Around the large private swimming pool, guests will find no shortage of sun loungers where they can switch off and read a good book. The outdoor dining facilities provide the perfect setting for guests to prepare and enjoy delicious alfresco meals together. Despite being located in a residential area, villa feels private and secluded due to the abundance of trees and greenery in the garden. With the beach just a short distance away, and an array of restaurants and activities to choose from in Cascais, guests are truly spoilt for choice at villa. The golden sands of Praia Grande are less than a 10-minute drive away from Villa Bloscsa and a short drive from Sintra and Cascais. The water here is shallow, making it especially ideal for children wanting to go for a swim. Due to the strong waves, it’s a favourite spot for surfing, and you can have a go at this and a range of other water sports.<br /><br />It’s an ideal place for a day out by the sea with the family as there are plenty of amenities available, such as cafés, bars and toilets. During low tide, you can reach the neighbouring beach of Praia Pena.<br /><br />Praia Grande is part of Sintra-Cascais Natural Park - and you can see how it blends into this wild area with the rugged cliffs that back the beach. At the top of the cliffs are many walking paths, including a trail of fossilised dinosaur footprints that are utterly fascinating.<br /><br />You can enjoy a day out within Sintra-Cascais Natural Park after just a 10-minute drive from the villa. Within the forest-covered mountains are pastel-coloured palaces that soar majestically above the treetops. <br /><br />One of the most beautiful to visit is Pena National Palace, a 19th-century Romanticist structure built upon the ruins of an ancient monastery on the top of a hill. The palace is a beautiful and atmospheric place to explore, and the views from its grounds are breathtaking.<br /><br />The traditional fishing town of Cascais is around a 35-minute drive away and offers the chance to soak up local daily life and culture. There are also plenty of attractions to visit, including the Condes de Castro Guimarães museum that displays furniture and art from a private collection of an early 20th-century Irish millionaire. <b>The Villa</b><br />villa is a delightgul property that comprises of 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms and can accommodate up to 8 guests, plus an additional 2 in the&nbsp; playroom. <i>Ground floor</i><br />- Fully equipped kitchen <br />- Living and dining room <br /><br /><i>Lower floor </i><br />- Bedroom with bunk beds an ensuite shower room <br />- Bedroom with double bed<br />- Shower room <i><br /><br />First floor </i><br />- Bedroom with double bed <br />- Bedroom with twin beds <br />- Playroom with two mattresses on the floor <br />- One bathroom with bath tub<i><br /><br />Exterior </i><br />- Private swimming pool <br />- Outdoor dining area<br />- Sun loungers <i><br /><br />Additional facilites </i><br />- Wi-Fi<br />- Dishwasher <br />- Washing machine Security deposit: £700 to be held on clients' credit card as guarantee, to be paid at time of booking Arrival time: 4 pm Departure time: 10 am Linen & towels included?: Linen & towels are included in the rental price.
