The Villa was absolutely amazing, better than the pictures! We had a group of 7 adults and 3 kids. Everyone had enough space and the kitchen was well equipped with plenty of tablewares for everyone. The outside area had a large dining table and the pool area was everyone's favourite! Eventhough the pool was deep, kids loved it. We had two cars so it was easy to go to bigger supermarket's that could be found within few kilometres. Also the restautants and the beach are close with the car. The castle in the hill is really near, only five minutes walk and has a view all the way to Lisbon and off course Sesimbra and the sea. The Villa was a perfect choice for us and Jose was super nice host and helped with every question. Really recommed this place!

We have been renting holiday houses all over Europe for 15 years but Jose is definitely the best host we have met during this years. The property is as described on the website and work perfectly for 9 people. You can reach Sesimbra in 15 min walk, downhill, but we recommend taxi or Uber back (5 Euro). Plenty of good restaurants, but stick to the fish, that’s on a high level.

We stayed 10 days at Vila branco do Castelo- 2 families (4 grown-ups and 5 children). The house is better than the pictures show, and the pool is larger (not often to be that positively surprised). The house is situated in a good walking distanse to the Sesimbra beaches, and the bakery is only 2 minutes walking from the house. Jose is helpful, kind and an excellent host! We got a lot of good advizes on where to go and what to do. We will definetly recommend this hoilday house- it has everything!!

The property is absolutely lovely, every bit as nice as the pictures suggest. We wanted a peaceful and relaxing holiday and this was the perfect place for it. The backdrop of the castle made it particularly picturesque and proximity to the beaches and national park only a few miles away all made for a lovely experience. Jose, our host could not have been more helpful, from meeting us and providing food and wine on arrival to top tips on local restaurants and where to sight see, he was a star ! Highly highly recommended !

Being a rental home owner myself I appreciate when a home is prepaired properly for guests. Jose has a beautiful home and I would recommend to anyone. Franco.

Very nice, open space, comfortable house equipped with everything you might need. Beautiful garden and pool. Very good location to explore everything around, still in a quiet and cozy environment. The service provided by the owner was excellent. We enjoyed a lot our stay there.

We had a week in the house and was met by a very nice host, Jose, when we arrived. We were a couple of hours delayed, but he was living just near the house, so I texted him just some minutes before we arrived, and he greeted us with a happy smile. Jose had arranged some local bread and cheese for us – and that was welcoming after a long traveling day. The villa is a lovely place, but unfortunately, we had a week of cold weather, so we didn’t have the opportunity to use the pool area as much we would had liked. The pool was natural chlorine (like saltwater) and that was quite nice instead of normal chlorine, so I can definitely recommend this. The Villa had all we needed even an A/C in every room, although what was not used that much because of the cold weather. Jose came by the house at couple of times to clean the pool and to check if there was anything he could do for us. He was very talkative when I asked for local thing and local restaurant, unfortunately we were not able to visit the restaurant he recommended, be course of the steep roads and no parking nearby. Unless you are a hiking type, you need a car to go sightseeing, and note that the local roads can be steep – I would not be happy to drive in wet and slippery conditions in the town. Also note, this is not at tourist area. So, if you are looking for al lot of tourist shops and bars, this is not the area.

We stayed for a week in late September, and found the villa perfect for our needs. Our very helpful host, Jose, provided every amenity and even lots of local produce to welcome us. The villa has wonderfully comfortable beds and lovely clean bathrooms. The pool is superb and very clean and there are enough loungers for everyone. A toilet and the washing machine are on the same level, with a place to dry clothes etc. The barbeque area is great, and there was enough charcoal for the first night - we cooked outside a lot. The villa is near enough to Sesimbra town to walk if necessary, and also within walking distance of the castle - a superb spot to enjoy wide views of the whole area (including the villa!)There is a handy and excellent cafe and pastelaria at the top of the road for bread, croissants and of course, the best Portuguese custard tarts! All in all, it is a brilliant place to stay. As we were attending a local wedding, only some of us got the chance to go surfing further up the coast, and we didn't have time to try out the diving or the kayaking, both of which are on offer in Sesimbra. It's also close enough to Lisboa to take a day trip and explore. We'll have to come back - and will be happy to stay at this lovely villa again. Thanks, Jose.
