The murmur of water that runs in an old stone tank coaxes guests into the main salon of a centuries-old village house - a restored wine cellar where people used to bring their grapes to turn into wine. This alchemic spirit still lives in the house. Inside, ancestral furniture is mixed with modern pieces, making for contemporary functionality while keeping the integrity of the place alive. The living-room opens out onto a cozy porch on the north side of the house. The Sun beams play upon the natural stone and wood structure, casting shadows at different hours of the day. The outdoor surrounds are inviting as the quaint interior. You can see the ever changing Sintra mountains in the distance. One can find inspiration in the somewhat monastic and contemplative atmosphere of the space. ## Property amenities ### Beach - Beach loungers ### Internet - Available in the villa: Free WiFi ### Parking and transport -

I love the idea of preserving history and this house has done that perfectly. I also believe you can preserve a lovely home and still provide fresh atmosphere and updated furniture. Unfortunately there was no where we felt comfortable sitting - between the musty smell and the extremely old/ uncomfortable couches and chairs - really that ruined it for us. Some people maybe okay with the musty smell and enjoy the older feeling home. ##### Gregg L.

Good communication and responsive to all our needs and questions. The house itself is a Portugese gem, very stylish furnished and all kinds of sitting areas to hang out. The outside areas we did not use at all since the weather was not that great, but I can imagine it will be just as comfortable in the summertime. We were very happy with the fireplace which we used almost every evening. The only downside of this location was the neighbors dog which barked a lot. It is really sad to see how the Portugese handle their dogs, I would bark all day to draw some attention. But overall we had a very satisfying stay! Thanks again Sofia! ##### Lydia d.

Truly a remarkable stay. Sofia has done an amazing job inside and out of this historic home. It is evident throughout that she has a special eye for how elements and color can work together. Very unique. Extremely relaxing. A great find for sure. The colorful blooming landscape variety all around the house was a particularly nice treat. We felt like we were hanging out in a private arboretum. Bonus points for that! It’s perfectly located about halfway between Sintra and the beach communities to the west. Short drives. Fantastic host too. We loved it all! ##### Wayne S. Stayed 6 nights in Apr 2023 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Robin H. 29 Apr 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Lovely House A very nice house in a village outside of Lisbon near Sintra. The house was very clean, with 2 good size bedrooms downstairs and one upstairs. The lounge area was very comfortable. The kitchen is a bit small but had everything we needed. The key feature of the house is that its cool. Even in April it was quite hot outside so it is a bit of an oasis inside, particularly if coming back from the city. The village has a couple of restaurants but no shops so its 5 mins by car to the nearest small supermarket. A car is essential for the area anyway. Our host Sofia lives next door and was super helpful and speaks good English, as does everyone in fact. Theres parking directly outside the house and its about 35 mins drive from the airport so pretty handy really. And you can drive to the beach in less than 10 mins. So all in all a very pleasant stay. ##### Robin H.

Die Lage ist perfekt um einen Mix aus Strand-, Stadt- und Landurlaub zu verbringen. Zum Erholen ist der Garten und das liebevoll eingerichtete Haus ideal. Die Nähe zu Lissabon lässt auch Großstadturlauber auf ihre Kosten kommen. Wir kommen gerne wieder! ##### Julian G.

Sofia has imbued her home with wonderful art and furnishings that will make you feel at home. There are a couple of marvelous outdoor spaces with a profusion of landscaping. Sofia and her husband are next door so readily available if you need anything. Nafarros is the neighborhood you are in so you are close to Sintra which has a wealth of historical sights and Lisbon is an easy 40 minute train ride for all there is to see there. Going west from the rental there are lots of beaches and small villages to explore. You hardly have time to enjoy Sofia’s place! ##### Roger P.

The home was comfortable and had everything we needed for our 8-day stay. We especially loved the outdoor areas and spent lots of time relaxing in both the front courtyard and in the rear seating area overlooking Sofia's lovely yard. Sofia is such a gracious host and we enjoyed getting to know her. She was very responsive to our needs and her extra touches ensured that we had all that we needed for a great visit. The location of the home is very convenient to all the sights in Sintra (we suggest taking an Uber to avoid the frustration of driving and parking in congested Sintra) plus very near a number of gorgeous beaches. Colares is a nice stop for groceries, a brewery, etc. We also appreciated the daily outdoor visits from the neighbor's sweet orange cat and viewing Sofia's chickens from a distance. Thank you, Sofia, for the care you take in ensuring that your guests are well taken care of and happy! You helped make our vacation memorable! ##### Kristin R. Stayed 8 nights in Sep 2022 ---
