We stayed for a week, 4 adults, 1 baby (11 months old), and the house was great. Very clean, big rooms, large pool table, lots of space, nice outdoor area for cooling off in the pool or having a barbecue. The immediate area has a small amount going on, so a car is dehinitely recommended- Cascais and Sintra are short drives away. We walked to the beach and it took about 25 minutes (with a baby in a buggy - not the best idea because there are not many pavements). I hate to be a Brit complaining about cups of tea, but one slight issue is that there is only a very small kettle! Otherwise the house is brilliant, and Carmen is a great host. Thank you very much!
