Fantastic place to stay. The flat in itself personal, luxurious and spotless. The gardens are very nice as well. The family stay in the older house next door, and some of the staff stayed in the same house as we did, but in different apartments. The huge garden and pool is shared.
We mostly talked with the very friendly staff. Nicholas seemed very friendly as well.
Much to our surprise a huge breakfast was brougth up every morning.
3 very friendly dogs and a cat was much joy for the kids.
The only thing I missed was a small kitchen, but I knew, and there where coffeemachine, toaster and even a small minibar, and we where much out and about, so it was not a problem.
I can highly recommend a tour around the vineyard combined with winetasting, such a good experience. Pedro was a fantastic guide.
The small restaurant down the street was very good, table reservation is neccesary, at night at least.
Perfectly situated close to the beaches, and the whole Sintra/Colares area.
I first wanted to do our Portugal holiday without a rental car, as distanced seemed short everywhere around the Lissabon area, and public transportation frequent. But I’m so glad we rented one, for the freedom and because the hills are steep, and the roads very narrow to walk. However we did see many busses to Cabo da Roca, Sintra and other places, and the busstop is just down the road. So it is deffinitly a possibility.
