“Hi Ralph, The villa is amazing – it’s like living in a castle !
We cycled up the cliffs and all the way to Sintra. And all the way though the forest, every time I thought we couldn’t go “up” anymore we cycled higher ! Almost to the clouds LOL.”

“What can we say ? The villa is AMAZING…
The kitchen is great, full of everything we could need which came in handy with 12 people to feed.
The front garden is beautiful with it’s lovely tree’s and plants.
But staying in your villa really saved our week. We’d just like to say it’s truly “Magnifique”
Thank you so much for thinking of everything that we could need.
You’ve played a big part in making our holiday succeed!”

“The villa is perfect for our large family, young and old alike were thrilled with the pool, comfortable bedrooms and the very well equipped and inviting kitchen.
The area is splendid, we have really enjoyed the wonderful palaces of Sintra, Lisbon’s charm and how nice the Portuguese are.
Thank you for your warm and helpful welcome Ralph, and until next time, perhaps.”

“We spent almost two weeks in Casa da Bia and it was absolutley wonderful! The house was perfect for a family with 2 young children. The baby cots & chairs were perfect, the garden a nice big playground without us having to worry about the children because of the closed gate. It was nice for us to have everything within walking distance from the house (beach, shop, restaurants) so we didn’t have to put the stroller and kids in the car just to grab a cup of coffee. We did however rent a car to see a bit of the beautiful area and we were glad we did because the weather wasn’t always too nice unfortunately. But the kids loved every minute of the holiday and so did we ! Thank you Ralph for this lovely holiday !”

“Had a lovely relaxing week at Casa da Bia. The cottage was perfect, If only a little cold at night (our only complaint). Kitchen was particularly well equipped & outdoor area very safe for the girls to play. Praia das Macas was quiet but that’s not a complaint. Girls had the playground to themselves most mornings, plenty of room on the beach and none of the cafes were too busy – A bonus with a young family. Locals are very friendly. Ralph had lots of suggestions of things to do & places to visit and we’ll have to come back to do them another time because we kept things very simple. This trip – Playground, beach, ice cream & more ice cream !
Only disappointing note was that the tram to Sintra wasn’t in operation while we were here but I guess that’s another reason to make sure we come back”

“We had a fantastic week’s holiday in Casa da Bia in April. The weather was beautiful, the cottage perfect.
Waking up every morning to have late breakfast outside in the sun in our own front garden was a real treat – especially for us city folk! Ralph was a mine of useful info and dead right when he suggested Quinta da Regaleira would be worth a whole day’s visit.
Praia das Macas was charming and everyone in the village friendly to tourists. It’s easy to get a bus to Sintra and then a train ride into Lisbon, and we managed to get taxis back from Sintra on a couple of late nights as Ralph suggested.
We’ll definitely be coming back! “
