Great location, with many food choices, beaches, and a very good host.

We are just back from 2 glorious weeks at Paolo's property in Meco. Honestly, everything was perfect for us. The house itself was well-presented and well-equipped, spacious, and had everything we needed. We especially loved the outside areas. The pool was a bit chilly (we were offered the option to heat it prior to arrival which we didn't take) but a decent size and we made use of it pretty much every day. Communication with Paolo was very easy (via Whatsapp), he sent us all the information we could possibly need ahead of our stay and checked in on us during our stay to make sure everything was ok. Ideal for what we like - totally unobtrusive but available if we needed anything. We have visited Portugal lots of times before but never this area. We absolutely loved exploring the towns and villages of the Serra da Arrabida and of course the stunning beaches. We hired a car but Ubers are also readily available in the area and super cheap. The specific location within Aldeia do Meco was great - walkable (via road) to the plethora of bars/restaurants in the village centre.We had a lovely time (we really REALLY didn't want to leave!) and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Casa do Pai (Fathers House) - Obrigada Paolo :)

We had a great week at this lovely house. The pool is brilliant - a good length and well maintained. We also loved the outside sofas under the awning - it was great to have a decent amount of shade and make the most of the outside space. Paulo was a helpful and responsive host and access to the property was really easy. Thank you!

We stayed in the Pai Beach House for 2 weeks during August Summer holiday (family of 4), On arrival the Beach House did not disappoint, we were met by Paulo who showed us around and answered any questions we may of had about the house and surrounding area, he was also easily contactable if any queries arose.The house was very well equipped with all mod-cons you would expect and there was a lovely eating area for breakfast, lunch or dinner. The outdoor area was lovely and relaxing including a great pool.The house is located in a quiet area with a local campsite in walking distance (1 minute) where you could purchase fresh bread daily and any small grocery items if required, main supermarkets were a 15 minute commute by car. There were 5-6 restaurants in the village which we tried a number of and were all great (2 minutes by car), there was also a great Pizzeria walking distance from the house (our favorite of all). There is a beach that is walking distance from the house (15 minute walk) and 2 other very close by car, one 2 minute drive and the other 5 minute drive.The house was located 30 minutes from Lisbon so we managed to incorporate and enjoy some nice trips into Lisbon to mix the beach holiday with City life also.Would recommend a stay to anyone.
