Sehr schöne Ferienwohnung in toller Lage

Die Ferienwohnung bietet alles was man für einen Aufenthalt benötigt. Von der Küche bis hin zur Waschmöglichkeit war wirklich alles vorhanden. Die Wohnung ist mit Liebe zum Detail eingerichtet und man fühlt sich sofort wohl. Die Lage ist perfekt für Ausflüge in die nähere und weitere Umgebung, ein Fahrzeug wird jedoch benötigt, da man etwas außerhalb ist. Parken jederzeit kein Problem, da sich die Unterkunft in einem sehr ruhigen nur locker besiedeltem Wohngebiet liegt. Bei unserem nächsten Besuch in Portugal kommen wir gerne wieder!

Contactgeluiden

Voor ons was het onduidelijk dat er boven de accommodatie ook nog een woonruimte was. Door contactgeluiden heb je wel eens overlast. Dat gaf ons geen vrij gevoel. Het huis rook muffig door vocht. Het was ook niet het beste weer, maar toch. Verder is het best een mooi huis en is centraal gelegen om Cascais, Sintra, Lissabon met de trein en de stranden te beoeken.

Schöne Ferienwohnung mir wunderbarer Terrasse

Die Wohnung ist sehr schön eingerichtet und hat unseren Erwartungen vollständig entsprochen. Die Terrasse und der Garten sind wirklich großartig. Sofia ist eine tolle und sehr unkomplizierte Gastgeberin - hilfsbereit wann immer wir eine Nachfrage hatten. Die Lage der Wohnung mit ihrer Nähe zu allen Sehenswürdigkeiten und zum Strand läd zu vielen Ausflügen und Spaziergängen ein. Ein Auto ist in jedem Fall sehr hilfreich, da es in der direkten Umgebung wenig Einkaufsmöglichkeiten gibt. Wir haben die Zeit dort sehr genossen und wären gerne noch länger geblieben.

Calme et parfaitement situé

Le logement est parfaitement situé, à environ 10 minutes en voiture de Sintra et 15 minutes de la côte. Jardin magnifique depuis la terrasse. Idéal pour un séjour d'une semaine en famille avec jeunes enfants pour alterner visites des palais et détente. Le logement est au rez-de-chaussée d'une villa. La personne vivant au-dessus est très discrète (nous ne l'avons pas croisé). Le logement est très bien équipé, il dispose d'un poêle pour le chauffage (il faisait plutôt à frais et humide la nuit en ce mois d'avril). Sofia nous a accueilli en personne. Arrivée très facile (échange via whatsapp) malgré notre arrivée tardive. Petites touches d'attention à notre arrivée (pain, fruits, confiture, ...). Très bon séjour !

Charming Getaway

We were greeted by Sofia who supplied us with fresh bread and free range eggs … delicious. The suite is quite charming and the patio especially so on a sunny morning. Easy access to Sintra and Erieceira. It would be 5 stars but for the night noises. When it rains the water drips onto a metal chimney outside the main bedroom and is very loud and on our last night we hardly slept at all due to some kind of motor running in the suite above but Sofia says she has now fixed this.

Beautiful garden apartment.

A wonderful month! With Sofia - a very kind, friendly, considerate and helpful host! Sofia gave us a jar of her delicious homemade marmalade which sadly I had to leave in the fridge as unable to take half used jars on our flight! Very comfortable beds- cannot wait until we can return to Galamares!

Séjour en aout-21

5 nuits passées à 4 dans l'appartement, située dans une maison individuelle on occupe le rez de chaussée. Ensemble confortable et spacieux, belle terrasse avec vue au loin sur le palais de la Pena. Le logement se trouve à 10 min en voiture de Sintra et de la plage. Les petites améliorations possibles : - Wifi accessible mais peu efficace - moustiquaire aux fenêtres ou produit anti-moustique

eine Reise wert

Man ist bequem und mautfrei in max 30 min in Lissabon. Kostenfreies Parken direkt oberhalb des Hieronymus-Klosters. Dann weiter mit Tram in die City. Sehr easy - wir empfehlen Tagesticket. Gut, günstig, getaktet. Unser Eindruck war, dass das Sintragebirge ein Mikroklima hat. Etwas kühler als sonst in Portugal - also etwas warmes zum Anziehen nicht vergessen. Sofia hilft, ist schnell und unkompliziert.
