We had a nice stay in Villa Mara

We had a nice stay in Villa Mara. The hosts are responsive and helpful. The house is uniquely decorated in traditional style and has a nice garden and a barbecue. It is comfortable with all amenities, though somewhat dated. The surrounding Sintra area is beautiful for hikes, car required.

a perfect villa for a large family

a perfect villa for a large family. furnished for all ages. unfortunately no basics for the kitchen (salt and pepper and oil) could have been nice to have toilet paper. careful, shops around are insanely expensive

July 2022

We spent two weeks at villa Mara in July. The villa was very nice and well equipped. The outdoor area was also lovely. It was fantastic that Janas village was only 5 min walk – great coffee shop, supermarket, restaurant, baker and butcher. The location is ideal both for the nearby beaches, with excellent restaurants, and also for exploring the sights in Sintra. The villa manager was also extremely helpful.

Maison familiale avec une âme et des trésors dans chaque recoins

Maison familiale avec une âme et des trésors dans chaque recoins. Située au calme, très bien équipée pour de grandes familles. Le temps était pluvieux et humide, une petite heure de climatisation 'air chaud) a suffi à enlever l'humidité de la maison. Les salles de bain bien que petites restent fonctionnelles. Une belle expérience et une véritable maison de vacances. 25/10/25

Vi hade en fantastisk vecka i detta boende! Avskilt, mysigt och med allt man kan tänkas behöva. Köket är mycket välutrustat med alla tillbehör och huset är till och med rymligare än vad bilderna visar. Vi kan varmt rekommendera detta ställe! 25/09/25

Nous avons passé un très bon séjour. Hôte extremement réactif et arrangeant. Attention néanmoins à prendre une voiture pour se déplacer facilement. Les trajets sont cependant possibles en transport en commun si on accepte d'y passer un peu de temps ! 23/10/24

Nous avons passé une très bonne semaine dans la villa Mara

Nous avons passé une très bonne semaine dans la villa Mara. Elle est située dans un petit village très agréable aux abords de Sintra. La côte est à peine à 5mn de la maison dont le très joli village d’azenhas do Mar. L’emplacement de la maison nécessite une location de voiture mais tout est rapide d’accès (toute la côte entre Cascais et Lisbonne). C’est un bon compromis si par exemple on veut visiter Lisbonne (30-40mn) tout en étant au bord de la mer. La maison est très agréable et bien agencée. La piscine est bien entretenue. Catarina qui nous a accueilli est très sympathique et très disponible dans la moindre requête.

Un séjour parfait!

Excellente communication et réactivité avec l’agence. Quartier très calme en dehors de l’agitation du centre ville, parfait pour se reposer. Plage à proximité. Climatisation très appréciée. Très belle piscine et extérieurs sympas. Le plus, les services de la femme de ménage et du pisciniste! Un séjour parfait!

Villa agréable

Villa spacieuse, au calme et proche des commerces. Bien située La région est très brumeuse, fraîche et peu ensoleillée . Problème avec la piscine, l' eau jaunit les maillots de bain. Tous les WC sont entartrés. Les sanitaires méritent une rénovation .

Bonjour Hélène, merci pour vos commentaires. En effet, la région de Sintra possède son propre microclimat, plus frais que le reste de la côte de Lisbonne, ce qui peut être utile lors des journées chaudes. Nous transmettrons votre commentaire sur l'équipement sanitaire au propriétaire. Le calcaire est dû à l'eau de la région et on ne peut pas y faire grand-chose. Nous serions ravis de vous accueillir à nouveau dans l'une de nos propriétés au Portugal. L'équipe Allure Villas

Mouse in the kitchen

This house did not deliver as expected. The cleaning of the house was not good. Half of the sun loungers were partially broken and could easily have been fixed. We had to clean the washing machine and the coffee machine was broken. On top of this we had visits by mice in the kitchen. The owner contacted us to carry out a repair of the A / C, which should have been done before we arrived. When we let them come to carry out the work they did not bother to cleaned up. When we made the owner aware of these things we got a cheap bottle of wine as compensation.

Großes Haus für große Familien

Die Fahrt von Lissabon war dank Navi sehr einfach. Das Haus liegt in einer ruhigen Straße. Ist gut geschützt durch hohe Hecken. Das Mietauto kann innerhalb stehen. Eine große Küche mit allem was mach braucht. Schön wäre, wenn zumindest Streichhölzer für den Gasofen da gewesen wären. Ansonsten findet man in der Küche nichts von den Vormietern. Großer Tisch innen zum sitzen. Leider ein paar kaputte Stühle. Wir haben uns mit den Terrassenmöbeln beholfen. Die hohe Luftfeuchtigkeit hängt leider im Haus und in den Möbeln. Wir haben fast nichts in die Schränke. Die Kinderbetten waren okay. Ansonsten eher durch gelegene Spannplatten. Den klassischen Lattenrost gibt es nicht. Der Pool wird einmal die Woche gereinigt. Das Haus auch nach einer Woche. Der Kontakt zum Ansprechpartner vor Ort war sehr gut. Geht alles auf englisch und über WhatsApp gut zu erreichen. Janas hat zwei kleine Supermärkte, in den bekommt mal alles. Bäcker, Metzger und ein paar Lokale. ALDI und Co sind mit dem Auto zu erreichen. Sintra alleine bietet viele Ausflugsziele und die kleinen Buchten und Strände sind ein Traum. Lissabon ist gut über Sintra mit dem Zug zu erreichen.

Maison bien équipée mais attention à la météo dans ce secteur

Maison ancienne très agréable, Bien équipée ( barbecue, wifi, transat, machine à laver etc etc) a proximité des commodités ( restaurant, churasqueira, supérette...). Par contre climat très variable car a proximité de sintra et de la mer... entre 8 et 10 degrés de moins qu a lisbonne... donc eau de piscine froide et 20 degrés le soir max...

Great place in a quiet little town

We had a wonderful time at this place. Its a well appointed house in a quiet little town. Great pool, kitchen and space. Excellent for a couple of families with kids.

6/10 Okay

It was a nice property that suited our needs as a family of seven perfectly.

Our biggest disappointment was on our arrival we had no means of lighting the gas hob as no lighter or matches available. Also we had no water for over 24 hours. With 3 small children and no means of cooking , washing or flushing the toilet it was a dissapointment. We had to eat out. I thought some compensation should have been offered for this great inconvenience
