Gabriela is the kindest host. We stayed here with our 4 kids aged 11 and under and it was magical. We had fresh eggs from her chickens, veggies from her garden, welcome bottles of wine and she even baked me a cake to celebrate me graduating from university! It was an unforgettable experience and I’m so thankful for her generosity. There’s so much to do in the area and gorgeous beaches! We loved our stay here and highly recommend it!

Gabriela is the most genuine, kind person you will ever meet! She is a breath of sunshine. She had food and wine awaiting us including fresh eggs from her chickens and homemade jam which was such a surprise and welcomed when we were so tired on arrival. We love dogs and got a chuckle out of Goodie and Max visiting us at breakfast each morning. Looked out the door and there they were waiting in anticipation. The grounds are lovely. You can't go wrong if you like nature, animals and a lovely host.

I wish I had more time to stay here! Incredible place if you’re looking to get away from the city while still being close to sightseeing, food, etc. The property’s access to the Sintra- Cascáis natural park allowed us to hike to see multiple historical ruins and we even made it all the way to Praia da Ursa. Had no problems getting uber to/from Lisbon and to the Sintra town. The bread, cheese, ham, and jam provided is so thoughtful and allowed us more time to enjoy the property. Gabriela and her daughter Maria were both so friendly and welcoming. The dogs on property are also adorable and ready to greet you each morning. I would absolutely come back here, thank you Gabriela!

The parking was good,although there were other cars and trees(cork) to navigate around in the driveway. We were welcomed warmly by hostess and found Gabrielle to be a wonderful lady. She had put eggs from the chickens on the property also a fresh loaf of bread and cheese from butcher. We found pods of espresso coffee waiting for breakfast. We loved our stay.The dogs were waiting to say good morning each day. We went to Sintra town and Cascais also . Went to the Praia da Aguda beach. Beautiful. Scenery was so amazing. Thank you Gabriella for your hospitality .
