Lisbon villas from Villas Worldwide have been carefully selected for their location, quality and value for money. Many such as the Cazal das Giestas, a beautiful villa with private pool for 10 people, have become firm favourites with our clients who enjoy staying in villas in the Lisbon area.

Lisbon is the capital of Portugal and as many as 10% of the countries population reside in the city. Its sea front setting, Rio Tejo river estuary and a substantial old town based on three hills provide the main elements of this fascinating, cultured city. Lisbon is steeped in history dating back to pre-Roman and remnants of Moorish occupation and Christian crusades still remain in the form of the Castelo de Sao Jorge, along with numerous references to its famous personalities which include many artists and poets.

The Lisbon area is the richest in the country and this wealth is reflected in the infrastructure and architecture on display which dates back over the ages. Despite a devastating earthquake in 1755 which wreaked havoc and destruction the city recovered its stature.

Lisbon is well known for its excellent value cafés and restaurants and has become a popular capital for visitors who also enjoy the foreign influences of former Portuguese colonies: Brazil, Mozambique, Angola, Cap Verde, Macoa and Goa.

Lisbon's beach suburbs of Estoril and Cascias lie to the west and to the south there is the Costa da Caprica followed by the port of Setubal and the resort of Sesimbra, which is well frequented by locals. 

Lisbon airport is located about twenty minutes north of the centre and there are good rail services plus a metro in Lisbon which are advisable in preference to taking the car.
