Beautiful house with original furnishings in a quiet area, with many various sights nearby. Communication (only online) with Antonio was very good. We liked the things to do list!

Overall a very nice stay. Nice sized house with a good layout for a big family. The location was great for exploring the whole area. It is a long walk into Sintra so a ride is pretty much necessary but Ubers are everywhere.

Antonio, the host, was friendly and very helpful. The villa gave us everything we wanted, it is spacious, very clean and extremely well equipped for our 3 generations. We loved the pool, especially the grandchildren who were reluctant to get out! The gardens were beautiful and a great place for hide and seek. It is ideally located for all the Sintra historic sites and the local beaches could be easily reached by car. The lanes and footpaths are great for walking and running, especially if you wanted to leave the car at home. There is a grocery store, cafes and restaurants within easy walking distance and would particularly recommend Cantinho do Picadeiro. We would certainly stay there again.

We stayed comfortably and happily with our family from Germany. The was plenty of space for the eight of us to sleep and in fact, the house sleeps more. The rooms were clean, the pool was nice, and the kitchen well-stocked. A great value for the price we paid, and a short cars-drive away from the local tourist spots.

We had a pleasant stay in Sintra. Despite some bad luck at the start (no running water on the first day due to unexpected maintenance work in the neighbourhood and a broken pool heater), we had a lovely week. The house is a good place from which to organise trips into Sintra, Lisbon and to the beach. Surprisingly few wasps, which was a concern due to allergies. Only real tip for improvement would be the beds, as some of us did not sleep very well on these matrasses.

This is one of the most beautiful properties I have stayed in. The house is equipped with literally everything you need. The Internet speed here is very good. The house was kept extremely clean by the cleaner that came in once a week (very friendly lady). Unfortunately, the issues that we had was that the House was extremely damp. Due to the microclimate of the area. The bed always felt damp and the smell of the damp on the bed was pretty horrific. Truth be said, I don't think anything can be done about this. If you are going to stay at this property, it is critical for you to have your own vehicle or transport. Taxi service will not come out to this area for some reason. It was a nightmare trying to get a taxi. The bus service is good in this area, however, It's always very overcrowded. The tram looked like a wonderful way of seeing the area. But again, the tram was always packed and we could never get on. Another big problem that we faced as a family was the mosquitoes. By the second night, everybody in my family had been stung by mosquitoes. Don't forget to take mosquito repellent and fly spray. The outside areas, specially paving and steps going to up to the House, could have been better maintained. As there was lots of loose tiles. Unfortunately, I did have a bad fall on one of these steps going up to the house. Is best to avoid the gardener I didn't find him friendly and the quality of his work was not very good. Every time he left the swimming pool was covered with debris and grass cutting. Finally. The next door neighbour has three large dogs that continuously bark throughout the whole day. This can be a problem if you're trying to sleep in. Enjoy your trip if you're going there.
