Villa near beaches within Sintra and Cascais Natural Park

We stayed here for two weeks in mid July. Giampiaro is a charming and gracious host. He lives on the property so readily accessible, if needed however is otherwise almost never seen. The spacious and bright house is a charming mix of antiques & art. We travelled with our two adult children, their partners and a 17 month old grandson. We appreciated the large guest rooms with private bathrooms and patios. Everyone could find their own space, when needed. This is a tranquil setting overlooking the coast. The gardens and the enclosed pool were appreciated and enjoyed. The village of Azoia is a short walk away with a cafe, wine bar and several restaurants. We had use of a car. It was handy to explore nearby villages or for groceries in Cascais. We would not recommend drivint into Sintra or Lisbon. It would be too stressful, use a service. Overall, a wonderful and relaxing family vacation. We highly recommend Giampiaro's home.

We were very pleased with the house and property. There were 9 of us, including 3 children. The kids really enjoyed the indoor pool. The prorietor stayed next door in an apartment and was always available for any needs. Azoia is a small quiet village. There were good restaurants wthin walking distance, but you will need to drive about 20 minutes for groceries. There are views of the sea from the yard. I highly recommend.

Fabulous. Giampiero was the perfect host and we felt we were staying in a home, not a house.

We stayed in this house for 2 months. We had 4 groups of family and friends come separately. Everyone loved the house as it offers privacy and also warmth for appreciating a truly distinctive home. If you rent this home, you will always remember: the space, the furniture, the paintings, the window/wall coverings and the very pleasant and gentle owner. We had a wonderful time and would recommend this property for everyone.

We had a wonderful stay in this beautiful house, full of character and charm, with plenty of space to relax. Giampiero was an excellent host and made us feel very welcome. The location of the property is in a stunning area, with lots of viewpoints over the coastline, magnificent sunsets, beaches to suit all tastes and the famous Cabo de Roca just a stone’s throw away. There are several very good restaurants/cafes within a 5 minute walk from the house which was an added bonus. Day trips to Sintra, Lisbon and Cascais are also highly recommended.

This is a special personalized home that gianpiero opens to people. The rooms are spacious and everywhere one looks there’s a special object of art or history. The solarium perfect for cocktails and socializing. The living room for quiet reading. The garden for gazing. The grounds are spectacular and location perfect

We loved the house. It was great for our family with adult children and friends. Loved having individual bathrooms. Loved the garden inside. We had a huge rainstorm while we were there and the water coming in was taken care of immediately!

The host was very easy to work with and was available if I had questions or needed anything. The house is as it is shown. Couldn’t use the pool because the water was too cold. I loved being able to walk down to the village and get the items that I needed. Enjoyed my stay in Portugal.

We could not have had a more helpful & friendly host in Giampiero. The Villa is a very good size with large bedrooms and a huge lounge. The sun room is lovely & the pool is very nice but it did have a few cobwebs. Fantastic scenery around the area& easy access to Sintra, Cascais & Lisbon with a bus just passing by the door. All day on & off travel cost €11:90 per person. Weather in August is very changeable sometimes with low clouds. Can recommend this place.

Wow! What a wonderful stay! This was the perfect location for a family gathering. My wife and I, along with our children and their boy/girl friends (7 total) stayed a week at this incredible property. Let me start by saying that Giampiero is the most warm and accomodating host. He greeeted us when we arrived, made sure that all our needs were immediately addressed during our stay, and was there to see us off when we left. He truly treated us like family. The property itself was fantastic. There was plenty of room for the seven of us to have privacy when we wanted but also to congregate at the large dining, kitchen or outdoor tables for meals. The kitchen was well stocked with dishes and cookware. The sun terrace was especially popular for a relaxing read or conversation in the morning or late afternoon. There are several very good restaurants within walking distance and it is only a short drive to spectacular views. The location is very centrally located with beaches, Lisbon and Sintra all being easy rides. Highly recommend this property whether you are looking to relax or just want a centrally located property to visit beautiful Portugal.
