Adjacent to the Mouraria are the likewise old quarters of Alfama Every year in June, the streets of all three quarters come alive with the feasts in honour of the popular saints ( St António - 12 June ) . Bairro Alto is also wonderfully lively at night – lots of restaurants, fado houses and late night bars/clubs.

Guestbook for Zen Villa

Thanks for a lovely stay in Cascais. Your house was fantastic and your welcoming and hospitality is second to none! I hope we will visit Cascais for events in the future and I know exactly who I will be calling ! In the meantime if I hear of anyone looking for somewhere to go on holidays I will be recommending Cascais and your house! M Asquith ( UK)

Just a note to thank you for everything both before and during our stay. We loved the villa - it was ideal for our family group with enough space for everyone and very well equipped (…). The complex was lovely; quiet and very well maintained. We found plenty to do in the area to keep us entertained - in fact we all wished that we had booked for two full weeks! We had a wonderful holiday and hope to return some time in the future. C.Warnock ( Northern Ireland)

Just a note to say how very much we enjoyed our holiday at Zen Villa. It is comfortable, spacious and wonderfully decorated. We found it an ideal place to holiday with our young child. Thank you for your warm welcome.
We hope to be able to come again, and perhaps even next year J Hay ( London)

We would like to say thank you for the care, attention and friendly welcome we received during our stay.
We have been in Portugal for several times and as usual we had a wonderful holiday in Cascais,great food,weather,and as usual a great welcome from the lovely people of Portugal. We are already looking forward to our next visit in the following months! Munique, Deutschland O.W.

We had a wonderful time. We had a very warm welcome on our arrival from the owner, Cristina. The villa surpassed our expectations - the pictures on the internet don't quite do it justice. It was more spacious than we had expected and everything was provided, towels, bed linen, high chair, etc - a great help when travelling with young kids!
Helped by excellent weather, the kids had a great time. The villa is on a corner plot and the kids played football next to it and really enjoyed the playground which is a few minutes walk away, as is an excellent bakery and a small supermarket. The kids enjoyed the outdoor pool although in April it was still pretty cold.
The town of Cascais is beautiful and we had lunch or dinner in the town everyday. A car is needed but the town is only 5 minutes drive from the resort. Finally we found the Portuguese extremely friendly and children were warmly welcomed wherever we went - we look forward to returning again next year. J.C (UK)
