Marta's villa and our experience with the host, is in one word FANTASTIC. The villa is grand, spacious and very well equipped. huge garden with sun exposure but also lots of shade due to mature trees. very private and quite, but yet only a few minutes walk for groceries and some restaurants. opposite the house is a tennis court and horse riding facilities. and a great bicycle shop. we love the location so much as it is on the edge of the famous Sintra - Cascais National Park and it is an easy 20 mnts walk via a great valley trail to one of the best surfing beaches in the area; Praia do Guincho. the best however, are the hosts. Marta and her husband are extremely helpful and the kindest hosts we have ever met. we moved with our family to Portugal and Marta made the start of our new life a great experience. i would recommend this unique house to anyone without a single negative comment !!!! thanks a million Marta for having our family enjoying your beautiful villa !!!!
