Great location to explore beaches, Lisbon, Sintra
Overall a very nice stay. Nice sized house with a good layout for a big family. The location was great for exploring the whole area. It is a long walk into Sintra so a ride is pretty much necessary but Ubers are everywhere.

Beautiful spacious home, just as advertised.
We stayed comfortably and happily with our family from Germany. The was plenty of space for the eight of us to sleep and in fact, the house sleeps more. The rooms were clean, the pool was nice, and the kitchen well-stocked. A great value for the price we paid, and a short cars-drive away from the local tourist spots.

Spacious Accomodation
Great place for multiple-person stay! There is the main house which has a big bath, and one of the three bedrooms in the house has its own bath/toilet. Then there are two other little separately locking spaces outside of the main house with bathrooms/showers for your other guests privacy. Laundry room on site was also great for our longer stay. The kitchen is a bit antiquated - you have to light the cook-top with a match - but served us well. Access to regional attractions was great! You can see one of the Sintra Castles from out the front window, although I think it was a bit far to walk to. Short drive to local beaches and Portela de Sintra train station for trips to Lisbon and such; would not recommend using main Sintra station due to lack of parking and crowding in town. Overall, a great location for an extended visit!

Convenient hub to explore Sintra region
The house is located in a nice quiet neighborhood short drive from historic Sintra and few nearby beaches. Has a little grocery store and restaurants walking distance away, though they don't show up while looking on Google maps. House is well equipped with everything needed for a large family to be as comfortable as at home. We also appreciated weekly housekeeping services, which made everything even more relaxing.

About the host

I live 6 minutes from the house and with the help of our wonderful maid, the gardener and Rosa we manage this small business.
I am always within a phone call away to help in any way or to service the house.
I lived 15 years in Canada in my early years so I speak English perfectly. I can also communicate very well in French and Spanish.

Why they chose this property

What makes this property unique

Incredible view, plants, flowers and green everywhere. The pool area and the entire house is a sun trap since it is facing south and protected from all winds.
The house has huge windows and in the living room even the doors to the exterior are in glass. Our maid, Marilia, speaks english and keeps the house stopless and does the cleaning in the middle of your stay. Within 5-10 minute walk there are a couple of restaurants with a pleasant outside area away from any traffic where one can sit for hours or until late in the evening. While the village of Galamares is very quite, major shopping malls, train station and the freeway are less than 10 minutes away. Going the other direction the various beaches with numerous cafes and restaurants are less than 10 minures away. Rent a bike (or e-bike) and have it delivered to the house.
