The Floating Book Villa is situated within the famous Sintra Cascais natural park, with a state of the art swimming pool and the most modern and sleek of interiors, creating a real slice of heaven.

This villa has an immediate homely, welcoming feel created by the many books and artwork within it.

Occasional splashes of colour add to its charm, and bare wooden floors, multi-coloured bookshelves, and plush velvet chairs all feature. Multiple hanging lights extend from the ceiling in the sitting/ dining area, with book-shaped light shades in keeping with the villa’s name. A sleek breakfast bar feeds onto the main kitchen, with a large rectangular window for you to receive your food through. 2 to 3 staff are included with the rental, available to work up to 8 hours per day to make your life completely hassle free. These lovely staff are experts at cooking, cleaning and linen changing, and will be on hand to help with a smile on their faces. The house is 100% staffed which means that you will have the luxury of not having to step foot in the kitchen once.

You can of course choose and pay for your own food, but won’t have to worry about what to do with it once as our amazing chefs will do it all for you!

This also means that you can focus on relaxing and don’t have to worry about a thing, with it being cleaned once a day and all meals prepared for you by our amazing in-house chefs. As well as the 8 bedrooms, there is a dining/living room area, a drawing room that is ideal for settling into a book in, and a snooker room with a piano; it’s safe to say that you and your guests will not get bored when staying at the Floating Book Villa! The pool is one of the villa’s most enticing features, with absolutely breath-taking views of the ocean and modern flood lighting to create an amazing mood for the evening.

Surrounded by wooden planking and sunbeds, the pool will be the place you spend the majority of your time at when staying at the Floating Book Villa.

The amazing Guincho Beach is just a 4 minute drive from the house, and The Getaway Collection’s private concierge service will be more than happy to organise surfing, kite-surfing, sailing and any other sea-based activities you can think of! They’re also available to organise land-based expeditions, be it horse riding, yoga, bird watching or anything in between. Tours in the surrounding areas are also a huge hit with guests staying at the Floating Book Villa, from Lisbon to Sintra to Cabo da Roca, the world is your oyster.
