The house has a Buddhist Temple on the first floor and is very well located in São João do Estoril. From the house it is a 10 minute walk to the sea side or in the opposite direction, to the station where you can take the train to the capital city – Lisbon. Despite the house being in the village, near 
the center, it is quiet, with an open view, surrounded by pine trees and you can hear the birdsong in the early morning.Surrounded by silence, you almost feel like you are in the country side.
However, nearby you have a Casino (about a 20
minute walk) which opens daily at 4 pm and is open until late into the night with shows, live music, restaurants, etc.The Casino also has a beautiful garden where you can take a walk or just sit and read a book.
On the other side of the road there is the Train
Station where you can catch a train to either Lisbon or Cascais, the last village on this coast. Beyond the station you are at the sea side. From São João do Estoril, our place, all the way to Cascais there is a wide beach walk promenade that is about 3 km long.
In olden times Cascais was a small fishing village, but it quickly became a high society refuge. Today you can find lots of attractions including a Marine, bars, hotels and shops.The village has some architectonic particularities and it is still possible to find a section of the wall
and one of the doors from the old city.In the olden days all the coast line was protected by fortifications, of which many remain.
Between Cascais and Sintra there is a large Natural Park.
The village of Sintra is an ex-libris from the times
of the Portuguese Royalty.The charming village is full of palaces, scattered about in the the lush green forest on the mountain side.
This is full of historical monuments and is without a doubt a place to be visited.
