A lovely villa for a family holiday. The pool is huge (and heated), the slide and diving board great fun, and the outdoor kitchen very convenient.Inside, the house was clean, spacious and very comfortable. The host Adelaide is welcoming and friendly, and gave us good tips for the local area.

We loved our stay. It was clean and exactly as pictured. The beds were comfortable and the home is well equipped. The pool was lovely. Check in and out was easy. We will stay again. The only minor issue was the hot tub is showing its age. The hot tub cover and head rests need replacing. The pool cover was not operational so we were asked to keep the pool uncovered. This didn’t bother us in the least. The stay was wonderful.

Peaceful Secluded Oasis

What a lovely stay my family enjoyed in a delightfully secluded area with a stunning view of the mountains. A wonderful, inviting salt water pool, large outdoor kitchen, relaxing living room and all the comforts of home. We had a great time and will cherish the memories forever.

Beautiful house wonderful pool

The house and pool were wonderful for our family of grandparents parents and grandchildren. We had plenty of room for everyone the option for outdoor covered dining was a bonus. The market a short drive away made it convenient to purchase our groceries. The road up to the house is narrow but once there the views are amazing. The swimming pool was outstanding the temperature and buoyancy of the water a delight

A Nice time in a quiet, out of the way part of Portugal

This is a beautiful house with heated floors, a heated pool and a hot tub (and all 3 worked which isn't always the case with a rental). Our 9 year old loved the pool and slide, we all loved barbecuing on the outside fire (you need to go into town to get the briquets) and we loved the spacious well-appointed house. It's on a quiet country road on a tough to navigate turn, but once there it is a little slice of nice. It was central for us as we visited Sortelha, Fatima, the Schist Villages and a River Walk in the nearby mountains for some canyoneering. I could see this being a great chill house for a family reunion or trip.

Lovely time with friends

The conditions of the house are outstanding. The kitchen is fully furnished, which allowed us to cook some delicious dishes for 8. The living room is spacious and the heated floors are heavenly. The property manager is very attentive. We also did a hike in the neighbourhood and it was very pleasant. Overall we had a great experience.

Amazing house with privacy in a beautiful valley

The house is just marvelous, you have all the commoditys you need for a wonderful time off the city. Located in the middle of a valley with wonderful views and a heated pool set for 22 °C that is fresh during the day, and impossible to resist by night. The jacuzzi was also a good place for a drink by night, with an amazing view to the stars in sky. All the information in the description is correct, and there are no bad points to report. The owner is very nice and easy to reach. Supermarket 5 minutes away by car. It was a wonderful week and we can't wait to come back.

Peaceful getaway

Chose this area of Portugal as we wanted somewhere rural and quiet to have a complete break. This villa was perfect for that. Had everything we needed and the pool/outside area was perfect. Pool was a bit cold at the beginning of the holiday but didn't stop us using it. Adelaide who met us at check-in was efficient and very helpful. We contacted her a couple of times and she replied promptly to help. Had some great days out visiting castles, roman ruins and a visit to Tomar. Would recommend if you want a place away from the tourist areas with plenty of culture and a villa to relax in and have a complete 'switch off' Thanks for having us

Wonderful Peaceful Break

We came back to Portugal after four years having spent many years on the Algarve and touring from the far North, through the centre and along the whole coast. We wanted to find a typical, unspoiled area this time and found this lovely villa near Penela. The location, surroundings and countryside are so beautiful and unspoiled. It is Portugal as we remembered it, near to so many lovely places, amazing beaches and fantastic restaurants. Prices are still very good and we had some lovely meals. A notable one at the little bar in the town near Dom Sesnando , on the corner, best meal goat in red wine, pork steaks, chips , carafe of wine and 2 beers, 18 euros. Family owned , very simple, perfect. We barbecued turbot , drank lots of wine, went to the winery in Penela which is also a museum for olive oil production. Worth a visit , tasting with local cheeses , hams and honey. Adelaide , the Manager went out of her way to help and advise us. We can’t wait to go back and sit by the gorgeous pool , sipping wine and listening to nothing but the wind in the pine trees. Your house is lovely Jean.

Amazing views and pool

When we arrived the property manager couldn’t check us in but had left instructions, non of us could work the front door key but it didn’t matter as we used the side door. It’s a lovely big spacious house and the setting is one of the best. Great for staying in and relaxing and also going exploring. Cleanliness was ok, fresh bedding etc but behind sofa’s etc/under things and the BBQ could have been better. We arrived to cheese and wine which was a nice gesture but milk, tea and loo rolls would have been my preference but understandably others maybe prefer the cheese and wine (how ungrateful do I sound). We found the local supermarket pretty quickly and it was very well stocked. The plumbing in the main bedroom down stairs wasn’t great and was linked to a smell outside upon flushing but often find this in foreign properties, though sometimes I could be taking a shower in a tray of water. I didn’t report it at the time so never gave them chance to rectify so it couldn’t have bothered me that much. Don’t leave anything out at night, we left an unopened box of croissants on the side and the box was black with ants when we got up. I was a little apprehensive with the salt water pool not loving the sea but I can’t tell you how amazing and clean the pool was. I have long blond bleached hair and I didn’t need to wash it getting out (if you know you know). It was huge and brilliant. The property is slightly tired in areas but for a holiday let I don’t blame them not constantly replacing things. I also think if the property was brand new we couldn’t have afforded to go. The view was fabulous, and we did have an amazing time. I just couldn’t give a full 5 due to certain things. The property manager always replied in minutes of us contacting her (even if late at night), though sometimes her response felt abrupt to me, but this is just my opinion and could be a difference in cultures. It’s a fantastic base and there is lots to do in the local area. If you have kids look up the tree experts, it’s only 10 mins away. If you like culture Tomar is a must :). Thank you for letting us hire your home, we have made some great memories.

Thank you for your honest but fair review. We are pleased you enjoyed your stay despite a few things not being up to par. We can confirm that the plumbing has now been sorted, the cause of it was a blockage of wet wipes and sanitary products etc. being flushed down by previous occupiers and can only apologise for the inconvenience this caused you. We have taken all of your comments on board and going forwards we hope to rectify all other matters mentioned. Thank you once again for your input which was very much appriciated.

This is now the 4th time our multigenerational family has stayed here. It is a perfect spot for grandparents, parents and grandchildren. The pool was great, and kitchen well quipped. As we were there during the most recent heat wave, the air-conditioning was much appreciated.Adelaide, the local contact is always easy to work with and the owner Jean is very prompt in answering any questions.

Was für ein komfortables und geschmackvoll eingerichtetes Haus. Es liegt äußerst ruhig, in einem winzigen Dorf an einem Hügel. Der gut sortierte Supermarkt in Penela ist nur ca. 3km entfernt. An die schmale Zufahrtstraße zum Haus gewöhnt man sich schnell. Das Haus ist mit allem für den täglichen Bedarf gut ausgestattet. Dies gilt insbesondere für toll eingerichtete Küche. 3 Schlafzimmer haben ein eigenes angeschlossenes Badezimmer. Jedes Schlafzimmer verfügt über eine Klimaanlage, die etwas lauter ist als aktuelle Modelle. Das Haus ist sehr geschmackvoll eingerichtet. Man fühlt sich in jedem Zimmer wohl. In den Betten konnten wir gut schlafen. Nachts ist es einigermaßen ruhig. Vereinzeltes Hundebellen oder auch mal das Krähen eines Hahns am Morgen war nicht wirklich störend für die Nachtruhe. Wer schon einmal erlebt hat, dass wild lebende Hunde einen die ganze Nacht wachhalten können, wird die es hier als angenehm ruhig empfinden. Der Pool und die Außenanlagen sind fantastisch und hat eine Tiefe von zum Teil über 2 Meter. Der Poolbereich wird den ganzen Tag von der Sonne beschienen. Es gibt wertige Außenmöbel. Lediglich der Sonnenschirm, welcher zur Beschattung recht wichtig ist, war vollkommen defekt und müsste dringend ausgetauscht werden. Auch die riesige Garage haben wir sehr gerne genutzt und konnten unsere Ausflüge entspannt in einem kühlen Fahrzeug beginnen. Uns hat der ganz Aufenthalt extrem gut gefallen. Wir haben uns herrlich erholt und jede Stunde genossen.
