We enjoyed the property with the large pool and garden. The house is rather dated but was pleasant and the kitchen well equipped.
The reason for the low ratings is that on arrival we found the house to be very damp smelling. The kitchen equipment all needed cleaning as did the garden furniture. The bbq was filthy as was the pool. We had no arrival instructions. Francisco was helpful but very slow in responding. It would have helped enormously to have written instructions not having to endlessly ask questions. The house felt like we were the first people of the season arriving although it was August.
Once the pool was cleaned and we had cleaned all the crockery, cutlery and garden furniture we began to enjoy our holiday.
A few things to note. The second bunk ladder is broken and we found this outside, the towels definitely need replacing. No swimming towels were provided but we found these in various cupboards.
Please don’t get me wrong. We had a good holiday but were very frustrated with simple things that could have been improved.

We recently spent a week here (2 families of 4 with children aged 10-13) & had a lovely time overall.The house is in a stunning location, is clean & well equipped, close to the village & amenities. Pine trees provide shade & the pool & table tennis were very well used.A few things to note: we received no check in info & wrongly assumed we would be met at 4pm; this was not the case & we were not able to easily contact Francisco. He called us back at 6:08pm to tell know where the keys were.He apologised as he mistakenly thought he had told us (our mistake in not checking but equally someone should be able to take a call when new guests check in).An important point to note is that the property is not wheelchair accessible as stated. One of our family members is disabled & whilst not a wheelchair user, a walk-in shower is preferred. The walk in shower door in this house is incredibly difficult to open even for someone with no disability. The door gets stuck on the floor and can only open around 30-40cm at a push. The bidet would also obstruct getting a wheelchair in.There are also steps down into the living area.The pool is big & clean but the floor is damaged in places with sharp edges.It would be helpful to have an info file saying when to expect the pool cleaner & which light switches operate which lights - it was a puzzle! The bunkbed room needs new linen & pillows.On our last day the cleaners arrived at 9:45am despite checkout being 11am. But we did have a really great week!

We had a fantastic stay. The house was so well equipped, with everything you could need. The kids loved the pool and playing table tennis. The property was a short walk to Praia das Maçãs beach (about 30 minutes with small children) with a great beach and lots of places to eat. Would highly recommend this property, not only a grwat property in a beautiful area but host, Fransico, responding in timely way to any queries. Thank you for a fantastic stay.

We had a fantastic holiday in Banzao, Corales. One of the best holidays we have had as a family . We were so happy in Francisco’s fantastic house. The house really fit our needs, and the added bonus of the pool and beautiful trees made it even better. Thank you for a wonderful stay. I hope we will be back!

This is a large, spacious house well suited for a family or for a group of friends. A really private and quiet place.The interior is lovely and the kitchen is equipped for cooking for many persons. The garden is huge, there is a lovely pool we used every day. Our teenagers played football and there is a table for ping-pong, which was in almost continual use. The gorgeous beach Praia da Maca is only a 15 min walk away, and there is a supermarked in Colares, a 3 minute drive with the car. I absolutely recommend to bring a car! There endless possibilties for excursions nearby, here are some of the things we did: sightseeing at the castles of Sintra, rock climbing in Sintra, swimming and eating out in Cascais, visiting Lisbon Zoo and the aquarium, shopping at Colombo shopping center, excursion to Cabo da Roca and Praia da Ursa, walking on the beaches and cliffs nearby. The beaches in this area are spectacular! Mr. Uva, the proprietor, is very friendly and helpful and always answers the phone or messages immediately. I can really recommend vacation in those beautiful surroundings!

Good house for a two weeks vacation with a bigger family. Room for 6 adults and 4 kids. Several castles, restaurants, palaces and beautiful beaches within driving distance (10 - 20 min.) Ocean a bit chilly, but close to lisbon (40 min.). Car or scooter needed.
Kitchen and electronical devices could be renewed in the time to come. 4 baths with solid quality. Easy and supportive communication with the landlord.
"Gerne wieder einmal!"

What a fantastic house. In amongst the pine trees with a huge garden. The owners where very attentive and welcoming. We went in November but had great weather and got the two wood fires going each evening.The house is bigger than it looks from the outside. Easily big enough for two families with lots of kids. The gravel road is fine for a normal car. Come in from the correct end and its not far. If you don't know the area use a GPS and you will be fine. Great things to see in Sintra which is not far away. Lovely beaches and restaurants only a few minutes away. Great. (Try Buzio Cafe in Praia Das Macas and in Colares - Restaurant Colares Velho. Avoid the seafood restaurant at the far end of Plaia Grande though)

We really enjoyed our stay in this home. There's lots of room and the pool was fantastic! Very close to a market, butcher, bank, little cafes and restaurants. It's about a 7 minute drive from the beach. At first we thought it was a little remote but after being tourists all day, it was so nice to come back to quiet and just sit and relax by the pool. We had a fire every night. Just a word of warning... this house is on an unpaved, dirt road with big holes and ruts. You will wonder where the heck you are going but it really is worth it. Ask for very detailed instructions from the owner as to where to find the house. We didn't and it took us a while. Bring a GPS if you have one. Couple of things that would make it more comfortable is a newer couch. The one they have is quite lumpy and not at all comfortable. Since there were only 3 of us, we just sat in the armchairs but for a big group, it wouldn't work at all. Also, a 4 slice toaster would be handy. With 3, it wasn't so bad but I can just imagine how slow the process of making toast would be at breakfast time if there were 10 people. It was all pretty clean. Found some cobwebs on the sofa but I think we were the first renters of the season. And the dishes smelled a little musty but I think that was because they sat in the wooden hutch for a while. Nothing a run through the dishwasher didn't fix. I would definitely stay here again.
