We were welcomed by Pedro upon arrival and shown around the property. Later in the evening Pedro took us to the local supermarket so we could get some supplies for the first days. He also drove us around the immediate neighbourhood showing the nearby beaches and making some restaurant suggestions. He even took the time to arrange us a table at a restaurant by the beach and picked us up after we finished dinner.

Nothing but praise for the hosts and the chalet. We were lucky to have the furthest chalet on the property with unobstructed views of the Pena palace and Moorish castle.

The entire domain is well maintained and Pedro and his family were always available for questions and provided some great restaurant suggestions.

Locationwise this place is great if you want to hit the beaches or visit Sintra (beware that during the summer months we found the Sintra to be nearly impossible to reach by car due to traffic on wednesdays, go there early!). Lisbon and Cascais are not too far away (30 mins Cascais, 45 Lisbon) but the first part of your trip will be on winding hillside roads which, while offering stunning views, can be slow.

If we visit this region again, we'll certainly stay here again.
