Welcome to The Coast of Lisbon!
|
Eva & Hilario have 2 garden flats to rent (with pool) in Murches, our little village 5km from Cascais. Both are air-conditioned (with heating option for winter). They are fully equipped and include bed linen and towels (weekly change available). The kitchenettes have a gas cooker, microwave, fridge, toaster and electric kettle and both have clothes washing machines. Casita Rosa also has a full oven.
It is a quiet location, ideally situated for sight-seeing, coastal strolls, walks in the hills, beaches and, of course, shopping. The village centre is 3 minutes' walk, where you will find a mini-market, hardware store, cafe, video club and magical Panisol which sells wonderful bread and mouth-watering cakes!

THE VILLAGE OF MURCHES
Murches is about 5 km. north of Cascais on the road to Malveira da Serra. Sheltered by the Sintra Hills, it is a village which has escaped the development of high-rise apartments. The houses are mostly detached with gardens and there are many older dwellings surrounded by whitewashed walls. Village life centres around the 2 cafés and small grocery store. The public wash tanks are still used by the locals and the fish van hoots his horn once a week to let us know he has arrived. On a Saturday morning you might hear the distinctive whistle of the knife grinder as he cycles around offering to sharpen knives and fix umbrellas. The road from the centre of the village up to our properties peters out after a while and becomes a dirt track leading down into the valley – a real country walk which Bonnie will happily show you if you are feeling energetic!
