Quinta do Pé Descalço: typical Portuguese house with pool for 14, Sintra

Quinta do Pé Descalço, just for your group

A typical Portuguese country house in Várzea de Sintra, next to the Sintra-Cascais Natural Park, rented as a whole to a single group of up to 14 people. For your stay, the house is yours: garden, private pool and no other guests. A few minutes by car from Sintra and its palaces, and also from Cascais, Lisbon and the Atlantic coast beaches. Ideal for a family or a group of friends travelling together.

The house

The property is made up of a main house and an annex, with six bedrooms for up to fourteen people, around a garden with a pool.

In the main house:
— Regaleira: the largest room, with garden views, a double bed, a reading nook, a desk and a private bathroom with a bathtub. For 2.
— Pena and Mouros: two rooms with a private door off the hall, sharing a large bathroom reserved just for them. Double bed or two singles, your choice. Up to 4. Ideal for families or friends.
— Capuchos: a cosy room with solid wood bunk beds and a private bathroom with a shower. For 2.

In the annex:
— Ribafria: a bright room with a private bathroom and its own terrace. Double bed or two singles. For 2.
— Monserrate: an apartment with a bedroom, a living room with a sofa bed, a kitchenette, a private bathroom and a terrace. For up to 4.

Shared spaces

In the main house, a large living room with a fireplace and views of the garden and pool, a separate small sitting room, a dining room and a fully equipped kitchen, both opening directly onto the garden. There is also a guest toilet, handy for groups. Outside, a barbecue area and two bathrooms in the garden. Central heating in the main house and electric heating in the annex, a fan and mosquito screens in every room. We include bed linen and towels, shower gel and shampoo, a hairdryer and toilet paper.

A quiet house

It is above all a quiet house. There are no televisions in the rooms and no traffic outside: in the evening you hear the garden and little else. The nights in Sintra are cool and the rooms have fans, so we don't miss air conditioning.
The vacation home is heated and features a kitchen, 5.5 bathrooms, and a patio. There's space to spread out with 6 bedrooms and a dining area. Guests can expect to find free WiFi. The bathroom offers a rainfall showerhead, hair dryers, and bidets. Other standard amenities include a private pool, a fireplace, and a sofa bed. Housekeeping is available on request.

A family holiday with children & grandchildren!

Beautiful house with annex, special BBQ corner and a great swimming pool. Typical Portuguese tiles, a great spacious feel. The place has rooms which needs to be carefully understood if you are allocating couples and children. 2 people are counted to be on a sofa bed, which none of the adults really wanted on a holiday. The bunk beds were great for children but the room is next to the kitchen and far away from the rooms where the adults can sleep so one parent had to sleep with the child in a bunk bed. The place is run as a B&B so the owner is very hands on quite a different experience from other VRBO places we have rented where we were informed of the house rules and left alone completely. They live in the premises, have very specific rules and were monitored. We were harassed by a wild cat through out the meals and went into the kitchen if that wasn't kept closed. The children had to be kept away from it. Overall a good experience but wish we had actually looked at the layout of the place given we had couples with children who needed to be together. Thanks for hosting us.

Toller Aufenthalt in perfekter Location mit super Host

Das Haus ist sehr sauber und ordentlich. Patricia kümmert sich um alles und hilft jedem gerne weiter. Es war ein rundum gelungener Urlaub inmitten des wunderschönen Naturschutzgebiets. Wir kommen immer wieder gerne dorthin.
