Local Guincho beach | Location
The house is ideally situated in a rural setting, at the foot of the Sintra hills, 4km from beautiful Guincho beach and 8km from cosmopolitan Cascais and Estoril. This is an ideal location for nature lovers, being in the Sintra-Cascais protected National Park where building is very restricted. There is good walking, with an abundance of wild flowers, birds and animals. Yet the motorway is only 5km away, making Lisbon, Cascais and Sintra accessible in under 30 minutes. The magnificent view looks down a green and unspoilt valley with the sea beyong in one direction, and the mystical Sintra mountains in the other. With a panoramic swimming pool, beautiful gardens, close to the beach and the many attractions of Cascais, Lisbon and Sintra, this house offers an ideal setting for a perfect holiday. |
Villa Montana is nestled above the pretty village of Malveira da Serra, with a range of shops and restaurants. The village retains its traditional charm as building is restricted, and has long been sought after due to the beauty of its setting, with the coast stretched out below, and the forest and mountain above.
Sintra, a world heritage site with its castle, palaces and gardens set in lush vegetation and enjoying ravishing views is a lovely 15 minute car drive across the mountain.
Locally, there is a huge choice of the latest films in original language with over twenty screens in four local cinema complexes reachable within 10 minutes, as are two attractive shopping centres. The summer brings international festivals; classical music and ballet in Sintra, jazz in Estoril and fireworks in Cascais | | Closer in the other direction is the coastal resort of Cascais, where you will find superb beaches, restaurants, night-life and shopping, as well as a charming old town with rewarding site-seeing. Lisbon is half an hour away, and with easy access to the motorway system a number of other world class cultural and historic sites make an enjoyable day trip. Lisbon boasts world heritage sites, and a rich cultural, culinary and night life.
The motorway network puts the Knights Templars’ castle and chapels at Tomar and Batalha within an easy day trip, as well as the ancient university town of Coimbra. Beaches Guincho beach, world renowned for its beauty and surfing, is five kilometres away. Many other sandy beaches are close by, each with its individual character. Less than half an hour’s drive North along the coast several beaches are well worth exploring, as are some excellent fish restaurants. | Golf

Villa Montana - Surface area : 250m2 - 2000m2 gardens
This spacious villa is over 2 floors. It is the family villa of a Swiss and Portuguese couple, and retains many personal features. The main entrance is via an entrance hall with a lovely swiss grandfather clock. To the left, the spacious living room is located, with panoramic picture views to the sea and mountains; a large fireplace provides the focal point of colder winter nights. Beyond, the dining room also affords beautiful seaviews. From there, a lovely terrace outside area is the ideal spor for "al fresco" meals with a magnificent sea view as a background. At the back the large fully equipped kitchen is found. Next to the kitchen a twin bedroom and bathroom are located. To the other side of the hall, we find one en-suite double room and an en-suite twin bedroom. The first floor is accessed via an open plan staircase (warning, this may be dangerous for small children). Here we find 2 more twin bedrooms which share a shower room. The lovely swimming pool at the back of the house also has amazing sea views and is naturally sheltered from the north winds.Children will particularly enjoy the gardens, with many secret corners providing hours of fun. There is a garage and street parking is very safe.The villa has just been repainted in June 2010 and the bathrooms have been renovated with good quality fittings. | Please note there are building works during 2011 in the land next to Villa Montana. Disruption will be kept to a minimum. |

Getting there and around
Less than two hours flight from most European cities and seven hours from New York, the house can be reached by car or taxi from Lisbon Airport in 30-40 minutes. Located in the protected national park of Cascais-Sintra, the property is only 4km from the motorway and so half an hour from Lisbon and its cultural attractions and night life. Taxis are available and cheap, and there is an efficient bus system from the village to Cascais and Sintra; but to get the best out of your holiday we advise car hire, as there is so much to see which is not accessible by public transport. |
