This place is magical. It is in an ideal location because it is a little town not far from Sintra and Cascais. We loved the little town..we became friends with the butcher, visited the supermarket daily, and ate hot dogs with the locals in the main plaza. There is a beach about a kilometer away that, despite its large waves, is a tranquil beach tucked away from the crowds.
The house itself couldn't be more perfect. The patio is the highlight for sure. The view is spectacular, morning or night! The house feels like a home and looks just like the pictures. The kitchen is well stocked, probably one of the best airbnb kitchens we've used. It is the only place that has ever had things such as containers to store food, ice packs, and aluminum foil. It made picnicking very easy! There are other nice touches too, like an umbrella for the beach and a grill.
Mario was such a great host. He let us check in early, left us a bottle of wine, and checked in on us a couple of times.
We highly recommend this place and this area of Portugal.
