LOCATION & GETTING HERE
LOCATION
The main accommodation options sit in Murches, a relaxed residential area close to Guincho Beach and the trails and scenery of Sintra National Park. With several beaches nearby (from mellow bays to more exposed surf spots), the area is ideal for mixing beach days, nature, and a bit of city energy from the greater Lisbon region.
We are located 5 minutes by car from Gincho Beach, 10 minutes by car from Caiscais village and 30 minutes by car from the center of Lisbon.
Our Surrounding:
- Caiscais blends the charm of a former fishing village—later a favorite resort of Portuguese royalty—with a modern, outdoorsy vibe that attracts sun-seekers and wave-chasers year-round. Cascais is often seen as a “surf capital” of the Lisbon area, surrounded by beaches, gardens, and historic villas and palaces, and it’s easy to pair surf time with great dining, especially fresh seafood spots around town.
- Sintra is close by and internationally known for its UNESCO-listed Cultural Landscape, where Romantic-era palaces and lush parks sit among the Serra hills. Lisbon is also within easy reach, and the train between Cascais and the city is a popular, scenic option along the waterfront.
Getting Here
There are 3 main ways to get here from Lisbon Airport:
– UBER / BOLT: Cheaper option than a Taxi if you want a door to door service. Ask for an Uber when you are going out of the bags delivery (normally takes around 5-7min) and find him outside on Departures parking lot. He will take you to Cascais in around 20/40min (depending on the traffic) and will cost you 25€/40€.
– TAXI: Takes more or less 35/40min and costs during the day around 40€ and during the night 45€ for the ride.
– PUBLIC TRANSPORT: Take the Metro (Red line) on the Airport and go to Alameda station. In Alameda you have to change from the Red line to the Green Line and go until the last stop Cais do Sodré. In Cais do Sodré take the train all the way to the last stop that is Cascais. The full ride will take 1:30h. From the train station to our Villa you can get an Uber for maximum 4/5€.
