Romantic Villa w / patio and pool, complete privacy

Lovely and very personnel accomodation in the landscape.

We loved our 12 days at this beautiful home! Rui and Mila were terrific! Great communication. The home had everything we needed and more. Beautifully decorated. Enjoyed the garden and neighborhood. We are looking forward to returning!

We greatly enjoyed our stay in this nice lovely cottage with its unique rural style and design. The host is extremely friendly and always helping with any requests. The welcome basket is absolutely amazing – we just loved to reenergise ourselves after a long trip with the delicious local treats. The area around is nice and calm – perfect for a family get away and taste the Portuguese style. We found everything we may need for a comfortable stay. Highly recommend.

Relaxing and very friendly hosts, we had a great time!

I and my wife and friends went to “Jardim Secreto” ( Secret Garden)! It’s a surprising magic place, a wonderful house whose kind and nice owners were waiting for us! They’re really cool! I remember we were very tired and starved but I think they guessed it: in the kitchen there was some bread, wine, fruit juices, milk, cheese… as if we were their family who was just coming! So, as soon as we arrived…we felt at home. The house itself was beautiful, amazing and welcoming! It had everything we need to spend some relaxing times: dvds, network, traditional games, swimming pool, among other offers. It was decorated in a romantic style and its details were in every corner of the house what made us feel that love was on the air… We stayed in the upstairs bedroom from where we could enjoy the view over the old village: a typical beautiful place with many stone walls and old streets, some of them crossing the fields where we walked and admired the nature. In the charming courtyard there were many plants surrounding the swimming pool where we plunged after taking relaxing sunbaths. The kitchen was well furnished, we had everything we needed to cook. Rui and Mila (the owners) had let some goods to us (precious!) The locals’ sympathy touched us, too. The butcher and the marketers were especially nice. We enjoyed also the beaches which are near the village (Paimogo and Baleal are the best) and the good dinners of fish in Peniche will remain in our minds. I’m sure of it because the fish was the tastiest we had ever eaten. What can we say: it’s a house that we recommend to every guy who likes a quiet and charming place for enjoying all the seasons of the year and where we’ll come back soon. Ok, Rui and Mila? Thanks again for your kindness, we’ll keep in touch. I’ll send you some of the pictures I took at your “ Secret Garden” . Kind regards Joseph

Situated in the smalltown village of Reguengo Grande you will find the lovely cottage Jardim Secreto. A very warm welcome of the owners Rui and Mila make you feel at home immediatly; a fruit basket, bread and some local delicacies and drinks as a welcome gift! Wow! They took the time to give sightseeing tips. The house itself is well equipped with everything you need. ( linen change and pool cleaning weekly!) Privacy guaranteed! A rental car is necessary, but the beautiful villages of eg, Obidos, Caldas da Rainha and beaches are nearby. Our 5 year old daughter enjoyed the swimmingpool every day.(children can play safe in the garden) So ..we have spent a lovely 2 week holiday in 'the Secret Garden'!....... Thank you Rui and Mila for your hospitality!

Beautiful house and cozy with an amazing decoration. The hosts Rui and Mila always available and very friendly. A spectacular weather that allowed us to know the wonderful beaches around, particularly the beach baleal where children had fun to surf. We loved visiting Obidos and Berlenga Island. We came on the recommendation of our friends and we will also recommend. We'll be back for a bigger vacation. See you soon.

A beautiful house to spend a restful holiday in a quiet and romantic environment. The house with stone walls. The weather was not perfect, but even helped because we spent some beautiful night by the fireplace. During the day, with sunshine, is very hot because the yard is very sheltered and sunny. We took a good bath in the pool and patio shower. The village has a bit of everything and the people are very welcoming. Rui and Mila received us with all the affection and we can not forget the fruit, cheese, bread and wine were offered on the first day. A sympathy. The house was equipped with everything we need. We recommend to all who want a good place to relax on holiday. Thank you. Antje VD

We (two couples with three children= stayed a week in May, the house, host and location were great! Beautiful house, everything you could need. Location in a small town, but still a quiet country feel. Close to great hiking trails along coast. Owners very friendly and cooperative, would return anytime and recommend highly.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Secret Garden Cottage in Ruengo Grande. Mila and Rui are perfect hosts who greeted us with a basket of fruits, bread, cheese and a bottle of wine. While the weather wasn't accommodating the house didn't leave anything to be desired. We loved cuddling up in front of the blazing fire place with a glass of wine (which was swiftly and constantly refilled). The house itself is tastefully decorated and I just love it's quirky features and exposed stone walls. It is only a short 10 minute ride to the beach (we went frequently to Seixal) as well as to Obidos. We also did day trips to Lisbon and Sintra which were just an hour down the road (note that there's toll on the motorway; we paid 4.85 EUR and 4.90 EUR each way). To sum it up: We'll definitely be back. Thanks, Mila and Rui, for a lovely stay in your Secret Garden Cottage. :)
