Local information:
The village where the property is situated has a mini market where one can find almost anything. There is also a couple of cafes and a restaurant that does good local food at very reasonable prices. At Guincho beach, only a couple of minutes away, you'll find several bars, one of which often does good evening animations. Along the coast road which runs from Guincho to Cascais you will encounter a large choice of seafood and fish restaurants.
Entertainment :
Cascais was once a fishing village, it has now become a small town with a wide choice of restaurants, bars, clubs and shops. There is still the small fishing port as well as a newly built marina. Estoril (next to Cascais) is famous for his Casino and his Fomula 1 racing track. Sintra has got a wide range of cultural and historical interest and in Lisbon, you will find everything a capital can offer. One of the local attraction is the regular markets displayed in the area and, in the summer, Cascais, Estoril and Sintra propose music, handy craft and dance festivals.
Sports:
Many sports can be enjoyed within easy reach of the house. First, you can walk straight out of the door and enjoy many walks in the nature or towards the sea. Five golf courses are only about 10 minutes away; another 14 are situated within an hours drive. There is a horse riding place in the village where rides and lessons can be organised. The next door village has got a beautiful tennis court with a sea view, in the sand dunes. Guincho beach is one of the most famous in Europe for surfing and wind-surfing. You can also do sailing, water-skiing, diving and, of course, swimming. In the Sintra Mountain, there are many tracks where you can enjoy beautiful walks or mountain-biking.
We can organise surfing, body-boarding and other activities with transport directly from the house to beaches with the best waves and away from the crowds. Or you might prefer a personalised cultural tour.
