We absolutely loved our stay at Barca Charm House! 5 of us stayed for a week (4 adults and 1 toddler), and we all had a relaxing and fun time.
Sandra and Eduardo are wonderful hosts and are great communicators, giving us lots of recommendations of local things to do.
The location is about a 5 minute drive to the local beaches and about 15-20 min to Sintra and all the sites (Pena Palace, etc...)
The house itself has been refurbished to a high standard with all 'mod cons' without losing any of the character of a period property. The rooms are all individually decorated with a lovely and comfortable style. We spent most of the time outside by the pool and eating in the outside kitchen area (perfect!). The children's area (sandpit and play area) was an amazing addition for my 2yr old niece and gave the adults a chance to relax by the pool while she kept herself entertained :)
This is definitely a holiday home we would love to come back to time and time again!
