About this villa rental
Featuring a unique décor, the Machado estate is a large holiday property located in Pinhal dos Frades, near Sesimbra, Herdade da Aroeira golf and Fonte da Telha-Meco 20km long sandy beach. The estate is by itself a small oasis, hiding within an vast Mediterranean Pine forest, and accessed via a quiet 450 metre long dirt road (although posing absolutely no issue for any type of vehicle).
This property featured in a decoration magazine; such exquisite properties are rarely available for short term rental.
The holiday estate is composed of north and south wings and a pool house, organised around an exotic decked heated (subject to confirmation) swimming pool, and surrounded by immaculate gardens. The estate spreads over 5000m2, and affords total privacy to its guests. The view of the beautiful green surroundings can be enjoyed from most rooms via large French doors.
Each wing has been carefully designed to highest standards, and boasts designer details and fittings throughout. Nothing about Machado Estate can be defined as average.
There are three large living areas, one in each wing, fitted with wide flat screen TV sets with cable TV, DVD player, hi-fi stereo systems and air conditioning. There is also a formal dining room, sitting 16 people, in the south wing of the house.
The estate boasts two fully equipped modern kitchens: one in the north wing and the other in the south wing, for added comfort of guests. Each kitchen has a open-plan American style design, and is fitted to the highest standards.
There are six suites at the Machado Estate, and sleeping facilities for up to 14 people. Each suite opens onto the gardens and terraces via large French doors with wooden shutters, and features unique designer details, such as a jacuzzi hot tub, a double walk-in shower room, an iPod docking station or a hi-fi stereo system. As standard, each suite boasts comfortable sitting areas, air-conditioning and a flat screen TV set.
Outside, the large 5000m2 garden is thoroughly kept, boasting many special corners and sun traps during day, and exceptional lounging areas after dusk, each lit with extreme care and attention to detail. The large free-form 12*7m swimming pool will provide hours of relaxation and fun (supplement applies for water heating). The pool area is equipped with parasols, deckchairs, outdoor shower, and lounging areas. The pool itself has a second Jacuzzi area.
The large lawn area at the back of the main house is an ideal games area, and the estate has its own sports and activity fittings.
Hidden within the private gardens, the lake is among the most special features of this exquisite estate, and makes you feel truly privileged. Over an elegant and modern wooden structure, a Nikki Beach-style bar and lounge is the perfect setting for a night cap.
The house is decorated to high standards yet blending in perfectly with the relaxed atmosphere of the countryside which surrounds it. Satellite TV with international channels, internet access, air-conditioning and stereo system enhance your enjoyment, in most rooms.
For entertainment of guests, the Machado Estate Holiday Villa also boasts two additional bar areas: the club in the south wing (which apart from the music gear, the tables and the glitter ball also has a pool table and other games), and the barbecue area. Each of the bars is fully equipped with fridges and cutlery.
There are magnificent beaches and sights nearby, but you will find it hard to leave the villa.
Price includes cleaning service three times a week.
Please note: the swimming pool is easily heated up to 26ºC, for as long as the outdoor temperature is not too low, as the swimming pool is not covered. Water temperature may vary in Spring and Autumn. Supplement applies. - Service subject to confirmation

The property is great. Plenty of amenities and a large yard great for kids or friends looking to play lawn sports or run around. The pool is nice and a great way to spend the day.
All of the bathrooms are clean and plenty of towels are available.
The location is a little outside of the city along a dirt road. It’s about 20- 25 minutes into Lisbon with no traffic, 35-40 minutes with traffic. There are plenty of Ubers available though (wait 5-10 minutes).
Candidly it’s an excellent spot if you’re a large group.
Thank you for hosting us.

We loved our stay here! It was perfect for a large family group as we all had our own space but also room to come together outdoors or in one of the lounge or dining areas. And having a games room was fun! Very clean and comfortable and well furnished. Only a 30-40 minute drive into Lisbon but also within half an hour of Sesimbra, TimeOut Market etc.

Property is really great! You have to go past some places that aren't, with trash all over the street but when the gates open, you are transcendend into another world. My only issue was the hot tub. That was one thing that we required in finding a place. I should have found a place with a stand alone hot tub with a lid. This tub is part of the pool, which all has to be heated. It would never have reached hot even if it was on all day 24 hours a day. Management was great for communicating once we arrived via What's App but beforehand it was difficult. Overall the house was a great place to stay.

It’s rather rare that a rented house surprises you as even better than the picture on the website. But this house did. It’s cool decorated and well functioning.
It’s situated close to the main road that leads directly to Lisboa, but not so close that you can hear any noise from the road.
We had a wonderful stay.

This place is amazing and has it all. We brought our five children and their spouses for a vacation in Portugal. This was our first stop for four days. Six beautiful rooms to accommodate the 12 of us. Two kitchens and a pool, what more could you ask for?
Our host was very nice and helpful. Download WhatsApp because that is how everyone communicates.
We loved the eclectic art throughout the compound.
As you drive to this place you wonder if you have the correct address and then the gate opens into an oasis.
It is truly an amazing place.

The villa is great, spacious, self-contained rooms, with a clubhouse and a pool which we requested to be heated at night, the lighting makes the villa looks gorgeous. we had a wonderful time, We even had disco lights for the clubhouse. It made our stay memorable. I highly recommend it.

We were a large group of friends staying and the villa was perfect for us! It is exactly as the pictures, gorgeous garden and pool. Everything is really well kept. There are two kitchens, BBQ, all rooms are en-suite so perfect for large groups! We had the best time and the hosts are super helpful and really welcoming! Everyone in the group was raving about the experience and we would definitely stay again!

Location not to far from the city and from the beach. Close to a shopping mall for groceries or order online. Halger assisted with getting set up with online shopping. We had @chef Adrien and his lovely wife Maria for the 3 nights we were there and what a great chef he was. Those nights we were out sight seeing so coming home to dinner prepared was a treat. The rest of the night we prepared dinner ourselves.The villa had everything we need. Having house keeping was a plus as none of us was interested in cleaning on our holidays!!!
Great holiday.

I went there with 13 of my friends from school! It was the perfect place for us. Close enough to the city to easily travel back an forth but also in a quiet area. The hosts were amazing and uncomplicated. I can only recommend staying here.
