Holiday houses in Marateca

The tower is part of a larger property, but pretty far from the main house and extremely quiet. The gal at the house was super friendly to help with check in and our bags as we arrived early. We had an issue with wifi, which wasn't able to be resolved during our stay (realized it after business hours and the next day was a holiday), but they helped us access internet for a work meeting and were accommodating. The tower was spectacular and the view was something else. The room is small, but we spent most of our time in Sintra or on the rooftop!

The place is very cute and the beach and how open and undeveloped the beach was is unlike anywhere else. We did three days of surf lessons from Caeser who is literally 100ft from the house down the beach and there is surfing right out your front door with board and wetsuit rentals.. The town itself is a little bleak and there wasn't much to do and we found if the weather was bad restaurants close very early (like 6pm) so just make sure to find out times if you are planning on eating out for dinner. Our family of four was in love (2 boys ages 7 and 10) but my in laws came too who are in their early 80s. I clearly wasn't thinking bc the walk to the house is through the sand and hard to navigate, my mother in law also couldn't get over the sand dune to go to the beach, and the stairs in the house are more like a ladder. so it's wonderful for able bodies but if you have someone with special needs it may not be suitable. but otherwise if you love surfing, beautiful sunsets book it!

This was a very peaceful place. It’s right in the dunes and you can hear the ocean. Good place if you want to stay in the cabana and relax for a few days.

Incredible stay in Comporta in this beautiful typical cabin. The pictures are not deceiving, the house is even more beautiful in real life, the exteriors are magnificent, the garden is very well maintained and the jasmine is exceptional!

Sintra is a magical destination. So many people make it a day trip from Lisbon and, in so doing, miss out on the heart of this community. We were thrilled that Hugo and Laura provided this opportunity for us to more fully explore this amazing place. Their Casa das Rosas is exactly as described, very compact and usable. It takes a little getting used to the arrangement of floors with bedroom and shower on the top floor and bathroom and kitchen two floors below, but it works. Laura and Hugo are most gracious hosts and we received very clear instruction regarding parking, entry, use of space and departure. The welcome gifts were much appreciated as well. Great shower! Well equipped kitchen. We would recommend this place to anyone who is OK with climbing stairs.

We had an amazing week on this property. The house is incredibly clean, comfortable and well appointed. The surrounding area has great shopping and dining. It felt like everything we needed was 15 minutes away. Elisabete was quick to respond and help in any way and she was incredibly kind. We were celebrating some birthdays, and she was thoughtful enough to leave us gifts of wine and tinned fish (!) upon arrival. We hope to return.

Iza's home is exceptional. Every amenity and so many extras, with a world-class view that can be enjoyed in luxury and peace. We absolutely loved it. Iza is a gracious host, great communicator and we so appreciated staying in her beautiful space. Expect steep walk up if you don't catch an uber, but short so it's do-able. And don't worry for the first time seeing the outside area... inside the apartment is absolutely gorgeous just as the phyos and reviews say. Thank you Iza! We appreciate all the extra touches and kindnesses. You are a very generous host.

Carla's house is simply spectacular, exactly like the photos, cozy, super clean, extremely equipped with everything we needed. Carla was super attentive since our first contact, always willing to help with whatever was needed, always available to answer questions! My family and I loved staying at her house and we will definitely stay there again when we return to Portugal! Thank you for everything Carla.
