Description
The wondrous Casa Galega is located on a hugely generous plot on the outskirts of Cascais, the Lisbon Coast’s ever popular and fashionable resort. How wonderful to wake to the cheerful sound of birdsong and to be able to roam in beautiful gardens! This lavish and enchanting villa boasts four outstanding, luxurious bedroom suites. In total these suites sleep 8 guests in superb comfort though you can also use the sofabed in one suite and extra beds in two others, sleeping up to 11 guests in total. The main living space is glitzy, superbly comfortable and certainly boasts the wow factor with its double height aspect and huge chandelier.
Cascais is upmarket, classy and enjoys a fascinating history. Once a charming Portuguese fishing town, Cascais was the summer retreat of the Portuguese nobility. Today it is an elegant fusion of its heritage and everything you would hope for from a modern tourist town. Within the narrow, cobbled streets of the historic centre, you will find interesting museums, an imposing fort, lavish houses and charming, unique shops and restaurants. You can enjoy delicious waterside cocktails and fresh fish at the gourmet restaurants. A short train ride can take you into the centre of Lisbon or to one of the delightful beaches along the coast. Around the corner you will find the atmospheric and beautiful Sintra.
The gardens are sprawling with lush lawns, colourful beds and acers, palms and fragrant pines surrounding the buildings. A sloping lawn and steps lead down to the gorgeous swimming pool where you can enjoy lazing on deluxe loungers enjoying the sunshine. There is a shaded area if the sun is too strong. Beside the pool, you will find a sensational alfresco dining area with a superb, professional outdoor kitchen. There are so many beautiful alfresco lounge areas in the gardens, you could almost choose a different spot every evening. Like the interior furniture, the outdoor sofas and chairs are superbly comfortable.
Casa Galega enjoys some flexible sleeping arrangements, dependant on the number of guests wanting to stay. The beautiful, refined Naranja suite enjoys cool, mellow tones, luxury linens on the superior kingsize bed and a huge headboard. Glass doors open to a beautiful fitted ensuite bathroom with a jacuzzi bath and a shower overhead. The very best fittings are used ensuring luxury and comfort. Apelsin is a bright and airy luxury suite with a superb kingsize bed, a glorious ensuite, beautiful wooden flooring and space for an extra bed on request. Arancione is a family suite with twin beds set next to each other forming a massive superking bed plus a separate bunk bed room and space for an extra bed. The brilliant red bunk beds are super cool, contrasting beautifully with the contemporary ‘leaf’ print wallpaper. This suite can sleep 4 if required and enjoys a private courtyard terrace. It also offers a gorgeous contemporary bathroom with a sunken marble bath with a shower overhead. As you may expect, the Orange suite enjoys hints of orange with velvet scatter cushions and a bright orange sofabed which can be used for 2 extra guests. It is another refined, beautiful room with considerable space and a delightful ensuite with a jacuzzi bath and state-of-the-art shower. The suite overlooks the pool with easy access for an early morning swim.
The open plan living and dining room is grand, ostentatious and very vibrant. It is brimming with huge artworks that adorn the double height walls, some of which are cleverly recessed. There is a huge array of sumptuous sofas and chairs, all wonderfully comfortable and enjoying garden views. Guests can tickle the ivories of the piano entertaining the group. Swanky contemporary wallpaper decorates the wall next to the lengthy dining table though you may decide to eat outside. This room is truly spectacular with a gorgeous mezzanine hallway above.
Casa Galega will no doubt leave you with wonderful holiday memories and indulge you with the sleep of kings in its heavenly, luxurious suites. /n Security deposit /n Credit card details are required 2 weeks prior to departure for pre-authorisation /n Arrival time /n 4:00 pm /n Departure time /n 10:30 am /n Energy costs included? /n Yes, included in the rental price /n Heating costs included? /n Not available in this property /n Linen & towels included? /n Yes, included in the rental price /n Pool towels included? /n Yes, included in the rental price (one towel per person) /n End of stay cleaning included? /n Extra €500, paid locally.
