Casa Guincho Unique property with ocean views, walking distance to Guincho beach

Casa Guincho is for lovers of nature, space, ocean and light. It is where your horizons expand as you sit in the garden with a glass of local wine and take in the breathtaking views over the green valley national park towards Guincho beach and the surrounding countryside.

A unique family home with a great vibe in an elevated location offering spacious living, amazing sunsets, lots of light and cosy bedrooms. The moment you arrive you will feel ready to unwind and enjoy quiet moments under the olive trees, BBQ lunches, candle lit dinners and chilling with friends and family by the large salt water pool (11x5 meters).

Picture yourself waking up in the mornings and walking out onto a terra-cotta terrace as you sit down with your morning coffee. Imagine the perfect place for your yoga practice or meditation. A dream house, where standing in the lounge and looking out through the huge window, you have a birds-eye view over the tree tops to the rolling Guincho waves in the near distance.

Casa Guincho is set on a shared property, where you will enjoy your private pool and garden. The property is located in the typical small village of Charneca, only 5 minutes’ drive from Cascais and 10 minutes from Estoril. The stunning Guincho beach (where you will be able to surf, windsurf, chill out at the beach bar or simply soak up the sun!) is a couple of minutes’ drive away, or 15-20 minutes’ walk from the house, through a beautiful green valley in the Sintra-Cascais Natural Park. In Charneca, there is a small supermarket, a couple of local cafés, a restaurant, an equestrian centre, a tennis court, as well as a bus stop. Within a couple of minutes’ drive, you will reach the nearby villages of Aldeia de Juso and Areia. Aldeia de Juso is the place to go if you want fresh local produce, and Areia is the “surfer hub” of Cascais, being right next to the Guincho sand-dunes, with a wide variety of local cafes and lively restaurants, suited to everyone’s price range! Even though a quiet and peaceful location in which to spend relaxing holidays, the village of Charneca is only 2,5 km away from the A5, the motorway connection to Portugal’s bustling capital, Lisbon! A few minutes drive leads you to the ocean facing road from Guincho to Cascais, along which you can find some of the best seafood restaurants in the region.

The house has been recently refitted with a modern kitchen, bath and shower rooms, salt water tiled pool and added a huge chill out sofa, to enjoy the view from the lounge.

Please be informed that below reviews are dating back a few years and Casa Guincho has just been fully renovated and very warmly welcomed back. Only available through My Friends' Houses!

We enjoyed this beautiful home near Cascais for 4 nights. Celine and David were wonderful hosts and were super helpful with sightseeing, dining and shopping recommendations. The house was perfect, clean and spacious with a fully stocked kitchen, all the amenities you need and views from almost every room in the house! While it was too cold to enjoy the beautiful pool, we enjoyed our time and would return if the opportunity presents itself. Thank you Celine and David!

Our stay was wonderful at Casa Guincho! A group of 8 of us were in town for the Cascais Ironman and absolutely enjoyed our stay during our time. The house is clean, spacious, secure, and has gorgeous views. 10/10 would recommend for those traveling to Cascais. Manon and Céline were gracious hosts, thanks again to you both!

Spectacular home stay
Located in a village above the spectacular Guincho beach, stunning views of the ocean and sunsets. The walk to the beach is just over a mile, most in our group preferred getting Uber or Bolt car back up to the house (from the car parking area). Great beach bars and a restaurant, toilets and showers available, and surfing lessons! The house is spacious and very comfortable for a group. 2 primary suites with private bathrooms. 3 other rooms share a bathroom and there is a toilet on the main level. The kitchen very well appointed but no microwave. :-) The pool was very refreshing and a great treat after a day at the beach. The village has a small market and restaurant very close to the house and additional markets and lovely restaurants nearby. We did not have a car, but had no problem getting around, mostly with Uber (Bolt is a local similar car app). Our hosts were amazing and very helpful. We had a great stay and would highly recommend. We’re already talking about coming back! Obrigada Manon, ciao for now!

Fabulous property and location
Everything about our stay at Casa Guincho was superb, from the help provided by Celine ahead of our arrival (arranging surfing, yoga, at home cooking etc.) to the property itself which is simply beautiful and in the most idyllic location a 20 minute walk from Praia do Guincho. If we needed anything our hosts were always super responsive and helpful. All in a great holiday experience.

Magic
I've been planning my 50th birthday party for over 5 years and in the process, looked at hundreds of houses to rent for a group of 8 of my friends. Choosing this house was one of the best decisions I have ever made. My friends are women that are hard to impress and I was a little nervous to get something they all would love. They have lived all over the world and have incredible taste, and this stunning house exceeded everyone's expectations. It was even better than it looked in the photos, and the hosts were wonderful, warm and responsive. The house itself is clean, spacious and gorgeously decorated without being fussy. It beautifully open to the view of the ocean, but also has lots of areas to sit quietly on your own (not that we did that). The sunsets took our breath away. Thank you so much to Celine and Luca for making this a trip I will never forget. Your recommendations were just perfect and your house is so special. I couldn't have ever imagined a more magical experience. Love! Some specifics: - It's a 15-20 min walk down to the beach - Take surf lessons with Shaka Surf School - Lunch afterwards at Bar do Guincho - There is a small market about a 3 minutes walk from the house for basics - The restaurant around the corner is a great example of local, delicious cuisine - Ubers are very easy to get, and inexpensive - Celine organized a private chef (Lucas) to cook dinner for us at the house on our first night and it was the highlight of the trip

Big, Bright and very comfortable with sensational vuews
Our group of 8 (parents plus 6 kids 20-30) have just had 8 nights at Casa Quincho. We absolutely loved the house, the pool and yard, the beautiful view, the area, little local restaurants/bars and the relaxed feel of the house. We didn’t want to leave! The house was spotless, the rooms big and lots of spaces to chill by yourself or as a group. The kitchen had absolutely everything you could need and we loved cooking on the bbq and eating round the pool. Céline, David, Luca and Elena were fantastic to deal with, quick to respond and always happy to answer questions! Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful home with us. Highly recommend Casa Quincho
