Villa Zurana

The villa

Everything about the lovely Villa Zurana is beautifully finished! It is a modern villa built to the highest standard and decorated with style and sophistication. It has such a warm, comfortable and soothing ambience. With four stunning bedrooms, all with exquisite ensuite bathrooms it would suit a family of eight or a group of friends.   The villa is on the wonderful Praia del Rey Golf and Beach Resort on the Silver Coast so offers a handful of facilities such as tennis courts, gym and spa. It is a fantastic location with a beautiful beach. The Silver Coast has a majestic coastline with thrilling surf towns such as Nazare and family-friendly beaches including Praia del Rey, culture and history with atmospheric towns such as Tomar and Coimbra and beautiful, unspoiled scenery. You will find fabulous local cuisine and wines and beautiful weather. The lovely locals outnumber foreign tourists and are so friendly.   The 8m x 4m pool is surrounded by sun loungers and two outdoor dining terraces and a barbeque. The garden/terrace is cleverly planted, so it is private and peaceful.   The open-plan living and dining room is stylish and so serene. It relaxes you immediately and is extremely comfortable. The luxury kitchen is sleek and smart and also contains an informal breakfast table. With the glorious Silver Coast weather though, you are likely to eat outside most of the time. Downstairs there are two deluxe double bedroom suites with very streamlined, dazzling bathrooms. You will be delighted and won’t rush to get out of the shower!   On the first floor, there are a further two double suites with equally lovely ensuites. One has a shower and the other a bath. One has a balcony overlooking the pool. Villa Zurana is a lovely base for a holiday in this stunning area of Portugal.

The exclusive, renowned Praia del Rey Golf and Beach Resort is 70km from Lisbon airport. It is home to miles of pristine golden beaches, a world-class golf course and long days of glorious sunshine! The championship golf course is the centrepiece of the resort, but it also has a swimming pool, a Kalyan spa, gym, massage, tennis court, cycle rental, restaurants and a clubhouse that you can use for a fee. It is an oasis of relaxed style and world-class comforts in an unspoiled natural landscape.   Baleal, Nazare and Santa Cruz are 3 of the most popular beaches and are known for their silver-white sand and royal blue waters. Most of the beaches have thrilling surf waves though some sheltered bays are calmer. Nazare has pounding, exhilarating waves and is a surfers paradise. It is also a very picturesque town which holds quite a number of festivals.   Obidos feels like a walk back in time. It is 11km from the villa. It is so charming, surrounded by a city wall, with narrow, cobbled paths, a well-preserved castle and cute whitewashed homes. The local Ginjinha de Obidos is a sour brandy tipple drunk from a small chocolate cup. You should try it when you visit!   Calda da Rainha is a spa town founded by a queen! In the 15th century, Eleanor of Viseu discovered locals bathing in strange-smelling springs and founded Europe’s first hydrotherapy resort since the Roman times. The original spa is now restored as a museum. The graceful Parque Dom Carlos I is good for a visit. The town has a reputation for ceramics so you should visit the dreamy Museu de Ceramica. It is on a romantic 19th century estate. There is also an interesting cycling museum.
