VILLA AREIA-GUINCHO, just 900 meters from Guincho beach, Large Pool
About this condo rental
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.

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.

Beautifully located house! The garden is very pretty and the walk towards the beach is also nice. Also close to Cascais en Sintra :)

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)

A great spot for exploring the local area and the pool was still warm enough for a swim!

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.

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!

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.

Serviettes et draps tachés, brosse des toilettes sale.
Cependant propriétaires très sympathiques et location très calme, tranquille et bien située.

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

Very nice apartment, cozy and spacious. Super bed- and bathrooms. It has everything you need. Beautiful garden and swimming pool.
The area is amazing, Cascais, Sintra, Guincho beach, Cabo da Roca, Ericeira and ofcourse Lissabon. So, rent a car and explore this part of Portugal.

Sehr netter Kontakt, dazu ein riesiger Garten mit schönem Pool. Wunderschöner Sandstrand kann fussläufig erreicht werden. Tagestrips nach Sintra und Lissabon gut mit dem Mietwagen und wahrscheinlich auch mit dem Bus möglich.

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.

Basement feeling
Vi glædede os til at slappe af i et lejet hus, der ud fra beskrivelsen ikke fremgik, at udlejer også selv boede i huset.
Lejligheden, som det viste sig at være, lå i husets kælder, der var mørk og med dårligt indeklima. Vi forsøgte at lufte ud, uden effekt. Desuden umuligt at have åbne vinduer pga mange myg i det fugtige miljø.
For at få lys og udsigt skulle vi af trapper ovenpå, og på udendørs arealerne sidde der hvor udlejer også selv var /havde sit udsyn.
Ikke særligt afslappende.
Alt i alt ikke særligt afslappende - eller måske havde vi bare forventet andet -især bare at kunne være os selv.
Vi vil ikke anbefale denne bolig.
Vi havde trods alt en skøn ferie, fordi vi opholdt os væk fra huset og den mørke kælder mest muligt. Portugal er fantastisk og vi mødte ellers kun venlighed og imødekommende mennesker.

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 :)

Amazing House in a Beautiful Garden
We enjoyed a pleasant week in this lovely house. The interior is very stylish and provides a lot of space.
It is perfect to spend time with friends. You can chill together in the living room or at the pool. Or if you are bored by the others the house provides sufficient space to spend some time on your own.
Filipe and his wife gave us an warm welcome and many information on restaurants and sights in the region.

Magnifique
Notre séjour de 2 semaines était très reposant, grâce à la discrétion des propriétaires, et cet endroit situé dans un calme absolu. Et pourtant à proximité de toutes commodités. (Plage, restaurants, Cascais, Lisbonne, Sintra, épicerie, et supermarchés etc)
Un des très grand bonheur de ces vacances était BEN, le chien du propriétaire;-)
Merci à Filipe, Mariza et BEN

We went from UK in July 2020. Although not on travel corridor our airline wouldnt refund our flights and we were all able to self isolate after at home so we decided to go and i am so so glad we did.
The location was beautiful, tucked away and private but close enough to Cascais, Guincho beaches etc
Its a ground floor apartment rather than house (owners live in floors above) but extremely big and private and all 6 of us (4kids and 2 adults) loved the space.
The pool/garden are 100% the best bits and although the pool was cold the kids loved every minute of being in.
The close by beaches are about 10mins walk (feet dragging kids) and are visually breath taking and empty (unlike uk) but they are windy, waves are big and the sand storms can be harsh on the skin. We didnt venture into the sea for this reason but we did notice beaches in cascais were much calmer but busier.
We didnt hire a car through choice as we really wanted to spend time as a family relaxing by the pool but i think if you wanted to sight see and be out and about then a car is a good idea.
Kids loved Ben the dog coming to visit each day and we did have some interesting chasing moments as he seems to like drying clothes but hes a wonderful gentle natured BIG dog.
All in all totally recommend this villa, location and area. We were worried due to covid but social distancing was 100% in portugal compared to UK, beaches deserted and everyone following mask wearing etc.

What a nice accommodation!
Dear Filipe,
We we’re looking fore a place to rest and relax and we found the right place.
What a beautiful house, what a beautiful garden and what a pleasant host!
The accommodation was beautiful and perfect to relax. The pool, heat by solar panels, had a pleasant temperature and was perfect for swimming. The view from the pool was breathtaking.
The Dog Ben is a friendly playful dog we had a lot of fun with him.
The Beach was really close (5 min by car). Hopefully we will see us again. I can recommend this accommodation 100%.
Greetings Harald

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...
