“Thank you Ralph for the wheelchair you are a genius!
We will have to try Portugal again in season and without an unexpected broken ankle.
I also appreciated the heavenly bed pillow under my ankle at night.”

“We were a group of 10 from the north east of Scotland. We had an excellent here in superb weather.
The villa met all our needs and was very comfortable.
We would recommend – Nautilus restaurant in Praia das Macas for excellent food at reasonable cost. House wine very palatable.
– Nortada restaurant in the next village.
– Azenhas do Mar restaurant, 5 mins on bus.
– Outings to Sinta, Lisbon, Cascais & Estoril.
In Sintra we would especially recommend Qunita da Regaleira, Pena Palace and the Moorish castle.
Thanks to Ralph for his help and advice.”

House was a great home to which return

“Great time for our group of nine,
Warm days, cool nights – Day trips to Lisbon, Sintra, palaces, monasteries – House was a great home to which return – Thanks from all of us.”

One minor detail, we missed mattresses on the sun loungers.
Thank you for your hospitality”

We drank the little shop dry!

“Two weeks just isn’t long enough to see and do everything although we tried our best. We did manage to get to Lisbon (by bus & train – quite easy) Cascais and of course to Sintra. There was also the beach, both the village beach as we called it, “Big Beach” or Praia Grande. But there was always time for a swim in the pool. The kids have loved the playground & the stream on the left hand side of the village beach & the grown ups have enjoyed the “Don Simon Sangria”, So much so that we drank the little shop dry!
We had barbecues & sat out in the evening to watch the sunsets.
So I think that we’ve had a great time all round. This is a fab villa and we’d love to come back again – Lets hope that if we do, they get more sangria in!!”
