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... More

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.

Alma, their dog, is also a special addition to the family!!... More
