Jose was a great host – perfect at communicating pre and post booking. The house was a proper home, very traditional. You can tell the family had enjoyed many holidays there, which was lovely. Plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms and space, there were 9 of us staying there and never felt cramped, quite the opposite. The pool was lovely and the tennis court was great. So many lovely places to chill out and read a book.
The house is actually nicer than in the photos, we were all quite surprised by how gorgeous it was.
The nicest restaurants all required cars but would be no more than 4 euros in an Uber (crazy that you can get Uber there).
We had a slight issue with the hot water in the Annex – I should have told Jose sooner as the plumber couldn’t come until after we left. But there were plenty of other bathrooms to use with good facilities.
There isn’t much going on in the village which is walking distance (a few cafes and supermarkets) but so many beaches to check out and Sintra is close by with all good transport links.
Thanks Jose for letting us use your lovely villa for the week 
