About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Perfect for a peaceful vacation with family and friends

An original, architect-designed house, surrounded by 13,000 sq.m of private grounds featuring a beautifully designed set of terraces and a pergola that serves as a barbecue area, nestled in the heart of the Serra da Arrabida.

The house features 3 bedrooms with double beds—one of which has a double and a single bed—2 bathrooms, a living room with a fireplace nook, a dining room, and a kitchen.

The surrounding area offers plenty of land and water activities, such as boating, fishing, dolphin watching, scuba diving, hiking, and mountain biking. The region boasts excellent cuisine and is a renowned wine-producing area.

It is located within 10 km of Azeitão, Setúbal, and the beautiful Arrabida beaches, and 40 km from Lisbon.

A bit of history...

The property is named after the Mozambican term “Maxamba,” which means “small farm.” Our grandfather, José Gomes Pedro, who built this property, lived in Mozambique with our family for several decades, where he became a renowned tropical botanist.

After returning from Mozambique, our grandparents settled in this house, and my grandfather continued studying the flora of the Serra da Arrabida. He wrote books about it and was the first person to identify the unique indigenous plant species, Euphorbia Pedroi, which is named after him.

We have owned the property since 2019, and we want to preserve it in harmony with its natural surroundings while enjoying it with our family and friends.
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 2 bathrooms, and a patio, and there's space to spread out with 4 bedrooms. Guests can enjoy a TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a coffee maker, and a dining table.
