This experience is amazing! I couldn't describe in words how grateful I feel for this experience, Joana is the best host, she really cares about you and really makes you feel welcome, she is always respectful and nice. The place is wonderful and it's perfect to explore Sintra, Cascais, Lisbon and a lot of beautiful places like Praia do azenhas do mar.

I had such a great time, it was exactly what I needed! If you are looking for a place to relax, go to the beach, have some alone time but also breathtaking nature and sights - Look no further! Joana, the manager of the airbnb side of the property, is so kind, works so hard and truly cares that you have a good experience. The owners are also super nice, laid back people. The work was easy, just a bit of housekeeping and weeding for 12h a week, so you have a lot of free time! And your room, own bathroom, shared kitchen are great! Would always go back!!
