House holiday rentals in Ribeira de Sintra

Lovely stay, even lovelier host. Super friendly and responsive, and even sent a list of local recommendations for everything one could possibly need during a holiday. Would love to come back as it was such a special home and held spectacular views. Gorgeous vibes 🫶🏻🙏🏻

It was a perfect stay with great nature view. We really enjoyed our holiday. Thanks, Ana!

We consider this house to be on another level when it comes to the traditional Airbnb. You are essentially living in a private part of a palatial mountainside with amazing views of the forest , coastline and sunsets. The house is an ancient hermitage that is supremely well kept and the owners’ sophistication shines through. The gardens and terraces are absolutely beautiful and a joy to walk around with ponds, fountains and lovely forest pathways. The kitchen is very well equipped with everything you need to make delicious meals. Beds are very comfortable and Mariana, the housekeeper, keeps the house spotless and the grounds are very well kept by the gardener. Cristina who owns the property is the most generous host who greeted us with a delicious homemade quiche and other provisions so we did not have to go shopping upon our arrival which was fantastic after a long journey. When visiting Sinatra, this home is such a privilege and will only enhance your stay!

Amazing place, the view is so incredible, we spent a really great time at the villa, it is peaceful, beautiful and private! If I come back to Portugal I would definitely want to come back! Thank you again for everything!

A great house with all that you need and very quiet location. Colares is an ideal location and easy for beaches/Sintra/Cascais and only 45 mins from Lisbon. Lee and Sabina very helpful/responsive.

Amazingly beautiful home. We had the best time at Catarina,s place and would highly recommend the place to anyone looking for a family holiday

François’ place was super relaxing and very comfortable. It was well situated for exploring Lisbon and surrounding area by car and only 20 minutes from the beach. It’s just like the pictures and he is a very responsive and helpful host. I strongly recommend as one of the best places I’ve stayed.

Beautiful villa with pool. Everything was impeccable.

what a great spot. even better then the photos. worked well for our family of 4. perfect location to explore sintra and the surrounds!

I remember reading a review of one guest saying how this was the nicest ABNB they ever stayed at, and i have to say that this was spot on. the location and view are spectacular. the house excellent. Highly recommend staying here. Host was also very responsive and a pleasure to deal with.

We had a wonderful stay! Just a short summary of pros and cons: + Antonio and Maria were great hosts - communication and help was excellent when needed. They brought fresh bread every morning which means less driving to the next town as a guest - fantastic! The house has an amazing view. which is almost unbeatable. The neighborhood is calm with no hotels/noise. - Compared to the fotos it was a bit smaller and older/with signs of normal use than we expected, but of course its sometimes difficult to tell by pictures. Since its southern Europe, be prepared for some insects (has nothing to do with the accommodation but might be helpful to know) - but Antonio and Maria had us prepared with some mosquito repellents and insecticide sprays. The lower bathroom has a strange smell when the drain hasn't been used regulary - but Antonio offered help immediately after we wold him and eventually it improved . All in all a great stay just with some small hints you should know - thank you again!

Beautiful villa with multiple guest suites. Comfortable beds and a spacious bathroom. The pool area is definitely worth spending time in and enjoying the views of the valley and the palaces on the hills.

Martim’s cabana overlooking Portinho da Arrábida is truly something special! Nestled in a private garden filled with flowers, fruit trees, and so many butterflies, the cabana has breathtaking views of both the mountains and the sea. It feels like your own little sanctuary in nature. And if you feel like a swim, the beach is just a short walk below. The house itself is spotless and beautifully decorated with a mix of cozy country cottage charm and nautical touches. I especially loved how you can open all the windows and enjoy seamless indoor-outdoor living. There is so much light and fresh air throughout! I appreciated that the layout gives everyone a bit of privacy, and the beds and linens were incredibly comfortable. Martim and his brothers were so warm, responsive, and helpful. They really made us feel at home. Thank you for such a relaxing and special birthday trip!

Lovely place in a small village. Good comms from Marianna, Would recommend the restaurant that is about 15 minute walk away in the next village. Nice views of the Sintra hills (mainly from outside).

Inês is a wonderful host. The house is nicer than the photos. We enjoyed a comfortable stay. Things that could be better are ventilation fans or bug nets on windows in the bathrooms, a dryer or extra drying rack.

We loved our stay at Madalena's place. The location is fantastic ... very close to everything Sintra has to offer, yet very quiet and peaceful. Had plenty of room and great views ... even had a place to park !

We loved our stay at Figueiredo’s place. Perfect for us as a couple, with a private pool and deck to relax on in the evening. Quiet location within easy reach of Cascais, via Uber or a short walk, with its great food options. Communication was easy and everything was as described. Would highly recommend this place is you are looking for somewhere quiet near Cascais.

Ricardo’s barn is not only a stunning renovation but a true sanctuary — the design, space plan, textures, linens, outdoor spaces, levels and thoughtful touches make this one of the best Airbnbs I’ve ever stayed in… and I’ve stayed in a lot! Azenhas do Mar is only 5-7 minute drive which is incredible and the small town nearby is charming and friendly. Ricardo was an excellent host and provided us with groceries, vino, etc when we arrived. So kind! We absolutely loved it and would highlight recommend to anyone considering a stay!

Probably one of the best airbnbs I have ever stayed at. Patricia was extremely helpful for whatever is needed and very flexible with check in times. Lovely pool and jacuzzi. Overall a fantastic experience

We were very satisfied with the accommodation, the balcony was great and had a great view. The shower was very large and had a great water jet. The kitchen also had everything we needed. The bed was a little small for both of us (we are 186cm) and a little hard but otherwise everything was great!

The house was just like in the photos and very clean. We had a great time.

The property is in the middle of picturesque Penedo, high up with views to the sea. Each room is designed with a lot of love for detail. The traditional style makes the little cottage very cozy and when you walk through the alleys of Penedo you discover beautiful gardens and wonderful houses everywhere.

Having Pedro meet us at the house and show us around and give us a list of recommendations was invaluable. The house is well appointed with beautiful gardens and a lovely outdoor area. It was a great central location for all of the things on our to do list. A stay at Ana and Pedro’s home will not disappoint.

Isabel was the best host I’ve ever had. She was always responsive and her advance details about the property and surroundings helped us plan. The property itself is breathtaking. This is a magical place. We loved every minute of our stay. Isabel made it so special with caring details like a welcome bottle of wine, plenty of coffee, many details about the town, plenty of assistance for checking in and a wonderful housekeeper. We will definitely return. What an amazing experience!
