We spent a fantastic 10 days in Filipe's beautiful villa and we were so sad to leave. The apartment is a great size for families with a great living area as well as spacious bedrooms, garden and patio area. The pool upstairs is breathtaking and has additional seating and dining space overlooking the gorgeous views of the Sintra hills. Although a car is definitely required for staying in this location, Guincho beach is only a short walk away. Cascais is a short drive away with plenty of restaurants. Sintra and Lisbon are also close by and well worth a visit. Filipe and his family are lovely and very welcoming hosts who leave you with full privacy but are always available if you need to speak with them. We unexpectedly arrived in the middle of the night due to some delays at airport but this was no problem for Filipe, we were so grateful for his understanding. We fell in love with Teddy their Pyrenese mountain dog, he was very gentle with my 15 month old who loved having him around for cuddles!
