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

Wyjątkowy Dom
Dziękuję z całego serca za możliwość mieszkania w tym wyjątkowym domu. Jestem zachwycona i szczęśliwa. Polecam bardzo ten dom każdemu, kto pragnie spędzić wakacje w magicznej Sintrze. Wasza podróż do krainy baśni zacznie się już po przekroczeniu progu Casa do Cedro. Z wdzięcznością za wszystko Isabelle

Great place for visitors of Sintra, Lisbon and nearby attractions
We spent in the villa whole week in July. The house is very spacious, with big outside area. We travel with 4 families, 14 people in total. House is spacious enough for this group of people, however two one bedroom was quite claustrophobic. All devices worked fine, villa is clean and well maintained. The pool area needs some renovations and some additional sunbeds and umbrellas. Astonishing living room with open fireplace and library full of old books, gives the house a spirit which is hard to forget. Located in the small, quiet village, close to Sintra, approx. 25km from Lisbon. Nearest beach is within 20 minutes by car. I strongly recommend the villa for families and pack of friends. Lisbon, Sintra, Cabo da Roca, Cascais, beautiful beaches are within 40 minutes by car, so the place is great starting point for everybody who wants to visit interesting places, not only looking for sun and sand:)

summer 2008 & 2009
We had a fantastic time a this amazing villa. Loved sitting on the terrace with beautiful mountain views, Pena Palace visible on one peak. Could have sat there all day with a good book whilst watching the kids play in the pool and garden. Plenty of space, lots of communal rooms, even a ping pong room upstairs. The nearby beach was great, especially enjoyed lunch at the beach bar. The cool night breezes made it easy to sleep.The villa is unique, full of lovely furniture and objects making it very homely and relaxing. Lisbon is just down the road and we spent a day wandering it's ornate, historic streets not to mention the shops. We went with another family and had a thoroughly enjoyable time. We've been twice, so far......

Authentique maison portugaise
Dans la superbe région de Sintra, au pied du parc naturel, nous avons séjourné dans cette authentique grande maison portugaise meublée dans un style et un charme fou où rien ne manque en terme de confort. Un beau jardin et une piscine chauffée complète cette location. Nous avons eu l'impression d'être reçu chez des amis dans une maison familiale et non une quelconque location de vacances. A recommander

Charaktervolles Haus, maximales Pech mit dem Wetter
So viel und obendrein fast durchgängiger Regen bei kalten Temperaturen hat uns das Genießen etwas erschwert, zumal das Haus schwer zu heizen ist. Aber vermutlich hat sonst niemand ein solches Wetterpech...

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.
