Casa Sarracena, facing south and west high up overlooking the Atlantic and within sight of the lighthouse on Cabo da Roca, the most westerly point on mainland Europe, is a restored and traditional Portuguese cottage located in the quiet, unspoilt village of Azoia in the foothills of the wooded Serra de Sintra. It offers a rare chance to sample Portuguese village life, well off the normal tourist track but with exciting opportunities for walking, exploring palaces, churches and castles very close to the beautiful surfing beaches along the coast. Lisbon can be reached easily by train from nearby Cascais or by motorway.

Casa Sarracena offers an open-plan living/dining room and kitchen. Washing machine, microwave, TV, video, radio/CD/cassette player and Casio keyboard included. 2 twin bedrooms and 2 bath/shower/wc.

Outside
