It's at the fairy tale castle Pena Palace :). This is one of the lovely close-up views. It's is a Romanticist castle that stands on the top of a hill in the Sintra Mountains. And undoubtedly one of the most iconic places in Portugal. And a dream come true to visit it! It is a national monument and constitutes one of the major expressions of 19th-century Romanticism in the world. The palace is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the Seven Wonders of Portugal. It is also used for state occasions by the President of the Portuguese Republic and other government officials.

Maria and Petra were very responsive to any questions we had and to any needs. We had some travel delays so the check-in process was one I was concerned about however Maria was extremely flexible and met other members of our party who ended up arriving before we did.The weather was a little too cool for us to enjoy the beautiful pool. However the property is pristine and beautiful. The view from the villa to the hillside of Sintra is breathtaking. If we are ever lucky enough to return, we would be looking to see if Maria and Petra’s place is available. ##### Therese R. Stayed 5 nights in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Simon P. 1 Sept 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Our family of four (with two children under 10) recently returned from a fantastic 10-night stay at a beautiful villa in Sintra, and we couldn't have asked for a more perfect holiday. From the moment we arrived, we felt incredibly welcome and safe, which is so important when traveling with young children.The villa itself was a dream come true. The pool was simply fantastic, providing endless hours of fun for the kids and a wonderful place for us to relax and cool off. The garden was a true highlight—lush, beautifully maintained, and a peaceful haven where we could enjoy our morning coffee or an evening drink. Inside, the amenities were excellent; everything we needed was provided, making our stay comfortable and stress-free.One of the best things about the location was how easy it was to explore. We were able to use the Bolt app to get taxis to the local sights in Sintra, making it incredibly convenient to visit the palaces and historic town without any hassle. We also managed a wonderful day trip to Lisbon, which was a fantastic adventure for the whole family.We would highly recommend this villa to any family looking for a relaxing, safe, and truly magical holiday. We've made some wonderful memories and hope to return one day! ##### Simon P. Stayed 10 nights in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Marianne M. 18 Sept 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Perfect location The villa is perfectly located with beautiful views across the valley to the palaces at Sintra (although we did have very misty mornings and evenings during our stay) Quiet and away from the crowds but easy to reach Lisbon and the coast and just book an Uber to get straight to the Pena Palace in the mornings. Easy walk down to the two traditional village restaurants The decor and furnishings in the villa are very traditional, well presented and spotlessly clean. Some areas may need a little updating but there is everything there that you would need and we felt very comfortable The external area is very attractive and well kept with a lovely pool , unfortunately we couldn't make the most of this as the weather although very pleasant wasn't hot enough to warm the pool at all Maria was a very welcoming and helpful host; we very much enjoyed our stay here ##### Marianne M. Stayed 7 nights in Sep 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Katie W. 6 Jun 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Beautiful place We had a lovely stay here. Maria was there to greet us and give us the lay of the house. She was so sweet. The home is quaint and had everything we needed. And when there was a plumbing issue in the upstairs bathroom, she sent someone right away the next day to fix it. She was very responsive on Vrbo messages prior and during the trip. The grounds are stunning and landscaping impeccable. There isn’t a hot tub as the listing states. But the pool is so nice! Overall, we would definitely recommend this house for your Sintra stay. It’s a little removed from the busier parts which we loved, and it only took 6-8 minutes to get an Uber there, so not bad. Uber is readily available everywhere, and downtown old Sintra is the cutest, quaintest place for restaurants, shops, etc and it’s only 10-15 min from this house. We did have to message her and ask her to make up the one single bed my friend stayed in and they came right away the next day to do that. Maria was so friendly and accommodating. She even sent a technician to teach us how to use the fireplace because my mom gets cold and the evening and mornings were chilly in May. Lovely! ##### Katie W.

The listed photos do not do it justice! The villa overlooks all the palaces, which are lit up at night. The villa is the perfect base for visiting all the palaces, beaches and a Lisbon day trip if you wanted. Hire car is essential however uber is very easy and affordable if you want to eat out and drink alcohol. We are a family of four with children of 10 and 7\. Maria is a wonderful host and did everything possible to make our stay comfortable. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/469f7f69-32f2-407c-a327-2139d2f61785-1753104924810.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/6b82cbb8-5bcb-42c0-9f17-bb8ee469fd42-1753104926197.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/6e10742d-4dfe-4099-826e-950d9432a114-1753104926239.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/f38b658e-577b-4575-9d78-4a16f334fcfc-1753104925976.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Shelley M.

The castles and palaces we visited were all within a half hour drive. We visited several beaches that were within 15-20 minute drive. Restaurants were located close by also. The grounds were beautiful, and interesting to explore. The house was decorated lovely, I would not hesitate to stay here again and would recommend it highly.

The view is spectacular. The property is quiet and in a peaceful neighborhood. My boys loved the pool and playing around the grounds. ##### Daniela L. Stayed 14 nights in Aug 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Rob W. 1 Aug 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Absolutely beautiful location. Amazing views The location of the property is amazing, to the north of the Serra Sintra hills so you can see the Moorish Fort, Pena and Monserrate Palaces whilst sitting on the terrace. The pool is huge and great for swimming. Gardens around the house are beautifully tended. The remainder of the 2 hectares is more rural, but nice to explore (if the weather is cooler). You do need a car to stay here as it's quite rural, but close to several small towns/villages. Sintra is only 15 mins by car. The house is large and has all facilities needed. We tended to spend the main part of the day at the house and pool and then visit the historic sites from mid afternoon onwards. Cascais and the beaches are in easy range too. Would fully recommend for a relaxed holiday. ##### Rob W.

The property was clean and spacious, and had everything we needed, the pool was a good size and cleaned during our stay. The gardens were beautiful and there were plenty of chairs and shades for sunbathing. . The views across to the National park were amazing - especially at night. Maria was a delightful host and extremely helpful. There was a generous and very welcome snack on our arrival at midnight! It was a bit fiddly to get to - you would need a car - but only half an hour from Lisbon. Thanks very much. ##### Gill Harley-Mason H.

Het strand met prachtige rotspartijen en leuke strandtentjes ligt op 10 minuutjes rijden. De communicatie verliep prettig en de foto’s op de site geven precies weer zoals de villa is. Met een prachtige tuin omgeven en heerlijk rustig in een stil wat afgelegen dorpje. Prima te bereiken met de auto die je wel nodig hebt aangezien er in de buurt van de villa niets te beleven valt. Deze villa is een zeer fijne plek om vakantie door te brengen. Wij hebben genoten. ##### Hanneke E.

Very quiet location but easy access to Sintra, Lisbon, Estoril and the Atlantic coast. Very friendly and helpful owner and property manager. Thanks for a a great week! ##### edward h.

Wonderful sanctuary from the peak season crowds, fabulous view, beautiful garden, ample accommodation for our party of 6 and large pool. If you want a more rural location but with easy accesses to beaches and Sintra, this is a great place to stay. ##### Robert L.

Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mark T., London 18 Jul 2018 #### Perfect House for us 7 of us (4 adults and 3 teenagers) stayed for a week in July. The house is fabulous and exactly what we needed for a holiday. It is clearly a much loved house for Maria and, as a result, it is a fantastic place to stay. Maria was an excellent host. The kitchen is excellent with a very good range of condiments and basic cooking items. The bedrooms are great. There are two doubles on the lower level which are serviced by two bathrooms. There is a larger bedroom with 3 beds on the upper level with its own bathroom. The grounds are just fantastic. The pool is large and was a perfect size for us. The lawn is luscious and the beautiful gardens are extremely well maintained. There is a fabulous view across to the all the local landmarks (Palacio Pena, Palacio Nacional, Moorish Castle, Quinta De Regaleira, Monserrate, etc) The bonus for us was all the fruit trees. We were encouraged to eat as many apricots as we could, because they were the trees that were in fruit at the time that we were there. I would describe the location as semi-rural since it is on the outskirts of the village of Nafarros. We walked into the two restaurants in village. There is a small supermarket in nearby villages. Sintra is very easy to access (a short drive) and there is a large supermarket there. There is also a large and free carpark at the Portela de Sintra station for access to Lisbon (40 mins by train). The nearby beaches at Praia Grande and Praia das Macas are sandy and clean. We found many good restaurants in the local area. ##### Mark T.

Beautiful home with a fantastic garden and a most charming hostess! Lots of space even for six. The kitchen was wonderful and very easy to work in. Main bedrooms up a short flight of stairs with a bath and a half. The property is centrally located being right between Sintra and all of the wonderful beaches. We were blessed with beautiful weather but it was cool enough that the pool was a bit chilly. We would love to return for a longer stay. ##### Brent M.

Maria a été une hôte parfaite. La maison est t belle, piscine superbe (eau salée). Le jardin est magnifique et t bien entretenu. Largement assez de transats... La vue est ... exceptionelle, sur les palais de Sintra et le parc naturel. On mange des figues et des pommes du jardin. Cuisine t bien équipée, avec Nespresso, quantité d'ustensiles, serviettes de bain - on a trouvé l'équipement parfait. T tranquille (à part quelques jours de fête dans le village voisin, pas très dérangeant). ON reviendra! ##### David S.

The house is very comfortable and well equipped. The location is excellent but in a quiet spot. Conveniently located, within short driving distance from beaches, Sintra, Cascais and Lisbon. The owner, Maria, is a wonderful and helpful host. The garden is gorgeous and well taken care of. The view from the property is second to none! Sitting outside on the porch watching Palacio da Pena and Montserrat in the distance - just spectacular! The pool is clean with enough chairs for everyone to relax. There are plenty of towels for pool use. The house does not feel like a rental but it really makes you feel at home. Thank you, Maria. We highly recommend this property. ##### Gabrielle K.

Nous avons loué la Villa Heleno une semaine début aôut et avons été enchanté! La Villa dispose de tout l'équipement nécessaire, la piscine et le jardin sont très agréables et la vue splendide. Qui plus est, Maria est vraiment charmante et disponible. Nous avons pu nous rendre 3 jours à Lisbonne (à 35-40 minutes de la Villa) et visiter Sintra et ses châteaux. La région regorge d'activités qui valent vraiment la peine (notamment le palais de Monseratte juste en face à 15 minutes de la Villa - magnifiques jardins!). Les plages sont également toutes proches (avec de très bons restaurants avec vue sur mer!!!!). Nous recommandons cette location sans hésiter. Merci encore Maria! ##### Jean-François Z.
