Coastline view from Arrabida cliffs | Location
The property is located near the Natural Park of Arrábida, a paradise of Mediterranean vegetation near the Atlantic Ocean. With pleasant weather all year round, this is a well known region for nature lovers and peaceful holidays. The unique microclimate, which incites the coexistence of diverse and rare species of flora and fauna, allows one to fully enjoy nature. History and the passing of time have left a remarkable trail of Medieval castles, Renaissance palaces, splendid manors, churches, chapels, convents and sanctuaries that allow a meeting with the past. The castles of Sesimbra, Palmela and Setúbal were, in the Middle Ages, part of the defensive line for the Setúbal peninsula; these monumental fortresses are worthy of a visit. Isolated in the middle of Cape Espichel, rises the awe-inspiring pilgrimage sanctuary of Nossa Senhora do Cabo built in the 17th century and classified as a national heritage site. |
Beaches "Praia da Foz", 2 km away, is a fine sand beach; it is a beautiful unspoilt beach surrounded by cliffs, prolonged by a vast rocky platform used by fishermen. Praia da Foz is a pleasant 40 minute walk or 5 minutes by car. Further along, you can find the beach “Praia das Bicas”, popular for surfing. To the north you'll discover the largest and main beach, “Praia do Meco”, with three miles of white sand and beautiful cliffs. This is the most uninhibited and naturist beach in Portugal. Praia do Meco is so long that if you walk long enough you will always find an uncrowded spot. At the base of the Arrábida mountains you can find various beaches with crystal water and a backdrop of green hills. Most of these are small coves with fine white sand, tranquil waters and a unique microclimate. | | Foz beach is 2km away You can walk through the woods and reach the sandy beach “Praia da Foz”, 2km away from the house, in 40 minutes; or you can drive and be there in 5 minutes! A few km further along this long stretch of coast, is the fashionable sandy beach, Praia do Meco. Relax in a bar on wooden decking and enjoy the sunset whilst looking at the fishermen in their traditional coloured boats on beaches further afield or simply enjoy the magnificent spectacle of everchanging scenery. | Watersports Surfing is popular at nearby “Praia das Bicas”. For diving, Portinho de Arrabida beach has some of the most interesting diving in Portugal with its grottos and abundant marine life. Sailing, windsurfing, canoeing and rowing can all be enjoyed in the safe bay. | Gastronomy and wine tasting In a country that has such an extensive coastline, it is not surprising that the sea should be one of the main sources of its cuisine. In the many restaurants of Meco, Sesimbra or Setubal, you can find all types of fresh and delicious grilled fish and also the best shellfish, such as clams, mussels or shrimps. Portugal's climate and soil, its excellent varieties of traditional grapes and the wisdom and accumulated experience of its viniculturists have all helped to make Portuguese wines amongst the most appreciated in the world. The region of Setúbal, which has given its name to a sweet fortified wine, made from the muscadet grape, also produces robust reds and light white wines. Arrabida National Park The mountains are ideal for walks, and organized excursions can be arranged with the local nature tour companies. In the National Park, mountain biking, fauna tours, and bird watching are organised. Orienteering, cycling tours, riding and aerial sports are available and provide new experiences for beginners and experienced alike. Golf Information Portugal is a paradise where the golfer can play almost every day of the year. Quinta do Peru Golf is a short drive away and other courses are nearby. Check Prices

Villa Cipreste Mar - 2 km to Foz beach - close to Sesimbra Surface area : 250 m2 to 550m2 depending on confirguration
Villa Cipreste is located at about 10 km from the fishermen's town of Sesimbra and is an excellent choice for nature lovers, set in the countryside by the sea. The very large villa was recently acquired by the owners of Casa do Lago, a very popular house. It was the weekend residence of the Swiss ambassador, and was built to the highest standards. The house was completely renovated in spring 2011, and a brand new swimming pool was constructed in the spacious gardens. The villa is now owned by an internationally renowned Portuguese artist; it was cleverly renovated with flair by his architect friend; the transformation is amazing and is a true source of inspiration for those who want to a stylish "home away from home". The house is decorated with many "art-deco" rare pieces, as well as fine art, and many pieces are for sale. Villa Cipreste is cleverly divided into two separate units, Villa Cipreste Mar and Villa Cipreste Alto. As there is also an area which can be accessed by either house (the annex); this means accommodation is extremely flexible, ranging from 2 to 7 bedrooms, without ever losing privacy or sharing indoor space! The gardens and swimming pool are shared between the two houses. Villa Cipreste Mar is on the ground floor, and its private entrance is on the sea side. The spacious living room with seating for 12 and a sofa-bed for two, makes the most of the magical light of the area and has direct access to the outside patio and swimming pool. The dining area, living room and kitchen just flow into each other. The brand new open plan kitchen is completely equipped and has a clean and modern feel. The magical light of this area pours into the room from the large windows and glass doors. To the left of the living room at the beginning of the corridor we have access to the guest toilet room. Further along the corridor we find 3 bedrooms and 2 more bathrooms: one large en-suite double bedroom with art déco pieces and a modern full bathroom; two twin bedrooms which can become double bedrooms; a shower room with bidet. All bedrooms have plenty of storage space, green and sea views in the distance and desk with seating area. In the annex (only for parties of more than 6 people or by arrangement) we have two triple bedrooms each with a bunk bed and one single bed for up to 3 people each and two shower rooms. These quarters are accessed by an internal door and are ideal area for older children and teenagers; please note the wall of these bedrooms do not go up to the ceiling. The house has much natural light surrounding surrounding it. Silence is only interrupted by nature, a bird or a storm. Many walks can be taken from the villa; the most spectacular being along the cliffs, going for a swim as a refreshing break from time to time. Witness the most magical sunsets with many different shades of red and pink clutching a refreshing drink... The large swimming pool is shared between the two houses, and is surrounded by a lovely lawn, an ideal place to spend many lazy afternoons. The swimming pool and lawn are framed by pine trees providing a welcome shade, and has a spectacular view of the coast and sea. Villa Cipreste Mar is perfect for a stylish holiday "away from it all"! The villa is about 500m from Casa do Lago, and so parties of up to 40 people can be accommodated close in great style! Getting there and around
Two hours flight from most European cities and 7 hours from New York, the Villa is reached by car from Lisbon Airport in 1 hour. Faro airport is 2.5 hours. Apart from Lisbon, 40km away, Azeitão, Arrabida, Alcacer do Sal, Setubal, Palmela and Sesimbra are easily reached, making the self-catering villa an ideal base for unforgettable daily excursions. A car is essential for this holiday as there is no public transport. |
