Beautifully finished both in specification and furnishing the apartment is ideal for all sorts of holidaymakers.
Perfect for golfers, the area of Estoril and Sintra currently has 20 golf courses with a wide range of differing characteristics, built on either links, parkland or heathland terrain and therefore affording golfers a variety of interesting and challenging options to satisfy their past time. The closest course to Manique is Estoril.

The Costa de Lisboa/Lisbon region
Staying in Villaggio Manique means taking full advantage of staying in Portugal which itself is one of the world's most attractive and sought-after holiday destinations with its stunning natural beauty and rich historical cultural traditions.
The beaches, the food, the sport, the leisure opportunities, the culture, the tradition and the heritage, all set in setting of rare beauty come together to promise of an unparalleled experience.
Considered by many to be the Portuguese Riveira, Estoril and Cascais are full of glamour and charisma. Facing the south the beaches in the estuary of the Tagus offer visitors calm water, fine sand and modern facilities.
Cascais not only has a beautiful sandy beach but is also famous for the Casino and the F1 racing track. The Casino, attracting a lot of people, is said to be the biggest in Europe and sits with a view across the beach and out to sea. The F1 track is located between Cascais and Sintra.
Sintra is a city located about 15 minutes or so from Manique. It is surrounded by mountains, beaches and a lot of forest. It is an old Moorish city, recaptured in 1147, with a lot to see - from the 2 castles on top of the hill, 1 (Castelo dos Mouros) medieval-style stone castle and the other (Palacio de Pena) colourful and unique to the fabulous 'Quinta da Regaleira'. Its cultural landscape is a UNESCO World Heritage, making it one of the most romantic places to see.
Estoril area
Villaggio Manique nestles in the dazzling setting of Cascais, right on the Estoril coast.. It is close to the Sintra Mountain Range and its Natural Park, as well as being very close to extensive gorgeous beaches and is only 25kms (or 20 minutes) from the beauty and culture of cosmopolitan Lisbon.
Considered some of the best in Europe, golf in this area are a major attraction for golfers and the following courses are within close reach:
Lisbon Sports Club - although short in overall length there are many tricky holes where local knowledge is a bonus and wayward shots are usually severely punished.
Belas Clube de Campo - this Roquemore designed course is a championship class course with fairways through undulating terrain in hills west of Lisbon. Estoril - the closest to Manique and well known for its hosting of the Portuguese Open 19 times.
Quinta da Beloura - opened in 1994 the course is laid out in gently undulated terrain between Sintra and Estoril, roughly 10-20 minutes drive from Manique.Academia de Golfe Estoril-Sol - run by a former Portuguese Golf Federation teaching pro the academy offers a range of tuition options.
Penha Longa Golf Resort - enjoying majestic views over Estoril and Cascais towards the ocean it has been the venue of many prestige events, including 2 Portuguese Opens, and is within 10 - 20 minutes of Manique. Quinta da Marinha - near the coast, just west of Cascais, and only 10 - 20 minutes from Manique.
A privileged location for watersports, from the most radical to the most sophisticated, the Costa do Estoril offers unique conditions for sea lovers, with high quality facilities including the modern Cascais Marina. One of the particular attractions of the Costa do Estoril is its numerous restaurants.
Estoril has a wide range of facilities for all sportsmen and women. The Autodromo do Estoril, the most important race track in the country, hosts spectacular national and international races.
For tennis enthusiasts the yearly Estoril Open (one of the most popular international tennis tournaments in Portugal) is only 5 minutes from Villaggio Manique. The unconfirmed dates for 2008 are 1st April - 31 May 2008.
How to get there
Lisbon is the nearest airport and between a 20 -30 minute drive from Villaggio Manique in good traffic. The best airlines to look at are Monarch, Easy Jet and TAP Portugal which I have found give you the best rates and the most frequent flights.
Car rental companies are everywhere in Lisbon airport and so far the best tried and tested is Europcar who seem to do a good rate and also it's a quicker process to pick up and drop off the car. Make sure you fill up the car before you give it back - the car rental fuel rates are ridiculous! As you are coming into Lisbon on the main A5 motorway there is a petrol station which seems to be the cheapest on the road to the airport.
Please note, toll charges apply on the A5 (currently 1 euro 15).
Directions to Manique are simple - from Lisbon Airport take the 2nd Circular traveling West and join the A5 toward Cascais/Estoril. After the toll take the turning to Manique/Bicesse and keep following the signs to Manique. Villaggio Manique is on the outskirts of Manique - more detailed directions are sent to you after you've booked.
