About this property

Family-friendly villa with pool & beautiful view, near beaches, surfing & golf

Very attractive private family-home villa with pool, within 10-15 minutes drive to five lovely beaches (with great surfing) and various golf courses & tennis. The villa is set in its own large garden, with a fantastic location on the lower slopes of the hills running up from the sea, with a marvellous view up to the wooded mountain of Sintra. The villa is large, with lovely spacious living rooms, with a lawn, a big terrace and its own sheltered swimming pool.

- The house is 45 minutes drive from Lisbon and Lisbon airport and is 15 minutes from the historic town of Sintra and from various beautiful palaces. Tennis courts, mountain biking, golf courses and riding facilities are also all within 15 minutes drive. There are many great restaurants nearby, especially for seafood.

- The Sintra region is one of the most interesting in Portugal, with castles, palaces and gardens to visit. Overlooking the town are the ramparts of the 8th century Castelo dos Mouros, and the eccentric Pena Palace. The nearby town of Colares is charming, and the exotic gardens and small palace of Montserrat are only 10 minutes away by car.

- The sandy beaches of Sintra's coastline are famous: Praia Grande (great for surfing), Praia das Maçãs, Praia da Adraga, Praiai da Adraga and Magoito (further south), are all from 10 to 20 minutes car trip from the house. There is a big beach called Guincho south west of the house, where the surfing world championships have been held.

- Many superb seafood and other restaurants, especially in Praia das Macas,
- Eight excellent golf courses close by
- Tennis, riding, mountain biking
- Fabulous walks, both along the coastal clifftops and in the hills of Sintra
- Local festivals in the summer in Sintra (arts and music), in Mucifal (local folk festival) and elsewhere
- Best of all, relax by the pool in the villa, with its lawn and breath-taking mountain views
- sleeps 12 plus 1 baby cot provided

Great stay
We were a family group ranging from 12 to 82 and had a wonderful week at the house. It's characterful and quirky inside and has a great outdoor space with amazing views and a lovely pool which most of us had us brief swim in (it was April so still cold!). The location was perfect, quiet yet close to Sintra, from where you can easily get a train to Lisbon, and lovely beaches. Would recommend!

Family holiday near Sintra
The situation of the house is good with a lovely outlook/view. It is in a semi-urban location but is totally private and not overlooked at all. It is blessed with a wonderful pool and had plenty of private open space and a very good patio having blinds to provide some shade. Some of the garden furniture is old and needs replacing. The house is huge and we made little use of it as the weather was good. The interior is looking a somewhat tired. The electrics are a little worrying – light switches would work some of the time but not at others. The kitchen is surprisingly small, particularly having regard to the size of the house. The mosquitoes were a problem at the time of our visit and it would have been helpful to have been warned in advance.

Three Generations family stay for Grampy’s 60th.
We needed a base around Sintra for 6 x Adults and 7 x children. Joy, myself (Richard), Laura & Donna ( our Daughters) had spent 2 1/2 years on the Estoril coast back in 1989-1991, whilst I served at the NATO Base in Oeriras. Casa do Cedro reminded us all, a lot, of our last bungalow home we rented in Linho back then? Full of Portuguese character, we all felt instantly At Home their. We all loved our stay and our 7 x grandchildren (Harvey, Evan, Daisy, Imogen, William, Daniel & Esmee.) Really loved the Pool which was the Firm Favourite part of the Villa with them! Many thanks for the use of your Families Villa Mark. A Lovely Place in a Lovely part of Sintra, perfect for our needs.

About the host

Hosted by Mark Hudson

Host profile image
The villa is a family home, and most of the family live in the UK. The house has character and is well looked after.

Why they chose this property

The villa was the family home of my parents-in-law, who no longer live there. However, it is still the family holiday home.

What makes this property unique

* The house has a stunning view of the mountain of Sintra, from a lovely and huge terrace, below which the lawn slopes gently down to the pool.
* The villa is large but it is still cosy and very easy to live in.
* It is in a beautiful area, within easy reach of 5 attractive beaches, many restaurants, lots of unique sights and walks (in Sintra and the Serra) .. and yet is only 45 minutes from the centre of Lisbon.
