This villa is idyllic, authentic, spacious and really did cater for our every desire on holiday. I’m going to try to be informative rather than just waxing lyrical about how much we enjoyed it! Firstly it’s easy to find but you do need a car at all times. It’s large and very well equipped, the kitchen especially is well provisioned. The welcome spread provided by Theresa and Manuel, was wonderful, such an indulgent, welcome surprise. The meditation/yoga/reading mezzanine made me so happy. The bedrooms have fans, much needed.
Outside the views are magnificent. Laying in the hammocks relaxing is bliss. The outdoor dining table (complete with beautiful flowers) is set in the perfect space for shade and views. Down the path to the pool, much bigger than the pictures, surrounded by beautiful gardens is the entrance to the very large garden with vegetables, fruit trees ( yes you can help yourself) and chickens.
There are two large supermarkets very close by. Our favourite places to visit were Lisbon, Sintra, Cascais and Praia Grande. Everything we wanted to do, restaurants, sightseeing, beach, and shopping was all under 45 minutes drive. For me this makes the villa in the perfect location to return to and relax after a busy day or evening out. Theresa looked after us so well, leaving treats throughout our visit, and giving us contact details for anything we needed. If you want to totally relax, be able to enjoy close by city life and have space to indulge this is the villa for you.
