Located at just 10 or 12 mins walk is Casa da Guia with all of its speciality shops, boutiques and restauarnats. Outdoor cafés offering afternoon refreshmens overlooking the sea with wonderful views up to the Cascais Marina.
Hire a bicycle without charge by producing photo ID, and enjoy the purpose built cycle path which stretches for miles along the beautiful coastline from Cascais Marina to Guincho Beach.
Locally - Cascais Marina is great for good food and atmosphere. Sit among the boats and enjoy the sunset from the top deck. Also try the restaurants along the Guincho Road. Ones that stand out are Furnas do Guincho and Monte Mar (be prepared to pay a small price premium for great service and fantastic views and atmosphere).
Situated within minutes of the popular square, Largo de Camões in the cobble street zone of Cascais, with its abundance of choice when it comes to cafés, restaurants or bars.
The Artisan Fair in Estoril (behind Casino) each July and August offers handicraft and a variety of restaurants serving traditional food.
There is a regular bus service to Guincho Beach, #405. The #403 will get you to Sintra. Another useful route is the #406 from Cascais to Cascais Shopping ( a mall type shopping centre on the outskirts of Cascais Estoril) It stops in Estoril by the beach before returning to Cascais terminus.
Night life includes the Tamariz Night Club which is practically suspended over the beach in Estoril (summertime only) and Jezebels Night Club behind Estoril Casino (during the winter months). Alternatively try the club for "the young at heart" (Vangogo) or 70's retro club Rolls Royce, both in Cascais old town. Take in the International Show or Dinner & Show at the Estoril Casino. For the very young or young at heart, take a stroll through the local park (Parque Municipal da Gandarinha) in Cascais. There is an infant playground & mini zoo where you can feed the ducks - or just sit at the local café and read a book whilst the peacocks strut around you. Sit out in the late afternoon and enjoy the sunset on the Esplanade Bar in Cascais (Praia da Rainha), whilst enjoying champagne sangria. Or if you're an early riser, catch the auctions in the square where the fishermen sell their daily catch. Market days are Wednesday (full market day) and Saturday, (fresh produce)
There are many walking routes in the mountains (parts of it protected by World Heritage) behind Cascais, if you wish we can provide information and/or contacts to the local walking groups here. Alternatively ask us about our buggy tours to these areas and the sand dunes near Guincho.
The tourism office is situated in the square in Cascais, for all the maps and local information you need.
On the doorstep to the property is the Parque Marechal Carmona - one single space resulting from the marriage of the gardens of the Palace of the Conde of Castro Guimarães and the property of the Visconde of Gandarinha. Apart from an abundance of exotic trees and shrubs, the tranquillity of this park offers curious hiding places to quietly read a book or romantic tree lined pathways to wander around the small ponds, a mini zoo, aviary, youth library, infant playground, duck pond, café, museum, chapel, rose gardens etc... right in the heart of Cascais.

Guest's Comments
Our family with two young children enjoyed the unit very much. The location made access to the beaches very easy in both north and south directions where we had great fun. Restaurants with excellent food choices and in town activities were also convenient to reach and pleasant to experience. The unit itself was roomy, attractive, comfortable, of very good quality and maintained all the necessary conveniences needed during our stay. We particularly liked how the unit is in a rather private part of the complex and at the same time very good security was felt to make us feel at home and able to truly enjoy our vacation.
