This is a lovely spacious family home set in beautiful gardens with an excellent swimming pool. 12 family members of three generations spent a very happy week here. The house has got everything that you would want and is so roomy we had plenty of space either to congregate together or do our own thing. Our party included five grandchildren (aged 7 to 13) who had a whale of a time. The huge downstairs area provided them with so much freedom for fun and make-believe. Our hosts were charming and helpful and readily available as they live next door. If you tire of self-catering, they will arrange for Fatima to cook an evening meal. We asked for a typical Portuguese spread and it was absolutely delicious. The surrounding countryside is wonderful with some stunning beaches. We enjoyed surf school which was nearby and there is at least one excellent restaurant within walking distance. The local and well-stocked shop is also a short walk away. We thought that Sintra and Cascais were well worth a visit, both a short drive away. All in all, a wonderful week away.
