The Garden Villa

This villa is a wonderful pick for guests planning a fabulous trip to Portugal. Located in the Marisol area south of Lisbon, it's a tranquil spot with easy access to the region's long, sandy beaches.

Step inside, and you'll find a bright and airy space with lots of room for everyone to relax. The neutral colour palette and natural textures create an upmarket feel, and the sleek kitchen is perfect for budding chefs to show off their culinary skills. Serve up your culinary creations at the glass dining table, or fire up the barbeque for an alfresco feast while the kids enjoy the play area. You'll also find an outdoor swimming pool for refreshing dips, and plenty of loungers where you can soak up the sun with a good book and a cool drink.

You're spoilt for choice with numerous local beaches to choose from, each with its own unique charms. If you can't decide, a nine-minute drive will bring you to Fonte da Telha, a golden gem beside the Atlantic. And, if you fancy a day trip, you can drive into the city of Lisbon in half an hour to soak up the capital's rich history and culture.
