About this house rental
We are at the heart of the Arrábida Natural Park, surrounded by a wide variety of lush autochthonous vegetation, flowers and trees, many birds and some wild but friendly animals. Amazing mountain views and just a few minutes short from some of the most beautiful beaches at the blue coast and the Arrábida marine natural reserve. Peacefulness, coziness and an amazing silence, sometimes interrupted by singing birds, as well as an amazing ocean view on the south side of the mountain, will give you a sense of well-being and connectedness with nature.
Quinta da Arrábida is a family project started in the 1980’s by our grandfather. After he passed away, we decided to keep it in the family and expand it as a sustainability tourism project. Most of what exists in the farm was done by him, with an amazing vision about the integration of tourism within the natural park. We feel he was a visionary, and we want to build upon that vision.
The farm has 11 hectares, four houses, a pool, an orchard, a greenhouse and a small animal farm that children can visit and sometimes feed the animals. Many different fruit trees can be found within the area, and season fruit can be hand picked, while wondering through the wild areas and the many paths within . It also has a dense area of pine trees that our daughter Joana likes to call the enchanted hood.
It is a perfect place to rest and connect with nature. But it also provides you some incredible experiences, from food & wine to hiking, biking, diving, sailing or paragliding. Seeing the dinosaur's footprints close to Cabo Espichel, visiting the 16th century Arrábida Monastery or wondering through the many castles around. The Sado estuary is 20 minutes away, where the resident dolphin community often jumps along the boats to greet, or birdwatching on the Tagus and the Sado estuarine areas, where you can find some of the most amazing migrating bird species in Europe.
And then again, if you also want some urban atmosphere, Setúbal is just 20 minutes away, Sesimbra almost the same, Lisbon 45 and Sintra 55.

This is a lovely house presented immaculately with a fabulous pool. The location is rural and charming and the host Joao could not be more helpful.
The local coastline is stunning but beaches, while beautiful, are difficult to access.
Highly recommended for a family of 6+ or as an indulgent stay as a couple.

Fabulous house in a special part of Portugal
We had a lovely time at Quinta da Arrabida. The house, the property, and the area are beautiful. The attention to detail and quality of the appointments in the house are stunning. We would go back in a heartbeat. Given the unusual heat and drought, we were not able to visit all the beaches we had hope to see. That said, the beaches we could access were beautiful and there are plenty of activities in the area. João is a superb host—super helpful with recommendations.
