Who stays here

Activities

Pool and sauna

Private outdoor pool and sauna at the villa, praised by many guests. Some spent every day by the pool, and the sauna was added during one winter stay. Both sit apart from the work areas, so they work as a separate social space.

Location

Malveira da Serra, Cascais, Portugal

The villa sits in the hills of Malveira da Serra above Cascais, with sweeping views over Guincho and the coast. Guincho is a small coastal town about 25 minutes by car from Lisbon, known for its vast sandy beach, surf breaks and kitesurfing spots. The area backs onto the Sintra-Cascais National Park, a green, protected mountain landscape. The road up the hill is a little bumpy.
