Belas Rustic Chick

Just a short distance from hiking trails, this family-friendly villa lets you experience it all. Jump into your car and make short work of the 16-minute drive to Avenida da Liberdade or the 12-minute drive to Quinta da Regaleira (and enjoy the property's convenient onsite parking in the meantime). If you're looking to expand your horizons and see other nearby locales, you can catch a train at Mira Sintra-Meleças Station, a short 11-minute walk away.

After you return to this 1195-sq-ft villa, you can unwind by the outdoor pool or sip a drink in the garden; you may also like the deck or patio and outdoor furniture. When you come inside, connect to the WiFi or get cozy in front of the cable/satellite TV (video library available). There's also a DVD player for your enjoyment.

A dining area, a BBQ grill, a fireplace, and a desk are featured at this 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom rental. Bathroom amenities include a hair dryer, towels, and toilet paper. Prepare a home-cooked meal in the kitchen, complete with an oven, a stovetop, and a refrigerator, as well as a microwave, cookware, and a toaster. And you can even travel light because you'll have access to laundry facilities.
