My son and I had an absolutely awesome stay at Susan's place for a month during lockdown here, so good that we extended for another four months. Susan and her mother Paula are wonderful hosts who live in the other house on the farm. Where could I start about the things that make this quinta a great place to stay on ? Lovely big house with wood fire in living room, artwork by Susan herself, big kitchen with all the amenities and tools that I needed to do some great cooking. Great ping pong table in the woodhouse. A massive farm which includes lemon, grapefruit and mandarin trees, and parsley which you can pick for your cooking. There are also avocado trees when in season. You can disappear up the hill for a picnic under the pine trees. You really don't feel like going out which is why it was perfect for lockdown ! But when that's all over, it's not really very far by car from Sintra, Cascais or Lisbon. Susan and Paula have 3 dogs who also became our friends and are quite comfortable to come to the door of our house and even inside for some attention and a stroke. If you love nature, space, tranquility and also having the sociable feeling of having your host living close to you, then I think that you will love this place !
