Matalva Main House and Cottage- stylish and secluded villa, with views and pool

Set in the beautiful, historic, UNESCO protected mountain range of Sintra, Quinta Matalva is a private villa located in a secluded valley with pine forest backdrops and views of the coast down the Serra. The Quinta is accessed down an off-road track that leads to only 4 Quintas ensuring seclusion and calm.

Quinta Matalva has three bedrooms in the main house and a further two in a cottage so it's perfect for a small group renting the main house only or a group of 10 who can rent the cottage too. The main house has a wide terrace which is ideal for barbecues, drinks and outside dining. Through a gate from this terrace are steps down to a private swimming pool with another terrace and sun lounges. From the main house, walk through a colonnade to the cottage which has a separate kitchen, sitting room and terrace with a dining area, ideal for anyone in the group requiring privacy such as a family with young children or grandparents. From the entire property there are superb views of the historic Dome and forests of the Palacio de Monserrate on the opposite hill and terraces of oranges, lemons and fig trees.

For larger parties, the neighbouring house, Quinta Sao Bento, with 5 bedrooms and a pool can sometimes be made available
