The detail

A stunning seaview villa for up to 14 guests, Villa Dilma is located around 11km from Cascais, within the magnificent Sintra-Cascais Natural Park. Just a short drive from Guincho beach and the unmissable city of Sintra, this modern villa enjoys quiet surroundings and has its own private, heated swimming pool.

The expansive outdoor area enjoys a magnificent Atlantic backdrop, with comfortable sun loungers positioned around the 12m x 5m pool. Several attractive seating areas and a barbecue and dining area can also be found here, with trees surrounding the gardens adding an extra element of privacy.

Inside, an open-plan living and dining area is situated on the ground floor. With glass doors giving a view of the pool and terrace, this area offers lots of seating as well as television and a dining space. It connects to the fully fitted kitchen where you have all the equipment you could need, as well as an island and breakfast bar.

A twin bedroom with en suite bathroom is also on the ground floor, while the master suite is upstairs – it has a bath tub and shower, and a terrace with sea views. Another twin suite and a double suite are located on the lower ground floor, along with extra beds for two guests. A private suite is located in the house beside the pool, too. If you require beds for a 13th and 14th guest, these can be provided and placed in other bedrooms.

Villa Dilma’s location puts some of the most beautiful spots on the Lisbon Coast within reach. Cascais itself is a chilled-out coastal town well worth a look, while 20 minutes’ drive north, Sintra will impress with its elaborate palaces and forested Pena Park. At just 35 minutes west of the capital, Cascais is a great base for trips to Lisbon’s many attractions, including many fine museums and the impressive Castelo de São Jorge.
