Our stay at Pedro and Luisa's chalet was lovely. The house and location was soothing, restful, and their hospitality was really wonderful.
The chalet/cabin was cozy, very well kept, and felt immediately like a place we wanted to stay for many weeks.
It is one of two they have side by side.
The chalet/cabin is surrounded by fruit and flowering vegetation, and the sense of privacy this provides is good. Still there are views on clear days all the way to Sintra; and on foggy days, the sense of mystery is beautiful as clouds cover the nearby mountain.
We used the excellent swimming pool on warm/sunny days. It is large enough to swim short laps, the water was comfortable [in July] and perfect to teach one of our young kids how to swim, venturing into the deep end.
The pool is a 30 second walk up a private path from the 'chalet'. The property has several fruit trees. Great for kids and grownups to observe.
The general location is perfect for folks who want a short drive to lovely nearby beaches such as Praia Adraga; the nearby town Almocageme [15 minutes walk, 2 mins by car] for shopping, cafes, dining, stores; there are a number of excellent restaurants within minutes by car or foot; and a really fabulous weekend farmers market which we enjoyed. Of course slightly longer jaunts by car take one to Sintra, or back to Lisbon.
We really hope to come back next year!
