We had a very nice time over Christmas week in this charming, solidly-built (sound proofing appreciated with children) art-filled cottage. We were given detailed directions in advance, and basic food stuffs were in the kitchen when we arrived, allowing us a relaxed first afternoon on-site. The kitchen was very well equiped (nice pots and great quality knives really appreciated). Tasteful...

We are delighted to find guests who are on sabbatical (work or study abroad) as they are particularly appreciative of the local culture and very stimulating to talk to. This was a lovely family who tried everything they possibly could within the time they had. Bonne chance!

We have just spent four days in this wonderful region , and our accomodation in the Casa do Celeiro has been very comfortable and private . We chose the annex accomodation , with breakfast taken in the main house overlooking the ocean . Breakfasts were very good fare and a delightful way to start each day .
The welcome to...

Rarely do you find a place where the owners live next door and treat you like friends! Alan and Mary are very warm and hospitable, and Mary's art classes are relaxed but informative - I hadn't picked up a paint brush for 30 years, and still had fun! The house is comfortable and homely and well equipped. The views are...

It is always a joy to (re)introduce someone to one of my art classes as eventually they 'muck-in' and discover some dormant talent! Brilliant.

Everything is here: stunning views out to sea; peace and quiet in a secluded but accessible location; fabulous hill walks; comfort in the cosy cottage; friendly and most welcoming hosts, Alan and Mary who also gave us excellent advice on what to see and do while we were here. In addition I took part in one of Mary's art classes...

Here is a genuine historic location, updated to contemporary tastes, but retaining the rich, earthy flavor of it heritage. Fabulous ocean views from the cottage and a pool surrounded by a magnificent setting of green flora. Day trips include many exquisite adventures. Friendly hosts are celebrated artists, who have had the vision to transform this farmette into an elegant home...

We have thoroughly enjoyed our time at Casa do Celeiro. The grounds, the fantastic views, the artworks, and the hospitality of the hosts make it a 'must-visit' in the Sintra region.

It was a pleasure to know this young academic couple on sabbatical found peace, beauty and inspiration for their work.

First of all, Mary and Alan were the most welcoming hosts - full of warmth, giving you space to do as you please, yet always available to give advice about where to go, must-sees etc. They have a pure passion for what they do and deserve credit for that. Alma, their dog, is also a special addition to the family!!...

We tremendously enjoyed our stay at the Casa!! Everything was as described and photographed, and the hosts were very helpful and friendly. The Cottage is very cozy and warm, filled with art, and all the comforts we needed. The pool was breathtaking and we were lucky to have some great hot days to take advantage of it. We did a...

We were delighted with the charming young Argentinian / Spanish connection from Buenos Aires / Madrid. The couple who organised the hoiday invited friends and family and appeared to enjoy the reunion amidst BBQs, beach outings, trips to Lisbon and just relaxing. Alma our dog also took great delight in being part of their company. We do hope they return...

We spent two wonderful weeks at the Casa do Celeiro with our twins (12), and with our parents and we enjoyed every minute of it. The house and garden are beautiful and in an ideal spot. Secluded, but not remote, with the most stunning view of Almocageme and the Atlantik, an individual, tranquil and very private place that felt like...

I have just discovered this option of responding to guests' reviews. Fortunately I remember well the very charming family from Germany who were so appreciative of us, the house and the area. We did spend a good time chatting and getting to know one another. Indeed they were very lucky with the weather as being in a microclimate keeps you...
