Notes
The main entrance of the Villa has a fashionable Asian entrance table with 3 enchanting lamps. The living room has two large sofas, one dinning bamboo table with 6 chairs, one armchair, two sofa tables, two lamps, one up light and also a log fire (42). The living room links to a porch which has one sunshade, two tables, 8 chairs, two deck chairs and a sun bed and it is a very pleasant, quiet and relaxing place either to enjoy meals al fresco or the sunset.
Costa de Lisboa, on the southwestern coast, offers a rich and impressively integrated diversity. The capital of Portugal since its conquest from the Moors in 1147, Lisbon is a legendary city with over 20 centuries of History.
The St George’s Castle and Mouraria is one of the oldest quarters in Lisboa on the top of the hill. Adjacent to the Mouraria are the likewise old quarters of Alfama Every year in June, the streets of all three quarters come alive with the feasts in honour of the popular saints ( St António - 12 June ) . Bairro Alto is also wonderfully lively at night – lots of restaurants, fado houses and late night bars/clubs.
From Lisbon International airport to Vila Bicuda's
From the Airport, follow to City Center (Centro), pass the tunnel, follow to 2ª circular (for about 6 Km), follow to the highway A5 until the end (about 26 Km). Pay tool in Carcavelos (halfway). When you reach the end of the highway A5 follow all the road signals saying Vila Bicuda and Hotel da Marinha. At the end instead of turning right (to Hotel Quinta da Marinha) go in front and you will see a roundabout full of plants, flowers and flags that is the main entrance of Vila Bicuda's Resort. At last you reached Portugal's best kept secret!
I can book a transfer directly from the airport to Zen Villa (55€). Please let me know in advance.

“Just a note to thank you for everything, both before and during our stay. We loved the villa - it was ideal for our family group with enough space for everyone and very well equipped (…). The complex was lovely; quiet and very well maintained. We found plenty to do in the area to keep us entertained - in fact we all wished that we had booked for two full weeks! We had a wonderful holiday and hope to return some time in the future.” Catherine Warnock (Belfast, Northern Ireland)
