Garden, near the beach, car essential

The hudge, peaceful garden will be a delight for the whole family, the only sound being the birds singing. Inside, the very pleasant living/dining room has a fire, making it ideal for cooler evenings. The whole house has a lovely feeling of a true family home which is perfect for the summer, as well as the cooler months.

Enjoyable but a disappointing start

We enjoyed the property with the large pool and garden. The house is rather dated but was pleasant and the kitchen well equipped. The reason for the low ratings is that on arrival we found the house to be very damp smelling. The kitchen equipment all needed cleaning as did the garden furniture. The bbq was filthy as was the pool. We had no arrival instructions. Francisco was helpful but very slow in responding. It would have helped enormously to have written instructions not having to endlessly ask questions. The house felt like we were the first people of the season arriving although it was August. Once the pool was cleaned and we had cleaned all the crockery, cutlery and garden furniture we began to enjoy our holiday. A few things to note. The second bunk ladder is broken and we found this outside, the towels definitely need replacing. No swimming towels were provided but we found these in various cupboards. Please don’t get me wrong. We had a good holiday but were very frustrated with simple things that could have been improved.

Lovely week in a beautiful area!

We recently spent a week here (2 families of 4 with children aged 10-13) & had a lovely time overall.The house is in a stunning location, is clean & well equipped, close to the village & amenities. Pine trees provide shade & the pool & table tennis were very well used.A few things to note: we received no check in info & wrongly assumed we would be met at 4pm; this was not the case & we were not able to easily contact Francisco. He called us back at 6:08pm to tell know where the keys were.He apologised as he mistakenly thought he had told us (our mistake in not checking but equally someone should be able to take a call when new guests check in).An important point to note is that the property is not wheelchair accessible as stated. One of our family members is disabled & whilst not a wheelchair user, a walk-in shower is preferred. The walk in shower door in this house is incredibly difficult to open even for someone with no disability. The door gets stuck on the floor and can only open around 30-40cm at a push. The bidet would also obstruct getting a wheelchair in.There are also steps down into the living area.The pool is big & clean but the floor is damaged in places with sharp edges.It would be helpful to have an info file saying when to expect the pool cleaner & which light switches operate which lights - it was a puzzle! The bunkbed room needs new linen & pillows.On our last day the cleaners arrived at 9:45am despite checkout being 11am. But we did have a really great week!

Amazing property and fantastic area

We had a fantastic stay. The house was so well equipped, with everything you could need. The kids loved the pool and playing table tennis. The property was a short walk to Praia das Maçãs beach (about 30 minutes with small children) with a great beach and lots of places to eat. Would highly recommend this property, not only a grwat property in a beautiful area but host, Fransico, responding in timely way to any queries. Thank you for a fantastic stay.

Fantastic holiday

We had a fantastic holiday in Banzao, Corales. One of the best holidays we have had as a family . We were so happy in Francisco’s fantastic house. The house really fit our needs, and the added bonus of the pool and beautiful trees made it even better. Thank you for a wonderful stay. I hope we will be back!

Tolles Großes Haus im Pinienwald

Wir waren vier Wochen zu zwölft (Alter: 7 bis 70 Jahre) in dem tollen Haus von Francisco. Die Lage ist ganz fantastisch mitten in einem Pinienwald. Es duftet herrlich. Der Pool ist riesig – wir hatten alle viel Spaß damit. Zum nächsten Strand kann man auch laufen, circa 30 Minuten. In der Umgebung gibt es viel zu unternehmen… Und es gibt ohne Ende tolle Strände zu erkunden. Ein Surfer Paradies. Es wird garantiert nicht langweilig. Wir hatten zweimal kleinere Probleme mit dem Haus – die Kommunikation mit Francisco war super schnell und gut und die Probleme wurden sofort behoben. Dankeschön für den tollen Aufenthalt!

Uma estadia espetacular desde o início ao fim.

Simplesmente fantástico, uma pérola, uma casa antiga recuperada com um misto de decoração a meu ver perfeita, quartos super confortáveis e muito bonitos, assim como toda a casa no geral. Tendo que realçar a simpatia e a disponibilidade do Sr. Francisco que nos recebeu e nos pôs como em casa.

Agréable maison au charme rustique

Nous avons passé un bon séjour. La maison est confortable et vraiment vaste. Les équipements ménagers sont un peu vetustes mais en état de marche. La piscine est vaste et située dans un grand jardin. Beaucoup de beaux villages à visiter dans les alentours et des plages de surf. Il y a semble t il un micro climat dans cette très jolie région. Les températures sont de 4/5 degrés inférieures à celles de Lisbonne ce qui peut parfois être un atout... À noter qu il faut quand même 45 min en voiture pour rejoindre le centre de Lisbonne

Fajne miejsce dla grupy przyjaciół, dużej rodziny.

Było super choć pogoda nie specjalnie rozpieszczała, fajne miejsce wypadowe na wycieczki i na okoliczne plaże, a przy tym spokój i cudowny zapach roślinności. Sprzęty trochę zużyte można by pomyśleć o wymianie . ale ogólnie ok.

Hallo Wir waren für 14 Tage dort und hatten eine gute Zeit. Das Haus entspricht der Beschreibung. Küche ist gut ausgestattet. Kanne der Kaffeemaschine war leicht undicht, konnte aber benutzt werden. Einmal pro Woche kommt jemand den Pool kontrollieren und reinigen. Bettwäsche und Handtücher wurden ebenfalls nach einer Woche getauscht. Betten sind sehr hart. Zum Strand läuft man ca 20-25 Minuten. Zum Supermarkt Atlantico ebenfalls. Ist gut ausgestattet inclusive Metzger. Der Imbiss nebenan an ist sehr empfehlenswert. Essen kann man auch mitnehmen. Möchte man andere Strände besuchen ist ein Auto von Vorteil. Wir haben meist ein Taxi gerufen. War nicht immer ganz einfach je nach Auslastung des Taxi Unternehmens. Sind aber immer weg gekommen. Sintra und Lissabon geht sehr gut mit Bus und Bahn. Später haben wir einen privaten Tourguide gebucht. Empfehle Hugo Martins. Er Hat einen Minivan für 8-9 Personen. Sehr ehrlich, zuverlässig und hat Spaß an seinem Job. Telefon +351 918688213. Unser Vermieter war auch stets hilfsbereit.

Beautiful house in a quite forest

This is a large, spacious house well suited for a family or for a group of friends. A really private and quiet place.The interior is lovely and the kitchen is equipped for cooking for many persons. The garden is huge, there is a lovely pool we used every day. Our teenagers played football and there is a table for ping-pong, which was in almost continual use. The gorgeous beach Praia da Maca is only a 15 min walk away, and there is a supermarked in Colares, a 3 minute drive with the car. I absolutely recommend to bring a car! There endless possibilties for excursions nearby, here are some of the things we did: sightseeing at the castles of Sintra, rock climbing in Sintra, swimming and eating out in Cascais, visiting Lisbon Zoo and the aquarium, shopping at Colombo shopping center, excursion to Cabo da Roca and Praia da Ursa, walking on the beaches and cliffs nearby. The beaches in this area are spectacular! Mr. Uva, the proprietor, is very friendly and helpful and always answers the phone or messages immediately. I can really recommend vacation in those beautiful surroundings!

Nice and spacious house in the woods of the Sintra-Colares National Parc...

Good house for a two weeks vacation with a bigger family. Room for 6 adults and 4 kids. Several castles, restaurants, palaces and beautiful beaches within driving distance (10 - 20 min.) Ocean a bit chilly, but close to lisbon (40 min.). Car or scooter needed. Kitchen and electronical devices could be renewed in the time to come. 4 baths with solid quality. Easy and supportive communication with the landlord. "Gerne wieder einmal!"
