A 3 Storey Country House Nestled in 10 Hectares of Woodland

Marta could not have been more helpful. Survived the floods on the roads and falling trees so will have to come and stay in September next time but thoroughly enjoyed our stay. What a gorgeous location!

We noticed a review that described the Villa as a Fairytale which perfectly sums up the location, atmosphere and setting. Stunning views and everything that you could need was provided in the villa. The villa itself is beautifully furnished and beds very comfortable. Although isolated, it is a fairly easy walk into Sintra and the medieval pub at the end of the top drive is good fun. Cristina could not have been more helpful with suggestions and recommendations and was very communicative throughout. Welcoming, peaceful and our favourite stay yet! Pool great and warmed up a treat in the Summer sun!

We had the privilege to enjoy the unique experience of living in this house for 7 days and nights. Peaceful and extremely beautiful, standing on a high hill with breathtaking views everywhere you look. Cristina is such a wonderful host. She met us and showed us around the property and the house. Upon our arrival we were treated with delicious quiche, local cheese, and wine. All the necessary basic produce was already in the fridge , so we didn't have to run to the store right after the arrival. We were worried about the house not having air conditioner, but we didn't really need it. We were sleeping with open windows and enjoyed fresh , clean outside air. Beds were super comfortable. The location of the house is superb. Imagine living in absolutely secluded area, while being just next to the center of Sintra . It is located within walking distance to Regaleira. The location also allowed us to be first in line to enter the Penna Palace. And imagine after each busy day we had the opportunity to jump into our privet pool. Great experience at this magical place!

We and our friends spent 9 enjoyable days here. We have been many other places but this is without question the most beautiful place you can find. The property is huge and you can easily spent a couple of hours walking around without leaving the property. Very friendly owners and good service. Certainly highly recommendable.

Two couples shared this home for almost a week. We loved everything. We enjoyed using this as a base for exploring Lisbon, walking through Sintra and usiting nearby beaches. Best memories will be sitting under the arbor, sipping wine, eating local cheese and looking out over a very private forested hillside. For us, a car was somewhat of a necessity. But I would stay here again anytime. Fabulous!

If you are looking for peace and quiet this is the place for you! The house is surrounded by acres of forest and is very secluded. We used the house as a base to explore Sintra and Lisbon which are both a short drive away. There is a fantastic dining area just outside the front door overlooking the forest. The beds were very comfortable and the house has just about everything you need. The host made us feel very welcome and went out of their way to make our arrival special. The only thing that might be a problem for some people are the stairs. They are quite steep and might not be suitable for people with mobility issues. We had a very enjoyable stay.

Quinta da Boica is like something out of a fairytale. Perched on a steep hillside in its own old growth forest, it’s an oasis from the crowds in Sintra, but still within walking distance of the town and attractions. The owners are gracious, excellent hosts and the warmth and comfort of their family home is immediately apparent. It is from another age, so don’t expect the glitter of a 5 star hotel, but if you’d like an authentic hideaway with incredible views and a spring fed pool, the Quinta da Boica is for you.

Cristina met us at a nearby restaurant the day of check-in to show us the best way to get to the home and walk us through some tips and tricks of the house and gave us pointers about the area. We arrived later in the afternoon and she was even kind enough to leave us some homemade dinner and snacks so we didn't have to leave the property again. The house and property are absolutely beautiful and serene, a great place to unwind and relax after a busy day sightseeing in Sintra or Lisbon. The location is great; you can easily drive to the coast and beach or hop onto the freeway towards Lisbon. You can even walk into Sintra from the property to avoid traffic and finding parking. The views, particularly at sunset, are stunning, and it was lovely to sit in our private lemon grove or under the gazebo enjoying some wine watching the sun go down. Between the property and Cristina's hospitality, this was the perfect place to spend our honeymoon!

Just a lovely experience from start to finish. Marta met us and told us the history. All good at the house. One point , the drains are a bit slow. Apart from that, heaven on earth.

Ultimate rural relaxation. The host was outstanding.
