Private gardens & BBQs, 5 mins walk to the beach, Praia das Maçãs
The cottages have been in the family for over 50 years, having been bought new by my grandfather. They have been used as the family holiday home for three generations. They have undergone extensive renovations in the winter of 2004 and are now completely refurbished. Both houses are surrounded by traditional courtyards with grape vines and flower beds - a great place for barbeque's! - each having exclusive access to their own courtyard. If you wish to rent both properties, access between the two can be given. Sea views can be seen from the door porch and it's only a short walk to the beach. There is also an Olympic sized swimming pool by the beach for those who do not wish to venture the waves which includes a children's pool as well. We've got our own website for these properties where you can find more photos and extra information. Please contact us for our web site address. We'll greet you at the cottages with a welcome basket and are available at any time as we live nearby.

Transport
There is very easy access to Praia das Maçãs from the Lisbon airport (we will send you detailed routes and maps once you've booked) but if you don't rent a car, there is also a choice of public transport, and a taxi ride would cost you about 45 euros on a Saturday. Car rental is available locally or from Lisbon airport, you can arrange this before you travel. Buses leave from Praia das Maçãs to Sintra regularly. In Sintra there are two main train stations into Lisbon and also the north of the country. You can take another bus from Sintra to Cascais, Estoril, Mafra or Ericeira, just ask at the information centre. We can do private airport transfers for 30 euros each way, cheaper than a taxi ride and with the added benefit of some site seeing and useful information along the way!
Further afield
We can also help you with ideas and tips for day trips to other places not far from Praia das Maçãs, so drop us a line if you're interested.

Review Submitted: December 06, 2007, Date of stay: December, 2007
'We had a great time here and everything was as Ana and Ralph said it would be. The beaches were very unspoilt and uncrowded, the villa was immaculate and it was easy to get around without a car. Sintra is definitely well worth a visit. We would certainly recommend this as a holiday.' Nigel & Carolyn Conquest, UK – August 2006
'We had a fantastic week, the cottage was great so close to the beach! Praia das Maçãs is a great beach holiday location; not touristry, great cheap seafood restaurants, clean beaches and plenty of sun!' Danielle Ivory and Jeremy Haines, UK – August 2006
'Thanks again for the wonderful rental in Portugal. The cottage was wonderful and after talking with Cristina, we wouldn't change a thing.' Paul and Cristina Turang, USA – September 2005
'Thank you for a fantastic holiday. The house is perfect and very comfortable, and everything you need or want is there!' Jan de Meulenaere, Belgium – July 2005
