This villa sits just 450 metres from the soft sands of Praia Grande – beach-lovers, this one’s for you. When you’re not at the beach, you’ll appreciate the wonderful sea views from beside your private pool. There’s an alfresco dining area, too – perfect for sunset cocktails and dinner. Inside, the villa is warm and welcoming, though some of the bathrooms are a little dated. Little ones will love sharing the kids’ room – with its bunk beds and trundles, it feels like being at camp.

Fenced Property

This lovely Portuguese villa provides an idyllic spot to spend a holiday with your loved ones. The home boasts some great amenities, including a garden, complete with orchard and little stream, firewood oven and a private pool. But that's not all. Game-fanatics can challenge themselves with a board-game or game of snooker in the vintage-decorated games room, while others can catch up on their favourite Netflix show. The villa is located near various iconic beaches such as Praia Grande, as well as the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Sintra. There's something here for everyone.

The Grand Retreat

Laptop Friendly Workspace

Central Heating

Parking Available

Nestled in the peaceful mountainside of Colares, this rustic villa has had a modern renovation for a wonderful family getaway. Close to nearby shops and restaurants while set in miles of trees for total relaxation, this stylish home is the perfect base to explore the west coast of Portugal. You’ll find the nearest beach 2 kilometres away while we recommend hiring a car to explore the area further – the enchanting town of Sintra is picture-worthy while Cascais is great for a more cosmopolitan feel. Golf lovers will appreciate the number of courses nearby (six to be exact) offering panoramic views over the Sintra mountain range and renowned to be some of the best golf courses in Portugal.

Cocooned in a private garden, this home provides the ideal setting for a restorative coastal getaway. From here it’s less than 4 kilometres to Praia Grande beach, while local wineries, hiking trails and the majestic town of Sintra can also be found within easy reach. And while there is plenty to explore in the surroundings, this home has everything you could need to disconnect and recharge. From the private pool and tennis court to the games and children’s playground, it provides the perfect balance between family fun and total relaxation. It’s worth noting some of the furnishings are a little dated, but you will find plenty of space across the main house and the independent guest house – a great option for those in search of a little extra privacy.

Your host can also arrange sweet extras like catering and massage treatments. Plus, it’s just a short drive to Colares and the nearest beaches.

Enjoy a serene stay on the stunning west coast of Portugal at this wonderful home. Nestled away on large leafy grounds, based within the protected area of the Natural Park of Sintra Cascais, this home is ideal if you’re looking for a peaceful countryside stay, that still provides easy access to the beautiful and vibrant beaches of Praia Grande and Praia da Adraga. You’re also within close reach of the small village of Almoçageme where you’ll find quaint restaurants and idyllic cafes, as well as shops and markets.

The home itself is beautifully styled, with charming decor, opulent soft furnishings and unique light fittings that make it feel really special. The grand dining area is ideal for tucking into Piri-Piri chicken altogether, while the reading room is great for cosying up with a good book when you need some rest. Outside, there’s a private outdoor pool where you can take a lovely dip, along with alfresco sitting areas that provide stunning views out over the houses and hills in the distance.

This modern villa seamlessly blends into its surrounding environment, creating a tranquil retreat. The large windows bring the outdoors inside, providing ample opportunities to connect with nature. It's an ideal choice for couples or solo travellers seeking peace and views. With various lounging areas amidst the wildflowers, you can relax and unwind. While there is no air conditioning, the coastal breeze ensures a cool atmosphere. Positioned on a picturesque cliff-side, the villa is also conveniently located within walking distance of Praia das Maçãs beach, allowing you to enjoy sandy afternoons and return home to savour cocktails with a horizon view.

A Zen Moment

Parking On Street

Sitting pretty moments from Praia Grande, this beachfront villa is a sun worshipper's dream. And not only is it close to the Atlantic, but there's also a private pool with panoramic views. With ample seating, including an alfresco dining table, your outlook will be nature-focused here. Though the interior is traditional rather than sleek, we love how homely it feels. We think it works especially well for families who'd like to split into smaller groups – the two self-contained apartments and a separate bungalow can make that happen. With a tick on location, daily cleaning included, and the possibility for events, you can see why this one caught our eye.

Beachfront Serenity

Just 10km from the beautiful town of Sintra, this traditional home makes a great base from which to explore the Portuguese Riviera. It’s also just 1.5km from Praia das Maçãs beach as well as local restaurants and shops. We recommend hiring a car to get the most out of your stay, but for relaxing days at home, this villa ticks all the right boxes. The swimming pool can be heated (upon request), there’s a terrace for al fresco dining and the rooms are family-friendly – and with three ground floor bedrooms, this is a lovely option for those with reduced mobility. 

Vibrant Dreams

Outdoor Fireplace / Firepit

Looking at those views, it’s not hard to see why this home is in our collection. Then there’s the swimming pool (heated upon request), terrace and outdoor fire – ideal for sunset drinks and stargazing. From here, you can stroll down to nearby Praia da Aguda beach (just 1km away) and you’ll find restaurants, bars and a supermarket also within easy reach. For explorations further afield, we suggest hiring a car and visiting nearby Sintra (11km away) and Cape Roca. There’s free private parking, and if you’re looking for a little something extra your host can help organise excursions.  

Portuguese Nectar

Skirting the edge of the Sintra Cascais Natural Park, this house is wedged between the mountainous landscapes of the park and Guincho Beach. Perfect for sun and nature worshippers, the villa is ideal for large groups of friends or a family reunion. With plenty of room, bedrooms with their own private bathrooms, and even a gym, it carves out elegant spaces for everyone to holiday as they please. The views from the private swimming pool are beautiful. Plus, there's ample seating for sunset drinks. Daily cleaning and breakfasts are also included here so you can focus on what matters – taking it easy.

Modern and practical, this home suits a family keen to explore Sintra and the Portuguese coast. It's contemporary inside and out – although it lacks a few cosier touches, it's awash in natural light. The second bedroom is snug and features a pull-out trundle ideal for children. But the garden is a nice bonus, with a private swimming pool, playground, and views across the countryside. Location-wise, this home sits just outside Colares. Head west, and you'll hit Praia da Adraga. Or, drive east to visit Sintra's magical palaces and colourful castles.
