#### Location
The villa is ideally located for exploring the coast as well as inland areas. Guincho Beach is just under 10 minutes away by car and lies at the bottom of the beautiful Sintra hills. Thanks to the windy conditions, its waters are perfect for trying out wind and board surfing. If you prefer to watch, rather than take part yourself, you'll find the golden sands provide a comfortable view point. Take a picnic and soak up the views across the azure sea or stop for lunch at one of the restaurants that are close by.
Drive approximately 10 minutes north and you'll reach Cabo da Roca, mainland Europe's most western point. The area provides some spectacular views and is a great starting point to follow a walking trail along the coast. Make sure to take a photo of the iconic lighthouse and also of the monument that states the cape's geographical claim to fame.
A 15-20 minute drive will take you to Cascais. This resort town has a rich fishing heritage, with its marina still a bustling hub. It boasts two coastlines, with one being calmer and more suitable for swimming off its beaches, and the other a rugged surfer's paradise. There's plenty to do in the historic centre, including browsing museums and buildings of cultural significance. The Museu Condes de Castro Guimaraes is situated within a mock-Gothic castle dating from 1902 and showcases some of the furniture and art from the eccentric constructor's private collection. A good choice of boutique shops and cafes also offer the chance to indulge in some retail therapy before stopping for a coffee and people watching in the main square.
