Location
The villa is situated 14 km from Sintra, and 13 km from the cosmopolitan Cascais, with its marina, entertainment, shopping, beaches, restaurants, coffee shops, delightful esplanades by the sea, not to mention the buzz of a very active nightlife. Estoril, that has the biggest casino in Europe, is only 15 km away. Lisbon, the capital with its cosmopolitan atmosphere, monuments, restaurants and Fado, is only 40 min. away. Guincho, with its surrounding natural park is highly recommended for beach & sport holidays. But along the coast the choice of other beaches is endless. Guincho is famous for water sport activities, white sandy family beaches, all within a 20 min drive. The bus stop is just 150 m away from the villa (Sintra and Cascais) and the railway station is 14 km away.
For golfers, there are 6 golf courses, 20 minutes away:
1) Quinta da Marinha
Set amongst beautiful pine trees and stretching down to Guincho beach, it has some of the most majestic sceneries in Portugal. Its hole number 13, a Par 4 descending to the sea, is a picture postcard of Portuguese golf.
2) Oitavos
It's the 1st Golf Course in Europe and the 2nd in the World to become a Certified Signature Sanctuary - Gold.
3) Penha Longa
Enjoys championship characteristics, an excellent level of maintenance and beautiful panoramic views over the Sintra mountain range.
4) Estoril
One of the oldest and best-known golf courses in Portugal. Many champions - including Max Faulkner and Seve Ballesteros - have walked the fairways of this course.
5) Quinta da Beloura
Fine views over the Sintra mountain range and a course surrounded by trees provide a very pleasurable game of golf.
6) Belas
Designed by Rocky Roquemore. Its eighteen holes extend over 6,128 metres for a Par 72.
Tuvimos muchísima suerte con el tiempo, de manera que pudimos hacer actividades al aire libre. No obstante, estaría genial si hubiera una mesa de ping-pong o un futbolín para situaciones en las que haga mal tiempo, sobre todo para grupos que vayan con niños, como es mi caso.
Me ha encantado la página de Villanovo, sencilla de utilizar, y al menos en cuanto a la casa en la que he estado, reflejaba fielmente la realidad de lo que nos encontramos. Amaya ha sido muy amable en todo momento resolviendo todas mis dudas.
