About this villa rental
Very attractive private family-home villa with pool, within 10-15 minutes drive to five lovely beaches (with great surfing) and various golf courses & tennis. The villa is set in its own large garden, with a fantastic location on the lower slopes of the hills running up from the sea, with a marvellous view up to the wooded mountain of Sintra. The villa is large, with lovely spacious living rooms, with a lawn, a big terrace and its own sheltered swimming pool.
- The house is 45 minutes drive from Lisbon and Lisbon airport and is 15 minutes from the historic town of Sintra and from various beautiful palaces. Tennis courts, mountain biking, golf courses and riding facilities are also all within 15 minutes drive. There are many great restaurants nearby, especially for seafood.
- The Sintra region is one of the most interesting in Portugal, with castles, palaces and gardens to visit. Overlooking the town are the ramparts of the 8th century Castelo dos Mouros, and the eccentric Pena Palace. The nearby town of Colares is charming, and the exotic gardens and small palace of Montserrat are only 10 minutes away by car.
- The sandy beaches of Sintra's coastline are famous: Praia Grande (great for surfing), Praia das Maçãs, Praia da Adraga, Praiai da Adraga and Magoito (further south), are all from 10 to 20 minutes car trip from the house. There is a big beach called Guincho south west of the house, where the surfing world championships have been held.
- Many superb seafood and other restaurants, especially in Praia das Macas,
- Eight excellent golf courses close by
- Tennis, riding, mountain biking
- Fabulous walks, both along the coastal clifftops and in the hills of Sintra
- Local festivals in the summer in Sintra (arts and music), in Mucifal (local folk festival) and elsewhere
- Best of all, relax by the pool in the villa, with its lawn and breath-taking mountain views
- sleeps 12 plus 1 baby cot provided
** Full information pack provided to enquirers with details of beaches, restaurants, shops etc.

Our family party were celebrating a birthday and we had a fantastic time at Casa do Cedro, the views from the house were lovely, the house was spacious and homely, the location was exceptional. So close to beaches, vineyards, castles and palaces. We could have stayed a month and not have seen enough!

This is a beautiful house in a lovely location with amazing views. Very well equipped with ample cutlery and crockery and all the amenities needed. I would suggest providing fans in the bedrooms as it got very hot - especially upstairs. We could also have done with more sunbeds as there were only 5 for potentially 9 of us..
We were sorry not to go on the tram into Sintra as that would have avoided the high season traffic jams. A car is definitely needed. The beaches were 10-15 minutes away and the beautiful Montserrat Palace and gardens a short drive too. Rui was very helpful and Mark is an excellent host providing very quick answers to my numerous questions.

Not a classic VRBO but you will have been invited into your relative's family home. Designed and built in the 70's with orientation to the Sintra palaces which sparkle at night. Custom built and adorned with antiques and extensive library makes for a restful visit. A couple cautions. The house was built for a typical Portuguese height so there is a dangerous corner in the kitchen and taller ladies needed to bend down when using bathroom mirrors. Also, the VRBO address will not work when using UBER. I requested and received an alternative address from the PM. Last, a more complete visitor guide (eg printed google maps to stores, restaurants, train stations and mosquito prevention tips) would be very useful.

La maison est parfaite car beaucoup d espace et idéale avec les enfants !!
Gros bémol sur la propreté de certaine pièce de la maison et la vaisselle.
Les chiens aux alentours n arrêtent pas d aboyer et nous ont réveillé tous les matins bien dommage.
Sinon le cadre est juste magnifique les extérieurs sont très propres et bien entretenu
