Myself and 16 of my friends recently stayed at Paulo’s place for a week. The property was plenty big enough for the group, with 4 twin rooms, 2 doubles and an attic dorm.
The two living spaces were good if people wanted to do different things, and the games room was great for the evenings.
The downstairs kitchen was ok, although did not have many amenities, which meant we mostly used the upstairs kitchen, which wasn’t too big for such a large group. However the outside BBQ and fridge freezer meant this didn’t effect our stay too much.
The dishwashers, fridge freezers and washing machine were all good sizes and suitable for such large groups.
The outside area is fantastic, with plenty of sports equipment and space to eat outside. We paid extra to have the pool heated which is 100% a necessity as the area is surprisingly cool and was overcast for most of our stay.
We would recommend hiring a car for your stay, as we didn’t and it meant we spent a lot on Uber’s to reach Lisbon, local beaches and large supermarkets. As the area is quite residential taxis often took a while to reach us, so a car would have been perfect.
Paulo offered us plenty of activities before and during our stay, and was really helpful in advising us on our stay. He communicates very quickly and was welcoming upon our arrival.
Check in was at 5pm due to the large size of the villa that needs to be cleaned, although Paulo offered for us to leave our baggage at the villa before this time, which was very helpful and accommodating.

You can reach the local beaches in 15 minutes, or warmer ones about 30 minutes drive away. You can also reach Lisbon in 35 minutes, which had a lot better weather and plenty of things to do!
Overall we had a lovely trip and the villa was a good base from which to explore Lisbon and the surrounding areas.
