I stayed here for a week during my travels around Europe, and it was the best place I stayed. The house feels just like your family home and you feel as though you are one of the family. Ba, the grandmother, makes delicious breakfasts with homemade cakes, marmalade, bread, cheese, ham, and, of course, coffee and tea. The cakes are to die for! The rooms are cozy and well-appointed with en-suite bathrooms and beautiful views of the countryside. The house and huge garden are beautiful; it is a traditional Portuguese home and a living room just for the guests. Isabel, the host, is one of the kindest, calmest individuals you could meet, and she strives to provide you anything and everything you need to have a memorable, happy experience. You are in a residential area, but just a five minute walk away from the gorgeous Praia Grande and a short drive from numerous stunning, non-touristy beaches. Isabel set-up a night hike on the full moon for me with Casais Routes. The guide, Joao, was awesome and knew so much about the area. He even offered to take just me if no one else was interested! And, you MUST go to Sintra and explore the plethora of castles, palaces, gardens, convents, etc. Sintra is by far the most mystical, magical place I have ever been. Every place you visit is like a scene out of a movie. I cannot imagine a better place to stay and explore one of the most beautiful places in the world. BOOK IT NOW!…
