Rosa was very welcoming, friendly, helpful and always available if we needed her.The villa was clean and traditional Portuguese with superb views. The garden was lovely however the pool which looked great was not heated.The villa is set in a small quiet village location but a car is a must to visit local restaurants and towns.Overall we would recommend this charming villa.

This was an amazing place to stay while in Portugal. Rosa was the perfect host. She met us at the front door with fresh fruit, delicious Portuguese wine, and an incredible welcoming smile. Her home is cozy and has a breathtaking view of the Atlantic. The pool was perfect.She provides plenty of supplies to get you started, including two types coffee! She also helped us secure a wonderful taxi service and had plenty of brochures of sites to see. If we are ever in Portugal again, we will definitely stay at her home. She made us feel like family.

Beautiful villa with a gorgeous view. Enough room for three couples with their own bathrooms. The host, Rosa, communicated with us often to check if we needed anything during our stay. Would highly recommend this villa if you want a quiet stay with a 10 minute drive to center of colares/sintra. Joanne/United States

Una estancia inolvidable en una villa encantadoraDesde el primer momento, nuestra experiencia fue excepcional. La ubicación de la villa es perfecta, y el clima nos acompañó durante toda la estancia, permitiéndonos disfrutar al máximo sin sufrir la ola de calor que afectaba a otras zonas.La propietaria nos recibió con una exquisita atención, dejándonos una cesta de frutas y unas botellas de vino como detalle de bienvenida. Durante toda la estancia se mostró muy amable y disponible, aunque no fue necesario recurrir a ella, ya que todo funcionó a la perfección.La casa está cuidada al detalle, lo que hizo que nos sintiéramos cómodos y relajados desde el primer instante. Sin duda, repetiremos en el futuro. ¡Altamente recomendable!

Fantástico

Excelente local, vista extraordinária, casa muito bem equipada e acolhedora. Dona Rosa, muito obrigado pela sua disponibilidade e ajuda, ficámos "fans" da sua casa. Recomendo vivamente a quem precisa de descansar. As 5 estrelas são pouco para classificar a qualidade e a beleza do espaço. Muito obrigado por tudo e para o ano se tudo correr bem estaremos aí de novo.

Desde já o meu muito obrigada pelo fantástico Review que teve a amabilidade de fazer relativo à minha casa, a "Casa do Moinho". De facto, é minha intenção que a casa esteja de acordo com os parâmetros de qualidade e conforto que eu considero mínimos tanto para o aluguer como para habitar no dia a dia. A Casa do Moinho tem um valor inestimável para mim, a nível sentimental, por variadíssimas razões e não só mas também por isso eu tento que a mesma seja um local acolhedor, tranquilo e confortável e tento transmiti-lo desta forma aos meus hóspedes. Fico muito satisfeita por terem gostado de passar umas férias na minha casa e que as mesmas tenham sido tranquilas e proporcionado um bom descanso. Terei muito gosto em recebê-los novamente para o próximo ano, caso assim o entendam, e agradeço novamente a vossa gentiliza. Despeço-me com os meus melhores cumprimentos. Atenciosamente, Rosa Bastos

Nuevamente una estadía muy bella!

Volvimos después de 2 años a esta bella casa, esta vez con mi cuñada. La dependence ha sido remodelada y ahora tiene un bonito baño. Confirmo mi anterior reseña. Hemos estado muy cómodos y el lugar es magnífico. Rosa es una excepcional anfitriona. Muchísimas gracias y hasta pronto!

Lovely holiday

Casa do Moinho is a comfortable, well kept, portuguese style house in a quiet location. We spent many hours in the pool area, swimming and enjoying the magnificent view. The house provides for everything that you need. The owner is a charming lady and always available if you need any help. Nearby are some lovely restaurants where you can eat typical portuguese food. Also there is plenty to do for everyone: sports, culture and nature. We came away feeling very rested and relaxed.

Paradise

We stayed in this house for two weeks and we felt like we were in paradise. The view towards the ocean is fantastic, the garden is great and the house was very clean. The beds have new matrasses, so we slept very well. Although the house is very near to Sintra, Cascais and some great beaches (one on walking distance), the environment was very quite and the garden very private. Fantastic house on a great place!

4/10 Poor

Nice house but...

House and gardens verry nicely laid out. Beautiful views to the ocean and coast. We found the house needed a good cleaning. We had to wash everything down in the kitchen as everything was grungy and stickey...including dishes in the cupboards. Same conditions found in most rooms. The bedding is of very poor quality and the master bedroom bed did not even have pillows. The beds themselves are also very poor quality...felt like sleepping on a piece of sponge foam. I've rented many vacation homes over the last years, this is the first I would not return to. Poor price/quality value.

Soggiorno fantastico!

Abbiamo trascorso una settimana bellissima nel soleggiato Portogallo...a febbraio! La casa è molto curata in tutti i dettagli (non manca niente!). Il bel giardino e soprattutto la meravigliosa vista verso il mare ci hanno colpito! Un luogo tranquillo ma a sua volta, vicino a molti posti interessanti: Sintra con il suo meraviglioso parco e palazzo di Pena a meno di 10 minuti, Cascai, Estoril, Faro da Roca vicinissimi. Lisbona a 40 minuti. La padrona di casa, Rosa, incantevole! Gentilissima e molto disponibile. Torneremo sicuramente!
