Fantastic stay - once again. Wonderful property. Carlos is a gracious host.

Wow! Where do I begin? When my partner and I were looking for a coastal villa within an hour’s drive of Lisbon, we kept returning to Casas da Arriba and we most definitely made the perfect choice! The host, Carlos, was second to none with his communication prior to arriving, and he was most respectful, attentive, thoughtful and obliging. We liked him before we even met him. Carlos greeted us both very warmly on arrival and he was kind enough to let us into the villa a few hours before the official check-in time. His villa is beautiful and it was spotless. It was extremely well equipped so there really was no need to take anything with you other than clothes…and my hair straighteners! Evidently, much care and thought had been put into the comfort and pleasure of the guests. Its location at the top of the hill was perfect for us and the sunsets were stunning. We plan to return next year (something we never do as the world is too small) and if Carlos is selling, he has already sold it!! Thank you, Carlos, for helping to make our short break truly outstanding and memorable for all the best reasons. We can’t recommend your property highly enough and we will definitely see you again in 2027! S&S

Our stay was amazing!! The views are breathtaking and the house is very clean and well-equipped to make you comfortable. The kitchen has everything you need to cook. The house was perfect for us. We were there for our son’s wedding at the Alta and it was close to the venue. It was very quiet at night and there was no road noise. The bedrooms have patios and you can open the doors and windows for lots of fresh air and ocean views. Carlos was a fantastic host and went above and beyond to take care of us. Our rental car would not start and he helped us arrange for a tow truck and taxi. I would highly recommend staying! 10

The villa is exceptionally well equipped, furnished and decorated throughout. It is beautifully clean and modern and has a real luxury feel. The pool is great and the sitting area and barbecue are also excellent. The position of the villa provides a nice view down to the main beach, although at this time there is some building going on that interferes with the view a little. The main beach is fantastic, not too crowded, nice sand and great waves every day for bodyboarding. The second closer beach is really beautiful and secluded but be ware that there are some rocks in the sea that make it unsuitable for bodyboarding. Great place to watch the sun go down. Couple of good restaurants in the village and supermarkets only a few mins away. There isn't a huge amount to do in the area but we were more than happy to spend time relaxing at the very comfortable villa and playing in the sea at the great beach. The owner, Carlos, is very warm and welcoming. I have given this review 5 stars, I would knock off half a star just because there was some building work around the villa that temporarily detracts a little from the experience. Many thanks Carlos for the use of your exceptional villa.
