I just loved the house and would recommend it to everyone going to Sintra area. The house looks exactly as good and authentic as on the pictures. Our group enjoyed the wide kitchen and living space and the garden with pool area. The bedrooms are smaller but also okay.
What makes the house special are its hosts Teresa and Manel whose cooperation with the owner Chico makes your holiday special - I wasn´t expecting that warm welcome and surprisingly nice table set with local delicacies. In addition, Teresa had made an organic soup as we arrived late with 1- and 4-year old babies. And Manel had took care of child security gates etc which even would not have been necessary as the children are not that small anymore. In addition Teresa gave her best to give us advice on where to go, what to do and what to eat at local towns and villages.
The area is nice - you should definately visit Sintra and Cascais and drive longside the ocean coast between those. There are perfect spots for surfers but also for families with children. You will definately need car when renting the house and it is a little bit confusing to find it with GPS, so better use the tips that the owners send before you arrive. We were counting on GPS as it is easier that way when its dark outside, but became lost and needed some local help :)
The house is perfect for 3 families. We were 4 adults and 2 children, so didn´t even use 2 of the bedrooms.
