Charm & Design in a House with a Pool and Magnificent View of the Sea and Mountains

Watch the “blackbirds” in the morning, the sunset, enjoy the calm and tranquility. Enjoy the unique sea and mountain view from the private lounge, the infinity pool, the “Serra de Sintra” - the magical mountain, its enchanted forests, convents and palaces. Possibility to include a work desk. There is also the possibility of accepting wedding celebrations, if it is for small groups, for an additional fee. For more information, contact the host directly. A mountain Villa built over 100 years ago, set on an imposing rock with a unique setting and a breathtaking view over the sea, the city, Cascais and the mountain where it is located. The house has been recently remodeled and expanded with a modern and design construction enjoying the view and the surroundings. You can see from the top of the Sintra Mountains, to Guincho to Cabo Espichel. A stone's throw from the hiking trails of the Sintra Mountains and its monuments, and next to good restaurants and cafés with a good atmosphere, the small village has a supermarket and pharmacy for your peace of mind. Guests have at their disposal a house with 2 bedrooms, living room and kitchen, fully private and access to a large garden with an infinity pool where they can enjoy the wonderful view. I live on the property and am available to share stories and information about the area. I love cycling and I know the Serra like the back of my hand. I can share the secrets of the mountains and advise on the best restaurants in the region. Malveira da Serra, a picturesque village near Cascais and Lisbon (20 min), with hiking trails in the Sintra Mountains and its monuments. Guincho Beach and its wild dunes with their unique beauty are a paradise for Surf/Kite-surf/Windsurf. I advise using your own car.
