Charming house close to Lisbon, Sintra and the beach

A beautiful garden and orchard surround the property, a lovely and very clean house. Maria was very prompt to answer any questions before our stay and welcomed us late in the evening too show us around. Everything worked perfectly. We were a group of 7 - grandparents, parents, uncle and 2 children. The area has a variety of things to do and see, and it was easy to find supermarkets and restaurants close by. We would definitely recommend this property!

Perfect accommodation in a peaceful location

Stayed for one week with my husband and adult children. The accommodation was meticulously clean and comfortable with every need met - including beach towels and parasol. The garden and house were lovely, lots to explore and well equipped. The location is perfect to explore the surrounding area and also for a trip into Lisbon. Plenty of supermarkets,’local markets and excellent recommendations of places to visit by Maria, the owner. Communication with Maria was extremely and she was there waiting for us on arrival and also at the end of our stay. Would certainly recommend a visit to this villa and will hopefully return in the future.

Cozy and quiet place

The house is very cozy, in a beautiful environment, without neighbors - for those who don't like the hustle and bustle of the city. The ceiling on the second floor is quite low, so you need to watch your head at first. There are all necessary things for relaxation and cooking. Easy and quick communication with the host Maria who welcomed us with fresh Pastel de Nata.

Stunning Garden!

We really enjoyed our stay, Maria João was great, she received us with herbal tea from her garden and pasteis de nata. Every time we needed anything she was quick to reply. The children's bedroom is upstairs and the stairs are a bit dangerous for smaller kids, the ceiling is slightly lower. The garden is stunning and the location couldn't be better. Is secluded enough to give you privacy and is 10 minutes drive from seafront and maybe 4 minutes from the supermarket.

Well equipped house in beautiful garden

We spent one week with 4 adults and 3 small children in Maria's house and had a wonderful time. The garden is well maintained and beautiful, and we we really enjoyed the outdoor areas with shade, seating and the pool. It was a perfectly safe space for the kids to roam around. The house pretty, cozy and super well equipped with anything you could need in the kitchen and even beach towels. It comes with the downsides of a charming old house like creaking doors and stuffy cupboards, which we did not mind much. The small upstairs bathroom and steep staircase - which were the only downsides for us - are supposed to see a makeover later on the year. Maria is a wonderful host who was very available via phone/whatsapp and had lots of recommendations in the local area for us.

We spent a wonderful week in this house, amidst a lovely, well-maintained garden. We were welcomed by Maria with fresh lemonade and pastries. There are many separate places for people to just sit and read but also 2 big tables, one inside, one outside to eat at or play games. The house stayed cool inside, even without AC. There were plenty of cutlery and plates for 7 people. In the interest of everyone getting the place they want and need, I must mention the stairs and upstairs. The stairs are very steep and narrow and the bedrooms and bathroom upstairs are only for children or very short adults. The ceilings are low and the shower is very small. The house is easily accessible because it's next to the road but there is some traffic noise at certain times of the day. All in all, we had a wonderful week - we were comfortable in the house and there were places to visit around. The only thing we did not appreciate was when we received a message saying the checkout time had been "updated" - from 11:00 to 10:00. I was told we could stay until 11:00 but the cleaning crew would arrive at 10:00. We changed our plans from a leisurely good-bye breakfast to a rather hasty departure. We felt as if the new renters were being given priority over us. All in all though, a 5-star stay.

Tolles Ferienhaus mit allem was man braucht

Ich war im Oktober mit meiner Familie bei Maria zu Gast. Die Unterkunft hat alles was man braucht und ein schönes Aussengelände. In der näheren Umgebung finden man tolle Strände und Buchten. Lebensmittelgeschäfte und Restaurants sind mit dem Auto innerhalb von 5-10 Minuten erreichbar. Wir würden die Unterkunft wieder buchen und planen schon die nächste Reise. Maria war sehr freundlich und immer gut zu erreichen.

Amadorismo

A casa tem uma escada perigosissima. No andar de cima, com dois quartos, anda-se de cócoras. A proprietária no primeiro dia convida, no futuro, a estabelecer contacto directo com ela e diz pessimamente da vrbo. Péssima impressão. Falta de sentido de serviço da proprietária da casa. (não consigo clicar no "aqui" e abrir link para perceber o que não está conforme. Agradeço me informem claramente. obrigado.
Response from VrboOwner on 26 October 2020
Caro Joao, nao esperariamos infelizmente outro comentario de alguem que deixou a casa num estado lastimavel e deploravel, que nao honrou os seus compromissos de pagamento, que no dia de saida nao se digna a estar presente e ainda nos informa que o resto da familia em vez de respeitar a regra de sair as 12h, pede para sair as 20h da noite, que dias antes, informa que nao serao 5 adultos e 3 criancas prefazendo a capacidade da casa de 8 pessoas , mas sim 7 adultos e 4 criancas, numa casa com capacidade comunicada para 8 pessoas. Somos obviamente amadores e nao profissionais de turismo, queremos que a nossa casa seja utilizada e respeitada da mesma forma que nos a utilizamos para nos proprios e nao por pessoas que a danifiquem e a deixem no estado que a sua familia a deixou.

Uitstekende gastvrouw en heer (op afstand) , huisje enigszins gedateerd.

De woning is zoals op de foto, helemaal op je zelf . Alles wat je nodig hebt in een vakantiewoning is er , de familie heeft het huis ook in gebruik. De inventaris, met name in de keuken is gedateerd en is aan vervanging toe. De woning is geschikt om twee gezinnen te huisvesten en biedt voldoende gelegenheid om ook een dag thuis te blijven die je dan kan afsluiten met een heerlijke BBQ. In de omgeving van Sesimbra is veel te doen, veel stranden en natuurparken. De natuur is hier prachtig. Als je uit eten gaat is er vooral veel vis, de supermarkten verkopen overigens uitstekende kwaliteit producten. Ik heb de wijn uit Portugal goed leen kennen en heeft bij zeer positief verrast! Lissabon en Sintra zijn verplichte uitstapjes maar houd rekening met het verkeer op brug. Maria en Goncalo zijn zeer behulpzaam gastvrij.
