We spent 10 days in Duarte's house in June 2019. Duarte met us at the house and showed us around which was great. The house has absolutely everything. Plenty of towels and kitchen utensils. The pool was lovely and big, but we didn't get to use it as much as we thought, as weather wasn't great. There are beach towels and beach umbrellas readily available. The nearby beach is lovely and very clean and plenty of parking. There are plenty of other beautiful beaches all within 20 minutes drive. We had hired a car so transport was no problem for us. The Portela da Sintra is only 20 minutes away with local trains running into Lisbon city every 30 minutes. You can also catch a local bus 433 to the historical centre of Sintra from here. Duarte was always contactable immediately (we had a small issue trying to change the gas). He gave us plenty of tips and advice. The local Pizza restaurant (Dona Azeitona)is lovely and staff are very friendly, but go early as it is full by 8pm. All in all it's a great location and a home away from home. Thanks Duarte.
