Family House, halfway Lisbon/Fatima, lovely garden, private pool

We loved this house - really big and spacious with everything you might need and a beautiful pool and garden. João was the perfect host and greeted us on arrival (with an amazing cake). The house is well positioned for day trips to Lisbon, Cascais and the wild Atlantic coast including the westernmost point of mainland Europe. The village is sleepy but has both a good restaurant, a coffee bar (don’t miss the pastel de nata) and a well stocked supermarket 3 mins drive or about 20 mins walk from the house. But we mostly enjoyed chilling out by the pool and relaxing. We all had a great time - thank you Joao!

Beautiful house, very neat and clean. Much bigger than it shows in photos and the garden is even more beautiful in real life. We even had our own vegetable garden and fruit trees. Everything you needed was there - we could not find any faults. The house stayed cool in hot days, the pool was clean, big and refreshing. Bed rooms were quiet and kitchen was large and you found everything for cooking etc. You will need a car to go to shops and restaurants but everything is anyway near. The host, João, was extremely helpful and very nice. we even got little gift for my birthday from him. We would happily recommend this place to everyone. Best holiday home we ever had stayed +++

Our party of 10 were thrilled to stay in this pretty, super-clean and spacious property. We were humbly welcomed by the owner, Joao, who is a total gentleman and only wanted the best for our stay. Nothing was too much trouble to ask from him and his nephews. The property has wonderfully peaceful surroundings, a beautifully tended garden and veg plot (by the lovely & cherry Deolinda) and a good sized inviting pool. The kids enjoyed all the nooks and crannies to explore the sprawling landscape as well as the use of the pool toys/floats/noodles. Not forgetting the Dogs, Spike and Brownie - oh how they were doted on and cuddled, daily. They are kenneled and looked after by carers but you can release them if you are dog lovers. The kitchen has everything you could want for and is fully equipped. It was the heart of the home, for us. We made full use of that as we were entirely self catering although there are a couple of eateries in the local village as well as a little shop that has all the basics you might need including a butcher, fresh rolls and groceries. The rooms were cool and comfortable to sleep with the option of air con and/or extra blankets if you needed them. Towels are provided plus pool towels which helps reduce weight in your baggage. Plus. With the access to a washing machine, you can clean your clothes throughout your stay; again, reducing your packing of many clothes! Asked if we would choose this property again? ABSOLUTELY YES!

Lovely Easter stay with a warm welcome from the host on arrival. Property felt like home away from home and the pool was a big success with the kids. All facilities and equipment were stocked and readily available.Enjoyed some lovely BBQs and outdoor dining. Only slight downside was the neighbours dogs barking during the nights. Big thank you to the host and Deolinda for making us feel so welcome. Would love to return soon.
