Very quiet location with stunning views of the Serra de Sintra (mountains), located near the beaches of Guincho, 15 min walk (900 meters) or 1 min drive, ideal for a combined beach and country holiday.

From the large swimming pool, you have a beautiful wide view of the Sintra Mountains. You have a separate garden but can access the large garden without leaving the property.

The living room, dining room and open kitchen, occupy a single large space (85m2) with access to the garden and pool. It has 2 full bathrooms and 3 large bedrooms with 2 windows each, for 6 persons, two with 22 m2 and a suite of 20 m2.

A 15 min walk (900 meters) will take you to the Guincho beach, Cresmina Beaches. Located in a sparsely populated area and near the Natural Park of Sintra - Cascais, keeps most of its natural and wild nature. You can wander through the wild dunes and along the coast to reach the beaches. Ideal for strolling by the sea, by the countryside or through the Sintra Mountains, and perhaps reach the Peninha Convent.

Guincho beach is ideal for surfing, wind and kite surfing and bodyboarding. Nearby there are health clubs, several tennis courts and golf courses, being the closest one slightly over 1 km from VILLA AREIA-GUINCHO. There are 4 horseback riding clubs within a 1 km distance.

Guincho and the town of Areia, have excellent restaurants offering the best choice of fish and seafood dishes and of regional and international dishes, just a 15-20 min. walk from VILLA AREIA-GUINCHO. There is a bus stop 600 m from the house that goes to the center of Cascais, 6 km away. However, it may be more convenient to drive.

In the late nineteenth and early twentieth century, Cascais, a fishing village, was the summer residence of the Portuguese monarchy, and during World War II constituted shelter to the European Nobility. Along the Costa do Estoril-Cascais you will find its known beaches.

Just a short drive away, encircling the sea and enjoying the mountains, you will find small towns worth a visit and the most western point of Europe, Cabo da Roca, before reaching the charming historic town of Sintra. Here you can visit its beautiful palaces and gardens, where the Portuguese monarchy, also spent their summer holidays.

Great location, dark house
Clean large accommodation, but pretty dark inside. Walking distance from beach, short drive to cascais. 1king size bed with good mattress, 1bed 140x200cm (so smaller than queen size) with uncomfortable mattress and 2 single beds. (Owner promised to have a look at the 140x200cm bed, and maybe change it to a newer bigger one)

Better than photos!
We were a family of four who just got back from Felipe's fabulous home. We loved every minute of it. Felipe & his wife, Marisa, were so friendly, but only there if we needed them. We enjoyed the totally private pool (4 pools, actually, that are all joined together--one deep and three shallow/wading) in their backyard with views of the nearby hilltowns and wonderful sheep next door! We were a quick walk to some of the best beaches in Guincho and just a short drive to the center of Cascais. Everything was great!

Wonderful place!
We spent an amazing week in Felipe and Mariza's apartment. The place is absolutely beautiful, with a large private area surrounded by a peaceful garden. Not to mention the swimming pool which was just a perfect place to rest for a few days ... It is also the ideal starting point for exploring the surroundings, whether it is the nearby beach, the towns of Sintra or Cascais. Felipe and Mariza have been super helpful, always ready to respond to all of our questions. I hope we'll be able to visit again soon :)

Very nice and spacious apartment
The apartment was huge, bigger than we expected and the rooms being all at different ends you get lots of privacy. Everything was very clean, and decorated with exquisite taste, the beautiful paintings and sculptures are done by the owner. We felt very welcome, Felipe and Marisa are charming hosts, they gave us lots of good advice and tips to great local bars and restaurants. Although they live right above (but have their own separate entrance), they were very discreet and we hardly saw them during the whole stay. The pool is especially beautiful, but beware that the Guincho area can be windy sometimes and in those days it is also windy at the pool. We were very unlucky with the weather as it was an atypical month of July for Portugal, colder than usual, but when we did get to use the pool it was so lovely with its brethtaking views all the way to the Sintra hills. There is plenty to do in the area and lots to see (Guincho beach is amazing), the nearby towns of Cascais and Estoril are lovely with their boardwalk along the sea, and Sintra, only 15 minutes away by car, is a dream, one of the most beautiful places you will ever see. There is an adorable and very beautiful dog called Ben who might pay you an occasional visit, he is so gentle and polite, doesn't disturb at all (in fact we were sad that his visits were so short) We miss ben already...

Great holiday!!
We had a great time at Filipe’s house last week. Really spacious apartment on the ground floor under the main house. Pool was just fabulous and views amazing. Guincho beach approx 12min walk away and some nice restaurants there. We got an Uber to Cascais regularly for approx €7. We didn’t have a car and enjoyed walking around but if going again I would rent a car next time. Ben their dog is a big friendly giant!! He’s so playful and we loved spending time with him. We had a great time. Thanks Filipe!!

Fantastic Guincho location!
My family had a lovely stay at Felipe's Guincho property! The horizon pool was a hit with the kids. The living quarters downstairs are spacious and well appointed with all you need for self catering. Felipe was a great host...easy to access and readily available to suggest places to visit and restaurants to try.

Unser Urlaub in Guincho
Wir wurden sehr herzlich von Filipe und seiner Frau begrüßt. Es ist ein sehr schönes Anwesen mit viel Platz zum Entspannen. Leider konnten wir den Garten und den Pool aufgrund des Wetters nicht so nutzen, wie wir es uns gewünscht hatten. Vielleicht ein anderes Mal.

Familienurlaub in Casceis
We had a great stay at the house with Filipe and his wife being very friendly and helpful hosts. Garden and pool have been perfect for relaxing and the beach is also very close so can enjoy the beautiful landscape. Using the car will be necessary for daily shopping or reaching Restaurants but that's fine and easy to do. Thanks for having us and giving us a great holiday.

traumfhaftes Objekt mit fantastischem Garten und Poolbereich, der Gastgeber mit seiner Familie war sehr hilfsbereit und konnte sehr gute Tipps für die Erkundung der nähreren Umgebung geben. Alles in allem eine sehr gelungene Urlaubswoche. Sollten wir wieder in der Nähe sein, werden wir diese Unterkunft sicherlich wieder buchen.

Sehr schöner Aufenthalt
Die Unterkunft ist ein wunderschöner Platz um den Urlaub zu genießen und zu entspannen. Filipe und seine Frau waren sehr nett und haben uns herzlich willkommen geheißen. Etwas schlecht ist die Beleuchtung in der Küche und im überdachten Eingangsbereich. Hier wären mehr Licht sehr gut. Der Weg in den Garten aus dem Wohnzimmer heraus ist leider nur mit einer großen Stufe zu bewältigen. Hier wäre eine zusätzliche Treppenstufe angenehem. Ansonsten ist das Haus aber ein Traum, mit viel Platz und der riesige Garten mit dem Pool fantastisch. Ein Aufenthalt ist sehr zu empfehlen ! Vielen Dank an Filipe und Mariza !

Vacances en famille
Belle appartement, super jardin avec piscine. Propre. Le point négatif est peut-être le peu de lumière dans l'appartement (foncé) et la cuisine moyennement agencée. Mais pour des vacances en famille (avec des enfants en bas âge), amplement suffisant.

Traumhafte Ferienwohnung im Paradies
Ich kann diese Ferienwohnung zu 100% empfehlen! Die Wohnung an sich ist schon groß, aber das ganze zugehörige Areal ist riesig und absolut wunderschön, wie im Paradies. Der Vermieter und seine Frau wohnen in der Wohnung eine Etage höher und sind sehr nett, sympathisch und hilfsbereit. Der Kontakt im Vorfeld und auch während des Aufenthalts war ausgezeichnet. Die Lage der Wohnung ist ebenfalls gut, Lissabon ist sowohl mit dem Auto als auch mit der Bahn relativ schnell erreichbar.

Herrliche Ferienwohnung in top Lage
Sehr schöne Ferienwohnung, top gelegen mit nur ca. 20 Minuten Fußweg zum Strand. Schöne Gartenanlage mit eigenem Pool. Die Gastgeber waren extrem nett und gaben viele Infos über Einkaufen, Ausflüge und Restaurants. Wenn man überhaupt etwas bemängeln möchte dann evtl. die etwas spärliche Ausststtung der Küche und das fehlende deutsche Fernsehen - aber wer muss schon im Urlaub in Portugal deutsches Fernsehen schauen ;-).

Quelle déception !
Nous avons été très déçu par cet appartement où l’annonce indiquait « Villa de luxe », il n’a absolument rien de luxueux ! C’était anciennement le garage de la maison qui à été aménagé, le séjour est très sombre, lumière obligatoire bien que nous soyons au mois d’août et une forte odeur de renfermé jusqu’à la fin des 15 jours que nous y avons passé et bien que les fenêtres étaient constamment ouvertes. Les 2 espaces extérieurs dont nous avons la jouissance ne sont pas du tout agréables car enclavés entre 3 murs. L’appartement est très décoré et aménagé de meubles divers et variés mais manque de choses utiles comme un sèche cheveux, fer et table à repasser, aspirateur ou balet, ustensiles pour le repas (seulement 3 bols, 3 verres à vin, bien que location pour 6 personnes). La propriété manque d’entretien (vielles chaises et tables abandonnées), idem pour l’appartement, beaucoup de choses en mauvais état : fermeture de la poubelle scotchée, fils de l’étendoir cassés, micro- onde qui fonctionne mal, le mitigeur de l’évier est mal fixé, … On nous a demandé de nous stationner dans l’allée mais aucune lumière sur celle-ci pour accéder à l’appartement la nuit (heureusement que nous avons des lampes sur nos téléphones). Une chose qui m’a particulièrement dérangée est qu’il y a des caméras partout dont une braquée sur la fenêtre de la chambre parentale. La cuisine a été fabriquée de planches et meubles de récupération, elle n’est pas du tout agréable. Nous avons mangé presque tous les jours au restaurant. Nous aurions été mieux dans un hôtel ! Les points positifs : les propriétaires nous ont bien accueilli, la localisation est très bien, la piscine est jolie (mais non sécurisée, contrairement à ce qui est indiqué sur le site) et c’est calme la nuit malgré les moutons sur le terrain voisin et les poules de l’autre côté. Pour conclure, je ne comprends pas le nombre de personnes ayant mis 5 étoiles, cette location est trop cher par rapport aux prestations proposées, et l’annonce devrait être modifiée, par ailleurs il n’y a aucune vue sur la mer partielle, sauf peut-être de l’étage où nous n’avons pas d’accès puisque c’est les propriétaires qui y vivent. Ces avis positifs sont peut-être liés à la pression que nous à mis le propriétaire le jour de notre départ car bien qu’ayant compris que nous n’y étions pas bien il n’a eu aucun regret de cette déception et pire encore il nous a demandé avec insistance de ne pas mettre d’avis négatif !

Beautiful house and great location
We are a family of 6 and we spent 10 days in Filipe and Mariza's beautiful house. Everything was very clean and tidy. The pool was great for the kids and the garden even more spacious than we thought. You can quickly get to very different beaches - windy, for water sports and relaxing in Cascais. The stay was great all around, we can highly recommend the location.

Beautiful location
Lovely location about 1km to most beautiful beach but it’s a bit remote. We relied on taxis and on occasions had to wait a bit but at the end we did not mind as we made a little cafe by the dune our waiting point and views were just amazing. Filippe was very helpful and although stayed in the upper parts of the house during the visit we hardly ever seen him. The property is quite dark but sitting room is massive and there is plenty of space for everyone not to be on the top of each other. Rooms are big, beds adequate, electric blinds keeping our sleep undisturbed for longer. We thought dining outdoors was a bit of a challenge as there is no veranda you can sit and enjoy the last of the sun. We ended up moving a table by the pool. The BBQ equipment needs updating and there was not enough glassware crockery for our needs. Finally we spent many frustrating minutes trying to open and close the gates and the lock is jamming. That said we wish we could stay another week as we did have a great time.

Great property
Great property for a family holiday. Lovely location, but you definitely need a car. My only complaint is that the equipment in the property was very limited, for example need more cutlery and no kettle when we arrived, this was rectified but only with a travel kettle. We managed as a family of 4 but might have struggle if we were a family of 6

Excellent home and location
Filipe's home was an excellent base for our family holiday, it had been a rescheduled 2020 holiday and Filipe was so accommodating and let us rebook and we finally made it on the 3rd attempt. Walking distance to the beach with fantastic sunset and within a beautiful hilly area views are fantastic. The house and garden are lovely and the pool would be great in warm weather though we got a dip in the pool despite the weather not being overly hot. Location is great for visits to Sintra and Cascais, would love to return one day.
