Fantastic retreat for families
Amazing house and grounds. Avani was attentive but let's you get on wth your holiday. Can't recommend her or the house highly enough.
Very beautiful building with gorgeous grounds and pool
Went with friends for our joint 40th year, the house was perfect for us to hang around together and catch up. Plenty of space, beautiful garden full of flowers and fruit trees, big dining tables inside and out, equipped kitchen, great areas for relaxing outside and a fab pool big and deep enough for a proper swim. No pressure or too many rules or intrusion, seems very focussed on the guests relaxing and enjoying their stay. Lots of thought has gone into a homely vibe and what people want on holiday, even a stack of sun hats supplied. We loved it and had a wonderful week.
Relaxing break in beautiful surroundings
Beautiful house decorated so tastefully, set in amazing gardens, with lovely day furniture and pool. Garden carefully tended, with some beautiful trees and shrubs.
Avani the host was always on hand to help to ensure we had an enjoyable stay. On request she kindly supplied fans as we had a few really hot days and bedrooms have no air con.
We had such a relaxing stay.
Mosquitos were a problem for us (maybe just a certain time of year) therefore it was a shame we could not sit out in the evenings, however with beautiful Sintra and lively Lisbon 20-30 mins away we went out instead.
our memorable stay
We were a family of 6
1 grandparent ( f) - 2 parents- (mc) 3 others age 20-30 (fff)
We stayed at the house in May 2016 and had fantastic weather - most days 25 degrees and sunshine.
We had paid a bacs transfer for the deposit - and although this had caused consternation at the time was all ok..
We took cash to settle the rest of the payment - a deposit ( returned) for breakages and damage and a payment for pool heating
We decided to pick up a hire car at the airport and drive up to the house - it's about 25 minutes - drive - I would suggest you get a decent sat nav - as the roads in Portugal can be a bit confusing
On our arrival Avani the owner was there to meet us - we had ordered some light shopping and were taken in a quick tour of the house
The house is secluded and set in a great garden - the pool was warm but we chose to pay to have it heated which was of benefit to us at the end of the week
The water in the house comes from a well - so I suggest buying bottled water for drinking - no body in our party was ill, but we were fairly cautious.
There are bicycles, washing machine, dryer - amazing kitchen , multi gym - table tennis etc - and plenty of room - lots of tables and chairs outside to eat on - and a daybed outside which got plenty of use.
Barbecue facilities - we did have a small barbecue one evening and the coals were very kindly provided.
There is a little shop at the end of the road and 2x supermarkets about 15 minutes drive away lidl and another poco docce
Both sell the essentials
We used the log fire in the living room a few evenings - and put on central heating one night when the air temp was particularly cold in relation to the daytime.
The TV - books and guides for days out were invaluable - we used them to give us inspiration for our various days out - you are about 30 mins maximum from Lisbon and 20 minutes from Sintra - we went on longer trips to the beaches of the North and surf.
The house is quiet and safe - we left my mom in alone one day - whilst we all went adventuring - and she felt safe alone - you have security systems that Avani will explain.
Kitchen facilities are great - microwaves, cookers - dishwashers etc
Wifi - the wifi is great - not accessible everywhere due to the thick walls - but at least you have some!
We will try and go back - it was an easy base for a family trip to Lisbon - Avani the owner left us to it, but was available if needed.
Beautiful, spacious property, great for families/large groups
We had a wonderful time at this villa. Avani, the owner, was very welcoming and we especially appreciated the offers to stock the kitchen with starter groceries and to provide dinner for us on our first evening from their terrific Indian restaurant (at our expense of course). Avani and her staff were also quickly responsive to the few minor issues we had during our stay (a burned out light bulb, for example.) The grounds, the pool and the interior spaces exceeded our expectations and hopes. The property is somewhat isolated and a car is essential, but we found it pretty easy to get to the airport, Lisbon, the town of Sintra, and coastal towns and beaches. The villa was also a wonderful place to spend time when we were tired of being tourists or it was just too hot to sightsee. I would highly recommend this property to family groups or friends as a perfect base for seeing Sintra and Lisbon.
Best Villa I never was !
