We rented this beautiful, clean home for a 10-day family vacation. There were 7 of us (5 adults and 2 children).
Ana & Antonio are wonderful hosts - very responsive. They welcomed us to the house and provided a detailed list of things to do, places to visit and restaurants in the area.
With 5 bedrooms & 3 bathrooms, there was plenty of room. There was even a crib for the 1 year old. It's a large house with plenty of sitting room both inside and out. Big dining room. Many "unique" antiques throughout the house.
We would have enjoyed the vacation just by staying at the house. The grounds are just beautiful. The large patio overlooks the salt water infinity pool with lots of seating. Many games are available: tennis, ping pong, foosball, badminton, a play area for the kids. Also, make sure you visit the chickens.
Lisbon was only a 30-40 minutes drive, beautiful beaches were 20-30 minutes away, and Sintra was a little over an hour.
Speaking of food, you don't have to go far for great food. There are some very good local restaurants: Casa Negrito (try their chocolate mousse cake), Restaurante Bulla, & Casa das Tortas (fresh grilled seafood) to name a few. Also, you must try the Azeitao spreadable cheese. We also arranged (through Ana) for two cooks to come to the house to prepare an authentic Portuguese meal.
Overall, you will love your stay. Wish we would have stayed longer!
