What can I say about this villa? The pictures do not do it justice. It is stunning and has everything you could want or need for your stay. The pool and garden area are perfect for letting off steam and energy, the kitchen is equipped with everything you could ever want to whip up some amazing dishes. After reading other people's reviews we found out we could have a local lady called Fatima cook for us for a very reasonable price. I would recommend having her cook at least once, we did on the day we arrived and as we were broken and tired from a music festival it was a great decision. Fatima does not speak English but leave her with the food and she will whip up a storm of edible delights and be gone as though she had never been there to begin with. Her food was delicious and very much appreciated and allowed us all to relax and get settled in. The bedrooms are comfortable and there is a good number of bathrooms that mean that all guests shared with a maximum of 3 other people during their stay. The chill out areas were spacious and allowed us to enjoy our time together during different points of the day. There was a massage chair that I had to be peeled off of as it was too comfortable and other guests wanted a go, there were a few English tv film channels which was useful as it hammered it down with record amounts of rain during parts of our stay and this allowed us to relax and sit down after a heavy weekend of dancing. We did have one small issue when we got locked out of the external bedroom and Joao was very apologetic and understanding and had the issue fixed quickly. Joao and Margarida were very welcoming, friendly and attentive but also respected our privacy during our stay. I cannot thank them enough for the use of their stunning villa and we look forward to returning again next year to make more memories. There is a small local shop about 10 minute walk away that sells fruit, veg, meat, frozen items, tea coffee, alcohol, household essentials. It has a small choice of everything you need and was a lifeline for us as we did not have vehicles to travel further and our shop for 16 people was eaten quickly. Walk further down the hill and you come to the beach with a pretty sandy cove and a few fresh fish restaurants who were polite and helpful. We only got down there on our last day due to the weather but if you have longer than 4 days and the weather allows for you to get there I recommend it. The tram was a running joke, only operational fri-sun off season roughly every hour but we waited 1hr 45min with no sign of it so jumped on the first bus we saw and went to Sintra...
