    We had a wonderful stay! The location is very convenient to sights in Sintra, Lisbon airport, and nearby beaches. A rental car is helpful for getting around, but there’s a market and cafes within walking distance. The home was very clean, and our stay even included a mid-week clean by the housekeeper. The weather was very warm during our stay, so the pool was perfect for our family after sightseeing. There are ample sleeping accommodations and several outdoor seating spaces. Our family of 7 had plenty of room to spread out. We would love to stay here again and highly recommend this home.

    Beautiful house with original furnishings in a quiet area, with many various sights nearby. Communication (only online) with Antonio was very good. We liked the things to do list!

    Overall a very nice stay. Nice sized house with a good layout for a big family. The location was great for exploring the whole area. It is a long walk into Sintra so a ride is pretty much necessary but Ubers are everywhere.

    Antonio, the host, was friendly and very helpful. The villa gave us everything we wanted, it is spacious, very clean and extremely well equipped for our 3 generations. We loved the pool, especially the grandchildren who were reluctant to get out! The gardens were beautiful and a great place for hide and seek. It is ideally located for all the Sintra historic sites and the local beaches could be easily reached by car. The lanes and footpaths are great for walking and running, especially if you wanted to leave the car at home. There is a grocery store, cafes and restaurants within easy walking distance and would particularly recommend Cantinho do Picadeiro. We would certainly stay there again.

    We stayed comfortably and happily with our family from Germany. The was plenty of space for the eight of us to sleep and in fact, the house sleeps more. The rooms were clean, the pool was nice, and the kitchen well-stocked. A great value for the price we paid, and a short cars-drive away from the local tourist spots.

    We had a pleasant stay in Sintra. Despite some bad luck at the start (no running water on the first day due to unexpected maintenance work in the neighbourhood and a broken pool heater), we had a lovely week. The house is a good place from which to organise trips into Sintra, Lisbon and to the beach. Surprisingly few wasps, which was a concern due to allergies. Only real tip for improvement would be the beds, as some of us did not sleep very well on these matrasses.
