La maison est parfaite car beaucoup d espace et idéale avec les enfants !! Gros bémol sur la propreté de certaine pièce de la maison et la vaisselle. Les chiens aux alentours n arrêtent pas d aboyer et nous ont réveillé tous les matins bien dommage. Sinon le cadre est juste magnifique les extérieurs sont très propres et bien entretenu

Maison très agréable, spacieuse, très bien équipée avec beau jardin et piscine. Personnels de maison très gentils. Quartier agréable, pas trop loin de la ville… seul point noir les chiens très nombreux et bruyants de tout le voisinage..

The situation of the house is good with a lovely outlook/view. It is in a semi-urban location but is totally private and not overlooked at all. It is blessed with a wonderful pool and had plenty of private open space and a very good patio having blinds to provide some shade. Some of the garden furniture is old and needs replacing. The house is huge and we made little use of it as the weather was good. The interior is looking a somewhat tired. The electrics are a little worrying – light switches would work some of the time but not at others. The kitchen is surprisingly small, particularly having regard to the size of the house. The mosquitoes were a problem at the time of our visit and it would have been helpful to have been warned in advance.

Toute la famille, cinq petits-enfants, cinq enfants et belles-filles, venait au Portugal pour fêter les 70 ans de la grand-mère. Nous avons passé un séjour formidable dans la maison de Mark où nous nous sentions comme chez nous. Maison spacieuse et joliment meublée où chaque famille a pu trouver une autonomie qui lui permettait de retrouver les autres avec plaisir. L'environnement (naturel et bâti) est exceptionnel. Chacun était très heureux de cette fête familiale dans un cadre aussi agréable et propice à la vie commune. Une mention particulière pour l'accueil donné par Rui et Aurora au nom de Mark.

Geräumige, gemütliche Villa in toller Lage nur ein paar Kilometer vom Atlantik und von Sintra entfernt.

Loved the location of this villa. Close to Sintra and the sea. Easy access via Sintra to Lisbon. Beautiful outside space

We needed a base around Sintra for 6 x Adults and 7 x children. Joy, myself (Richard), Laura & Donna ( our Daughters) had spent 2 1/2 years on the Estoril coast back in 1989-1991, whilst I served at the NATO Base in Oeriras. Casa do Cedro reminded us all, a lot, of our last bungalow home we rented in Linho back then? Full of Portuguese character, we all felt instantly At Home their. We all loved our stay and our 7 x grandchildren (Harvey, Evan, Daisy, Imogen, William, Daniel & Esmee.) Really loved the Pool which was the Firm Favourite part of the Villa with them! Many thanks for the use of your Families Villa Mark. A Lovely Place in a Lovely part of Sintra, perfect for our needs.

Belle propriété avec tout le nécessaire pour des vacances en famille nombreuse. Jardin très agréable, avec la piscine et une grande terrasse. Météo locale de Sintra souvent nuageuse ne permettant pas de profiter pleinement de la piscine.

We spent in the villa whole week in July. The house is very spacious, with big outside area. We travel with 4 families, 14 people in total. House is spacious enough for this group of people, however two one bedroom was quite claustrophobic. All devices worked fine, villa is clean and well maintained. The pool area needs some renovations and some additional sunbeds and umbrellas. Astonishing living room with open fireplace and library full of old books, gives the house a spirit which is hard to forget. Located in the small, quiet village, close to Sintra, approx. 25km from Lisbon. Nearest beach is within 20 minutes by car. I strongly recommend the villa for families and pack of friends. Lisbon, Sintra, Cabo da Roca, Cascais, beautiful beaches are within 40 minutes by car, so the place is great starting point for everybody who wants to visit interesting places, not only looking for sun and sand:)

Huis is heel groot, met genoeg slaapkamers en badkamers voor 10 volwassenen. Meubilair en andere inrichting (badkamers, keuken) is aan opknappen toe. Door ontbrekende horren in ramen veel last van muggen. Heel schoon zwembad.

Great location-huge house... Fabulous garden and pool!

The villa is a wonderful place to stay, it is very large and spacious but also has a homely feel to it, especially due to the Portuguese decor and style. The villa is very well equipped and each room is decorated tastefully. The pool was great fun, and we spent the evenings on the veranda. The views are beautiful, we really enjoyed the local village shops and cafes. There is plenty to do in sintra and Lisbon which are both easy to travel to. We also took the old tram to the beach and a scenic bus route to cascais. It was all fabulous

Een prachtig huis, zeer ruim. Er zijn 14 slaapplakken, 1 kamer is wat kleiner, maar twee pubermeidenhebben hier heerlijk geslapen, ze kozen zelf voor het knusse kamertje. De tuin is prachtig en lekker ruim. Contact met eigenaren is prima. Vooraf veel informatie over het huis, de omgeving, bezienswaardigheden. Het ligt centraal, vlak bij Sintra, heel touristisch. Vlak bii paleizen met prachtige tuinen. Deze zijn goed te bezoeken en ' s avonds verlicht. Prachtig uitzicht vanuit het huis op de heuvels van Sintra. Lissabon is inderdaad een half uur, de luchthaven 3 kwartier. T was even zoeken naar een supermarkt, maar een grote lidl op een kwartiertje rijden. In het dorp zijn 2 kleine supermarktjes. Aan de buitenkant zou je dat niet denken, je rijdt er zo langs. In het huis is alles ruim voldoende aanwezig. Fijn met een grote groep dat je niet elk kopje gelijk weer moet afwassen. Veel pannen, de wereld aan bakjes, schalen. De koelkast was kapot, maar een belletje naar de eigenaar en toen we thuis kwamen stond er een ander. De plek is echt prachtig! Kortom een echte aanrader!

Wij zijn net terug van een heerlijke week Portugal, wat een fantastisch huis en wat een prachtige omgeving. Het uitzicht is schitterend. Sintra is heel touristisch, het dorpje zelf niet, maar is wel pittoresk. Lissabon is goed te bereiken en je bent met een kwartiertje op prachtisge stranden. De eigenaar geeft uitgebreide informatie over het huis, de omgeving, wandelroutes, restaurants enz, vooraf. De communicatie verloopt zeer prettig. Het huis is heel authentiek ingericht, een echt familiehuis. Handdoeken zijn inbegrepen, je kunt er prima een was doen. De koelkast deed het niet, maar dit werd snel opgelost. Een telefoontje en het was geregeld. Wij waren met 12 personen, waaronder 4 jongere kinderen en 4 pubers. Boven is inderdaad een wat kleiner kamertje, maar daar hebben 2 puber meiden heerlijk geslapen. Er wordt schoongemaakt, zelfs de afwas werd nog even meegenomen, zonder dat het storend was. Lois komt elke dag het zwembad schoonmaken, maar ook hier merk je weinig van. De tuinman heeft echt eer van zijn werk, dentuin ziet er prachtig uit. Er staan bbq die je mag gebruiken, er ligt hout voor de haarden, ook dit mag je zo pakken. Kortom heel gastvrij! Wij kunnen iedereen dit huis aanraden!

Compleet ingericht familiehuis. Heel veel ruimte. Afmetingen huis ca. 25 meter breed en ca. 10 meter diep. Twee verdiepingen. Eén slaapvertrek op de bovenverdieping vonden wij een beetje benauwd. Wij, één familie, 11 volwassenen. In ieder geval wat lichaamsgrootte betreft. Was echter met wat improviseren goed op te lossen. Bij aankomst heel vriendelijke ontvangst door beheerder. Heel behulpzaam. Prachtige ligging met uitzicht op het paleis van Sintra, 's avonds mooi verlicht. Goede uitvalbasis voor trips in de omgeving. Auto zeker aan te raden. En, heel belangrijk, voorafgaand aan ons verblijf, heel prettig contact met de eigenaar.

We had been let down by a previous owner in a previous booking and 3 months before we were due to go we were in a panic! We could not have been helped more by the honour Mark who was brilliant throughout the process.....we rent a lot and I have never had such a comprehensive list of information for staying at this villa....amazing! The key collection process was efficient and simple. It took 20 mins just to be shown around! Very spacious villa is an understatement. We were a group of 10 and it had everything we needed and we never felt under each others feet. The view is just stunning. The location is brilliant. 10 minutes to Sintra, which also has a fast train to Lisbon. Hypermarket 15 mins away. 10 mins from 2 lovely beaches, 25 minutes from Cascais. Lisbon airport an easy 30 mins.

Great house with lovely views. We had a very comfortable stay. Lots of great things to look at nearby and great beaches. We made full use of the swimming pool and spent a lot of time on the terrace admiring the surroundings.

Casa do Cedro is quite as lovely as it looks. It is wonderfully spacious, comfortable and laid out and furnished with considerable style. While it can easily accomodate the full complement of 12, it is not just one big open plan space, and so is perfectly intimate for a smaller number. It is lovely spilling out from the kitchen onto the terrace, wandering down to the pool when it is hot, and retreating to the classically decorated sitting room.

From the moment we arrived we felt at home. The property was immaculate but not sterile like so many rental properties can be, with more than enough space for a large party of us and wonderful views over the mountains. Although we whiled away many days playing badminton in the garden, by the pool or lunches on the beautiful terrace when we did decide to venture out we found that there was lots to do within easy reach. The secluded 'beach of the bear' priya de orsa, was one of our favourites though there are also larger beaches with restaurants serving wonderful seafood and cervejas. I would highly recommend this property; I can't wait to go back!

We had a great time at this lovely villa with its excellent facilities. There was plenty to do in the vicinity, including sightseeing some of the lovely old villages and palaces, or visits to the spectacular coast, but we spent a lot of time at the property just chilling out and enjoying what the villa offers, particularly the pool and the garden. The children loved it, and were happy to play indoors on the odd occasion the weather kept us in. We can't wait to go back!

We had a fantastic time a this amazing villa. Loved sitting on the terrace with beautiful mountain views, Pena Palace visible on one peak. Could have sat there all day with a good book whilst watching the kids play in the pool and garden. Plenty of space, lots of communal rooms, even a ping pong room upstairs. The nearby beach was great, especially enjoyed lunch at the beach bar. The cool night breezes made it easy to sleep.The villa is unique, full of lovely furniture and objects making it very homely and relaxing. Lisbon is just down the road and we spent a day wandering it's ornate, historic streets not to mention the shops. We went with another family and had a thoroughly enjoyable time. We've been twice, so far......
