We were a family of 14 adults and 4 kids (3 years and under) staying for 1 week at the beginning of October. The house was spacious, well furnished throughout, clean and had all the amenities you would expect. There was a well equipped kitchen on the lower and upper floor which proved to be of great benefit.
Despite the size of our group, we never felt cramped or struggled with sharing the bathrooms (for those who didn't have an ensuite).
The beds were comfortable and we slept well throughout our stay.
The garden area was perfect for us, as there was a kids sandpit, kids castle playhouse and the pool provided hours of fun. The shed at the back had lots of toys for the pool and sandpit, which was an unexpected bonus. The BBQ was brilliant and having the outside fridge/freezer and toilet was fantastic!
The location was perfect, very short walking distance (5 mins walk with toddlers) to the local supermarket, bank, a restaurant and the tram stop. The beach was a short tram ride away, which I actually ran to in around 20 mins and others walked to in 40mins.
Sintra was an easy tram or uber/taxi ride and was stunning.
I had my 3 year old and 1.5 year old and the best part for me was seeing them run and play freely in the garden and around the house, so much space and I was always able to easily see them no matter where I was.
Paulo was an amazing host, who went above and beyond to answer lots of questions and help us make the most of our time there. There was one night we had an issue with one of the showers and wanted additional pillow cases and he had someone out to assist within an hour.
We all had an amazing time and we have already recommended The Yellow House to others. FANTASTIC
