War alles sehr unkompliziert und angenehm. Perfektes Haus für eine grosse Gruppe. Ausreichend Platz um mehrere Autos abzustellen. Die Küche war etwas einfach eingerichtet aber Grundsätzlich findet man alles was man braucht. Ein paar scharfe Messer wären super gewesen aber das ist erfahrungsgemäss in den meisten Ferienhäuser so. Würde die Unterkunft wieder mieten.

The only we had we the place was for us to locate the place

Even the taxi drivers could not locate the address If the address is added on the map angle GPS it would be a great place for individuals and family. Thanks a lot.

Perfect!!

Everything about this stay was excellent! The hosts were extremely good with communicating with us before the holidays and during! They answered all our queries and we never had to wait too long for a response. They were also very attentive with the check-in, ensuring we knew where everything in the house was and how everything worked. And it was also very helpful that they provided us with a 'welcome pack' showing the surrounding area and all the near restaurants and shops! The house itself was very comfortable and we had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. We were a group of 14 and everyone slept comfortably and there's more than enough bathrooms for all! The grounds are very well maintained with the house being perfectly located in a secluded area, but only minutes drive from civilisation! Definitely recommend this house for family units or groups of friends looking for a nice getaway!

Perfect villa for family or friends!

I stayed at the villa with friends and three children for 7 days in May 2017. The villa is amazing, large, clean and homely. The garden is very big with pool area, BBQ and lots of green space. The owners are extremely accommodating and were always on hand if we needed anything. The villa is a bit off the beaten track in the heart of Sintra so I would recommend hiring a car as the taxi and Uber drivers found it difficult to find at times. Other than that, it was the perfect stay and I hope to visit again!

Gemma and her friends made a lovely group that stayed for a week in Casa das Xaras. for a wedding in Sintra. They were very friendly and took very good care with the villa, leaving it in perfect conditions. It was a pleasure to host Gemma and her party and we look forward to hosting them again, or simply to have them visiting us in the future.

Beautiful house, owners wonderfully welcoming

This is a truly wonderful house in a very private setting, close to Lisbon, just 15 minutes drive from the stunning hills of Sintra, and 10 minutes from the beach. The owners were very welcoming and greeted us with local wine, cheese, salami and fresh herbs for cooking. The facilities are spotlessly clean, the view from the many terraces spectacular. We have absolutely no hesitation in recommending this house.

Beautiful gem owned by lovely folks about 30-to-40

We were at the villa with friends for 4 days in May 2015. Amazing, spacious, super clean and very cute villa about 40 min west of Lisbon. There are multiple terraces, a great pool and pool area and a very large garden. The owners are extremely sweet and super flexible. Beware it can get cold at night, blankets are available but an extra sweater is recommended.
