Quinta da Villa

Beautiful garden with plenty of space and many great facilities

Nothing really it was brilliant overall

Fantastic location! Feels secluded and the garden is massive, but the market and town centre are only a short walk away. The host is very friendly and helpful. Hope to come back soon!

lots of outdoor space different areas to chill! A 10 minute effortless walk takes you right into the action on the seafront lots of restaurants and bars.

Marco, the owner was there to welcome us. The space was big enough for my family (I had two teenagers with me). The location was good for getting to the centre of Cascais, the beach and the train station with a train line that goes through Carcavelos (where there is a bigger beach), Belem and straight into the heart of Lisbon. There was also a small supermarket within walking distance with all the essentials and a larger one (best got to in a car). The pool and garden area had lots of seating, although this is shared with one other family, we rarely saw them. We didn't cook in the villa, but the facilities were there to do so. The scenery around the villa was beautiful. I also like, that the owner has taken on our suggestion of adding some more storage in the bathroom and living area. As three females with lots of make up, toiletries, hair products and clothes, there wasn't enough storage for us to put our things away, especially in the bathroom. It's great, that Marco has taken this on board. When in Lisbon last year, we stayed in a lovely hotel, with breakfast, pool etc but my teens said they definitely preferred staying in the villa because it was quieter and they had more privacy and freedom to do things at their own pace, so a big bonus!

The pool was smaller than expected, but fine for cooling off after laying in the sun, and probably more manageable for those with young children. As mine were teens, we tended to have more beach days so they could swim in the sea. The walk to/from the villa into the centre of Cascais is only short (10-12 mins), but if coming back at night, there is part of it that has no lighting and so is very dark. We only did that once. Although it is probably quite safe, I preferred that we took an Uber back at night €5-6.
