Character and convenience for larger families

We stayed with a party of 10 in the house, and is was convenient for all. It has a beautiful swimming pool and spacious private garden area. Easy access to Sesimbra, and beautiful local beaches. The host Isabel was very helpful and friendly. Highly recommended.

Una casa con mucho encanto y un gran jardín con piscina

La casa está realmente bien para un grupo de hasta 10 personas. Zonas amplias y, sobre todo, un gran jardín. Destacaría que la propietaria, Isabel, está siempre pendiente a lo que se pueda necesitar y facilita recomendaciones de restaurantes, playas y demás. Lo que habría que mejorar son las camas y colchones, todos ellos muy antiguos, y faltan armarios. Había que compartir armarios entre habitaciones. Por lo demás, todo muy bien. Es una casa recomendable con un precioso jardín y barbacoa solo 5 minutos de la playa de Sesimbra.

Wonderful Holidays

The house is very charming and truly "instagrammable", with a large, spectacular garden with lots of open spaces for a large group to roam about and kids to play. It's well equipped and everything was working perfectly, we had a great time barbecuing sardines and seafood bought from the excellent local produce. No need for a/c in the summer as the house is fresh even at peak heat hours. The parking is next to the kitchen, so it's very convenient to load/unload bags and shopping from/to the cars. The location is strategic, as there are plenty of supermarkets close by and Sesimbra and the Arrabida park is only a short drive away. The only point to be considered is that there's constant traffic from the road next to the house, which means there's a road hum, mostly audible on the outside as the inside is well-insulated. Also, the landlord lives in another house within the property which is very convenient for any requests or issues that can arise but can be a put-off if complete privacy is desired. Some of the mattresses were older, with springs, and can be hard on your back if you need softer ones, but some beds had newer modern mattresses that were quite nice. Overall we had a great experience as a group of 4 couples, a kid and a dog and would repeat without doubt!

Charming house in very noisy sorroundings

The house itself is charming enough. Well equiped and well cleaned - a nice property. However I would advise you to check the sorrounding on google before you rent it. It is located right next to a roundabout and a highly trafficated road. This means that you will have constant noise from the traffic during your whole holiday. Further the location next to the road makes access in and out very difficult with your car. There is nothing worth seeing or doing in Santana, you have to go to Sesimbra. Since you cannot reach Sesimbra by foot or bycycle due to the heavy traffic, and taxis are very diffucult to get, you are dependent on your car.

The description of the house advertisement warns that the house is located at a roundabout with a lot of traffic during the day. The location is also visible. I also advise on the page to rent a car, since the roads do not have pedestrian walks. Anyone who has the uber application can easily arrange transportation.

Success in Santana!

When searching for a suitable property not too distant from Lisbon airport (under one hour) we found this delightful old house on the outskirts of the little village of Santana, and just a 10 minute drive to the busy little seaside town of Sesimbra. An old house, full of character, with a well maintained garden, an excellent pool with adjoining shower and toilet facilities, plenty of sunbeds - what more could you ask for? Our hostess, Isabel, was extremely helpful and wasted no time in dealing with one or two little problems which arose. Our extended family, some of whom joined us from the U.S., enjoyed the spacious rooms, and though there was no A/C it proved unnecessary, as this house was built to cope with high temperatures! All in all a most successful holiday . Pat Cooke

Excelente casona antigua

La casa está fenomenal, es amplia y llena de muebles antiguos.buen gusto. Bien equipada.El jardín y la piscina muy especiales y bien mantenidos. Pasamos una segunda mitad de agosto muy agradable en familia. El único punto negativo la cercanía a la carretera general, bastante concurrida. El barrio tampoco es nada del otro mundo, pero se agradece la cercanía de un restaurante bastante bueno y de otros servicios. La dueña, atenta. La limpieza ok. En definitiva, experiencia positiva

Un super séjour

Quel beau souvenir que ce séjour passé dans cette superbe maison authentique. Beaucoup d'espace, de tranquillité, de beauté! Les petits déjeuners au bord de la piscine avec les amis furent des moments très agréables. Cette maison offre un bon compromis car proche de la ville sesimbra et un peu éloigné du centre pour la tranquilité. tres bon contact avec la propriétaire tres sympathique. Presse de pouvoir revenir!!!!!!!!

A perfect villa for a nice holiday

The villa is very charming, so the pictures don't lie. A very nice living room, perfect for having a late driknk, chatting or playing some trivial pursuit with the family/friends. The garden and grill place also offered fine places for enjoying the moment. The pool was bigger than expected and was really appreciated by the kids. We also found the kitchen good equipped

About our wonderful trip to this beautiful house!

I write this review from all people who stayed with me in this wonderful place in July. I just want to say thank you for staying there. We are glad for choosing this property. It is useful place for people who want to relax in a swimming pool, eat a barbecue, which you can make on the territory of this villa. If you go there with your family it would be the best holiday you have ever had. There is a supermarket just 5 minutes walking from this villa and there is a delicious restaurant cross the road. We all liked staying there and we enjoyed it because we have chosen THIS house! And especially Esabel, who is an owner of this house is very very friendly and nice! Thanks for everything!

Thank you Maria, Dmitry and all the rest of the group. You were my first group of Russian people and I must say that you were excellent guests. Anytime you want to return to Portugal, my house is always open to people so nice like you!

Great house, big fireplace (we were there in November). The original antique furniture is a nice special feature. Clean and comfortable. Really liked it. Rooms are spacious. Location is good. 35 minutes to Lisbon. 5 minutes from the sea and mountains. Great!

maravillosas vacaciones

La quinta es un lugar privilegiado para unas vacaciones familiares o en grupo de amigos. La casa es fabulosa y muy bien equipada, y lo principal muy espaciosa. El exterior de la vivienda es muy grande y hermoso al igual que la piscina. Hay muchos sitios para visitar en los alrededore,buenas playas, ciudades interesantes como Lisboa, Setubal y lugares con encanto como la Sierra de Arrabida o cabo Espichel. La dueña es encantadora y facilita las cosas muchisimo. Son unas vacaciones recomendables las cuales repetiría.

A little bit of Portuguese Heaven

Our group of 5, including our two grown up sons and our daughter-in- law had a magnificent time. The large villa which is beautiful, contains many exquisite features, is well provided, and sits in a large garden with attractive pool. The location is perfect with shops nearby and there is even a very good restaurant just opposite. The quaint fishing village of Sesimbra is a 10 minute drive away, where a number of good restaurants are to be found. Along the coast to the North and East are beautiful quiet beaches approached through winding roads with compelling views of the coastline. The historic City of Lisbon, which has to be visited, is only an hour away. Although the villa does sit on a bit of a busy road, we were unaffected by it. The owner Isabel occupies the house alongside and is both charming and very helpful and speaks English fluently. The house would be great at any time of year. I could imagine enjoying the warmth from a roaring log fire in that magnificent and imposing fireplace. When we come back to the area, we will be sure to stay again.

un excellent séjour

au mois de juin dernier j'ai passé avec des amis une semaine dans cette quinta. Nous avons trouvé la maison très accueillante, isolée de l'extérieur par un très agréable jardin et nous nous sommes baignés dans une piscine très propre et très agréable. La maitresse de maison a été très gentille et disponible vis à vis des exigences de ses hotes étrangers. Si je retourne au Portugal en vacances, je ne manquerai pas de revenir à Santana, merci Isabel Isabella

Review of holiday July 2010

We had a lovely time in this spacious clean and very well appointed property with a good swimming pool and much better than usual facilities. There are interesting places to visit locally though we would not especially recommend Sesimbra which is very busy. There are other local beaches which are easily accessible with a car and not busy. There are good local shops and restaurants. The only down side was the close proximity to the main road which is busy most of the day and night, but we had no problems driving locally. The owner is easily available and speaks excellent English and is very helpful.

A fantastic place to stay at any time of the year

I passed last New Year's Eve in this outstanding villa together with my family and friends. The house is charming and the facilities great. It is near Sesimbra which gives easy acess to the beach and to very nice restaurants (and if you like to eat fish, Sesimbra's restaurants are a great place to do this). It is a perfect place to be all year since you can enjoy from the pool if its summer or from the fire place if its winter. It is as well close to Lisbon, Sintra, etc. which allow you to visit these places as well (recommended to rent a car). In a nutshell, a place that I'll for sure visit and stay again in the near future.

Excellent!!

Me and my 8 friends stayed in this Villa last summer for two weeks. The Villa was beautiful and had lots of space. The bedrooms and living area in the house were big and beautifully furnished with old furniture. The location was perfect. A short distance from Sesimbra and the bus to Lisbon went just outside the villa. The owner of the house, Isabel, was very friendly and helpful. Me and my freinds aggree that our holiday was the best ever. We would love to spend another holiday in this location. We couldn't ask a better place to spend a holiday.

Why they chose this property

This property has been in the family ever since I remember.
My summer, christmas and easter holidays were all spent here as a child with my family so this house has a very special meaning to me.

What makes this property unique

The interior decoration is very charming, combining the rustic/country style furniture in its 5 bedrooms and the oriental elements in the big living room and dining room, preserving the soul of the old and traditional. The 4 bathrooms are all different and their tiles are exquisite.
On the outside, the pleasant porch with barbecue, where you can enjoy your meals.
The garden is large and luxuriant, with shaded pine areas and the pool with its unusual shape.
It’s totally suited for families with children, elderly groups and pets are also welcomed.
