Patricia says: "The property is lovely, quite large, with a spectacular view and wonderful pool. The amenities were perfect as was the size of the house. We had 9 there and had no problem with crowding of any kind. The people who helped out with the cleaning and the outside were delightful and helpful. While a little off the beaten track, 30 minutes from Sintra and 30 minutes from Lisbon made it an ideal location. The village it is in is lovely with a small bar/grocery store within walking distance. Again, highly recommended."
