About this property
A 3 Storey Country House Nestled in 10 Hectares of Woodland
Secluded in a forest of its own, Quinta da Boiça offers you a peaceful and private refuge in the heart of Portugal’s enchanting Sintra World Heritage Cultural Landscape. The house belonged to the Franciscan monks and is in fact an ancient hermitage transformed into a home over the last decades. From every window of the house a particular view opens before your eyes, and every shade of green is offered by the multiple varieties of trees, shrubs and bushes extending to the far off horizon of the distant coastline. Breathtaking views of Monserrate Palace and Pombal Manor House can also be enjoyed from various points of the Quinta.
This property with 10 hectares of woodland, ideal for hiking, walking or simply relaxing, is only 30 minutes from Lisbon airport, 15 minutes walk to Sintra historical centre with its collection of palaces, castles and manor houses, and in another 15 minutes you can find yourself in the colourful busy seaside towns of Estoril and Cascais with their lovely beaches, restaurants, shops and famous casino.
The house can be described as a 3 storey cottage comfortably furnished with period antiques and modern amenities. It has a large high ceiling living-room, 2 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms and a kitchen with all the modern appliances. There is a sofa bed in the large living room allowing for five people in total to use the house. Far from the stress and hectic routine of everyday life, Quinta da Boiça offers you sanctuary and peace making your stay a veritable holiday.

Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Marta Soares
We are 2 sisters Cristina and Marta and we enjoy sharing our property with our guests. It is a very special area of woodland - in fact we can say that we have our own forest. We strive to keep the flora and the little fauna there is in its habitat using only bio products to maintain our trees and shrubs healthy. Since the house is not very big, it is not easy to maintain our forest but that is our passion. The days we spend here with our family give us peace and serenity for days ahead and we hope the same will apply to you.
Why they chose this property
Quinta da Boiça has been in our family for 4 generations. We inherited the property from our mother, our grandmother before and our great grandfather - William Lawrence Oram, who purchased it from the Cook family of Monserrate Palace. He was their ship chandler and property manager for some years. You can see views of Monserrate Palace from Quinta da Boiça.
We took over the Quinta in 2007 and have been renting to our guests in order that we are able to preserve this indigenous forest with its mixture of ancient trees and variety of bushes and shrubs. It is quite unique in its variety and we have endeavoured to keep it so, avoiding eucalyptus and acacias and cherishing the pine, cork , cedar, oak, walnut etc trees that you will be able to see on your walks inside the Quinta.
