About this villa rental

Beyond an old iron gate, a private south-facing courtyard offers shade from its trees to arriving soujourners. The murmur of water that runs in an old stone tank coaxes guests into the main salon of a centuries-old village house - a restored wine cellar where people used to bring their grapes to turn into wine. This alchemic spirit still lives in the house. Inside, ancestral furniture is mixed with modern pieces, making for contemporary functionality while keeping the integrity of the place alive. The living-room opens out onto a cozy porch on the north side of the house. The Sun beams play upon the natural stone and wood structure, casting shadows at different hours of the day. The outdoor surrounds are inviting as the quaint interior. You can see the ever changing Sintra mountains in the distance. One can find inspiration in the somewhat monastic and contemplative atmosphere of the space.

Beautiful gardens to enjoy in front and back, spacious rooms. Close to many sites, yet not in the city. Grocery store close however a but car is required. Hosts were very gracious and close by. Library, piano and harp adorn this stone decor. Truly worth the stay.

We stayed here for 4 nights at the beginning of our Portugal vacation. The home was very comfortable and well situated for day trips to Sintra, Cascais, and other surrounding areas, and the garden and patio outside were a pleasant retreat from the tourist spots we visited. There are supermarkets nearby with everything we needed during our stay.

We had 2 weeks enjoyable weeks here, despite the rain, and appreciated the space , the fireplace, the washer and dryer( rare in Europe) and our host. A car is essential as the village has no amenities.

We had a lovely stay in Sofia’s place. Good communication and responsive to all our needs and questions. The house itself is a Portugese gem, very stylish furnished and all kinds of sitting areas to hang out. The outside areas we did not use at all since the weather was not that great, but I can imagine it will be just as comfortable in the summertime. We were very happy with the fireplace which we used almost every evening. The only downside of this location was the neighbors dog which barked a lot. It is really sad to see how the Portugese handle their dogs, I would bark all day to draw some attention. But overall we had a very satisfying stay! Thanks again Sofia!

What an absolute gem this place is.The photos speak for themselves; the house and gardens really are as beautiful as they look. it's like having your own private botanical garden for 4 days. The work that has clearly gone in to them is mightily impressive and was greatly appreciated. Sofia is lovely. There was not a booking either side of our arrival and departure dates so she was very flexible with check in and out which we really appreciated.

We really enjoyed this home. It oozes atmosphere and comfort and was a pleasure to spend time in. The garden is a tranquil retreat. It is located in a lovely area convenient to the local villages and to Sintra. The information provided on local restaurants, supermarkets etc is comprehensive and we would not have discovered them on our own. We had our own car. Sofia is a terrific host.

Truly a remarkable stay. Sofia has done an amazing job inside and out of this historic home. It is evident throughout that she has a special eye for how elements and color can work together. Very unique. Extremely relaxing. A great find for sure. The colorful blooming landscape variety all around the house was a particularly nice treat. We felt like we were hanging out in a private arboretum. Bonus points for that! It’s perfectly located about halfway between Sintra and the beach communities to the west. Short drives. Fantastic host too. We loved it all!

A very nice house in a village outside of Lisbon near Sintra. The house was very clean, with 2 good size bedrooms downstairs and one upstairs. The lounge area was very comfortable. The kitchen is a bit small but had everything we needed. The key feature of the house is that its cool. Even in April it was quite hot outside so it is a bit of an oasis inside, particularly if coming back from the city. The village has a couple of restaurants but no shops so its 5 mins by car to the nearest small supermarket. A car is essential for the area anyway. Our host Sofia lives next door and was super helpful and speaks good English, as does everyone in fact. Theres parking directly outside the house and its about 35 mins drive from the airport so pretty handy really. And you can drive to the beach in less than 10 mins. So all in all a very pleasant stay.

If you really study the images for this listing you know it’s a special place. Sofia has imbued her home with wonderful art and furnishings that will make you feel at home. There are a couple of marvelous outdoor spaces with a profusion of landscaping. Sofia and her husband are next door so readily available if you need anything. Nafarros is the neighborhood you are in so you are close to Sintra which has a wealth of historical sights and Lisbon is an easy 40 minute train ride for all there is to see there. Going west from the rental there are lots of beaches and small villages to explore. You hardly have time to enjoy Sofia’s place!

Our family of four truly loved staying at historic Stone & Cal. The home was comfortable and had everything we needed for our 8-day stay. We especially loved the outdoor areas and spent lots of time relaxing in both the front courtyard and in the rear seating area overlooking Sofia's lovely yard. Sofia is such a gracious host and we enjoyed getting to know her. She was very responsive to our needs and her extra touches ensured that we had all that we needed for a great visit. The location of the home is very convenient to all the sights in Sintra (we suggest taking an Uber to avoid the frustration of driving and parking in congested Sintra) plus very near a number of gorgeous beaches. Colares is a nice stop for groceries, a brewery, etc. We also appreciated the daily outdoor visits from the neighbor's sweet orange cat and viewing Sofia's chickens from a distance. Thank you, Sofia, for the care you take in ensuring that your guests are well taken care of and happy! You helped make our vacation memorable!

This spacious, thoughtful accommodation was perfect for our family reunion. Sofia is a gracious, available host. We found this property to be stunningly beautiful with incredible views, and the perfect spot for our trip of 4-5 days - you can easily access any point of interest for sightseeing or the less-touristy attractions as well. Simply gorgeous! We highly recommend this property and host :)

The property that we rented was very pleasant Towels and sheets were clean and the beds were comfortable. We were impressed with the art work on the walls and also the design of the house. There were many interesting layers to the house as well as a front and back courtyard. Sofia was an excellent host and was always available if needed ere are quite a few steps in the house so I would not recommend this rental for anyone that has trouble walking. I would think kids would love all the different areas. The kitchen was well stocked with glasses, silverware etc and all appliances worked well. The only suggestion I would make is to get one of those coffee makers that uses the small cups for a cup of coffee or espresso. There is a plunger glass coffee maker but I didn't like dealing with the coffee grounds. We wound up drinking tea which suited us fine.

The property was an absolute oasis. The house stays good during the warm days without any fans or AC. The outdoor wading pool was perfect as collection point during happy hour. We even played the perfectly tuned piano. We discovered a route between the property that really made all the difference in the world to use the more straight road which buses travel as well.

We just spent 8 days in this charming home in Sintra. Lots of character, comfortable areas to gather with our family, several outdoor eating options—always surrounded by beautiful gardens. Lovely atmosphere and close to beaches, palaces, and breathtaking drives along the coast. Comfortable beds, well equipped kitchen, and Sofia lives right next door. A wonderful spot for a vacation with family or friends.

Wunderschönes Haus & Garten

Wunderschönes Haus & Garten

Sowohl das Haus als auch der Garten sind mit äußerst viel Sorgfalt und Liebe zum Detail gestaltet. Wir haben eine Woche dort verbracht und deutlich weniger unternommen, als wir uns vorgenommen hatten, statt dessen haben wir einfach nur das Haus und den Garten genossen. Die Lage ist sehr gut, man ist mit dem Auto innerhalb von 10 - 20 Minuten an schönen Atlantik Stränden, in Sintra und bei den (vielen) Sehenswürdigkeiten in der Nähe. Sofia war bei all unseren Fragen und Wünschen äußerst hilfreich und entgegenkommend, auch die Restaurantempfehlungen waren hervorragend!

Von außen unscheinbar, öffnet sich nach Innen ein wahres Schmuckstück. Sofia unsere Gastgeberin hat es mit ganz viel Liebe gestaltet. Wir wurden sehr herzlich von Ihr empfangen und umsorgt. Sie sorgte mit Ihrer freundlichen Art dafür, dass wir uns sofort zu Hause gefühlt haben. Das Haus selbst war wunderschön. In warmen Farben gehalten und von Sofia künstlerisch ausgestaltet war es einfach die Wucht. Wir sind uns sicher dass wir wiederkommen werden

Perfect getaway

Perfect getaway

We spent 3 rainy days there with friends and loved it. The fireplace was lovely, the mattresses comfortable, no humidity smell (a rarity in Portugal). We will go back with some sun to enjoy the splendid garden, pergola and mini pool. Sofia made her best to accomodate for the checkin/out. Bonus for the well-equipped kitchen, you can really cook elaborated meals for 5 people and more.

Sofia's house is really spectacular. We had a beautiful vacation. Sofia was always available for any need, especially in these difficult times of covid. We enjoyed delicious lunches with fresh food from the area, walks, the small pool in the garden. The fireplace, and a beautiful piano in the living room. It was an idyllic vacation. We had problems with flights from NY, but Sofia was very willing to help us. Highly recommended.

This is a super oasis ! Very near Sintra yet away from the hustle and bustle. Quiet street, parking in front... behind the gate lies a beautiful property within the garden. Lovely original art and old stone floors with cozy places to sit create a great escape for a weary traveller. Sofia, the owner is nearby and very helpful for anything you might need. It’s a beautiful place to unwind and relax! Barbara

Una casa muy tranquila que inspira

La casa es aún más bonita que en las fotografías: interior espacioso, acogedor, familiar y muy bien equipado; un jardín agradable y fresco donde comer, tomar el café y hacer largas siestas. La situación también es ideal: a pesar de la cercanía de Sintra, la zona es muy tranquila, con pueblos encantadores y estupendas playas poco frecuentadas. Nuestra amfitriona Sofía ha sido en todo momento muy amable y cercana, y sus indicaciones muy acertadas. Una experiencia excelente en todos los sentidos!
