Our family had a great time at Jennifer's house. The house itself is really nice with all the things you could want on a day to day basis. The surroundings are very peaceful and the decking and pool area make for a very good space to relax or eat. The house is located on the edge of the village and you can walk to the shop or the beach, though someone with very young children or less mobility might need a car. We hired a car and visited several beaches along the coast - all of which were beautiful - as well as Sintra which was fun. The beach in the village itself is small but it's a beautiful setting and the bar/restaurant create a nice location to watch the sun go down. We would very happily stay here again.
