Great villa, great holiday!

We had a great stay here and a fantastic holiday. Ralph made the whole process very smooth and gave great recommendations for the local area. The villa was perfect for us- clean, well equipped and close to beaches, shops and restaurants. We loved it and hope to return!

Wonderful relaxing stay in a lovely house and great location

We couldn't have been happier with our stay. Ralph made us feel very welcome and was extremely helpful with recommendations on where to go and eat etc. The house was very comfortable and had everything we needed, and was in a great location, minutes from the beach and local amenities, including supermarkets, bars and restaurants. Praia das Maçãs is a very chilled and relaxing place to stay and we met some lovely people. We stayed 12 nights and loved it. Thank you Ralph, we hope to be back! :-)

Lovely Cottage with everything close by

We stayed at the cottage and used it as a base to visit Sintra. The location was great and the cottage has everything you need and is very clean and comfortable. Ralph was a great host and helped us with recommendations on food and transportation. The beach area is lovely with kind people and great food. Castle in Sintra are an easy visit without having to stay in the busy city. I would highly recommend and hope to come back one day!

Great holidays in Ralph's cottage

We spent our holidays in Sept. 2024 in Ralph's very beautiful cottage. The cottage is perfectly equipped - nothing is missing. Especially we enjoyed the large courtyard, which is beautifully designed with lots of plants, sunbeds, a brick grill and a seating area with a table and chairs. Ralph is a great host, very friendly and reliable. When we arrived, he gave us lots of great and useful tips about the place and the surrounding area. The house is nicely located in a quiet residential area, where there is also a mini market with everything you need. In the evenings you can relax in the garden with a barbecue or visit one of the several nice restaurants, which serve delicious local food. Many thanks again to Ralph for the great stay and hospitality! Gerd and Heidi

Wonderful, family friendly house!

We absolutely loved our 9 day stay at Casa da Bia! It was our family's first time in Portugal. We had two younger children with us and this house was perfect. A great size, very comfortable, clean, had everything we needed, and it's in a great location close to town. We chose not to rent a car and there was plenty we could walk to, even with two small children (but do be prepared to walk a lot!). The owner, Ralph, is wonderful to work with. He did a great job of giving recommendations for local restaurants, a butcher, a baker, local attractions, etc. Anything we needed, he was very helpful and responded promptly during our stay. We would highly recommend this house and we can't wait to rent from Ralph again!

Relax Near the Ocean

This is one of a small group of cottages that were built years ago by the host's in-law family as vacation rentals. The cottages and the lovely garden areas have been impeccably maintained. You can hear the ocean from the courtyard where we spent many happy hours drinking local wine and snacking on local treats. It is a short walk down to the village center where there is an array of restaurants, shops, bakeries and markets. There is a beautiful farmers and fish market well worth visiting. The Sintra trolley ends its route here and busses run frequently. Ralph, the host, is on top of things. He answered my correspondence very promptly. One morning there was no hot water - we called and within 10 minutes he was there to change the gas tank which instantly fixed the problem. He has a wealth of knowledge not only about where to go and what to do, but also about the local culture, and shares as much as you want to know. Best advice - take an Uber to travel to/from Lisbon. We were a group of 4 and were quite comfortable here. Although it is convenient to Sintra, it is by far less hectic. This is truly a wonderful place to relax and experience Portugal.

Entspannter Urlaub in sehr schönem Haus

Wir waren mit unseren zwei kleinen Kinder in Ralphs sehr schönen Ferienhaus. Es war alles perfekt und es hat an nichts gefehlt. Die Kommunikation mit Ralph war auch im Voraus schon immer sehr nett und zuverlässig. Bei der Ankunft haben wir von ihm jede Menge tolle Tipps für den Ort und die Umgebung erhalten. Das Haus hat wirklich alles was man als Familie braucht. Sogar ein Sonnenschirm für den Strand und Sandspielzeug für die Kinder ist vorhanden :-). Das Haus liegt schön in einer ruhigen Wohngegend, in der es auch einen kleinen Minimarkt mit allem notwendigen gibt. Abends kann man sich in dem Garten schön beim Grillen entspannten :-) Vielen Dank noch einmal an Ralph für den super Aufenthalt und die Gastfreundschaft!

Comfy Cottage ocean stay

Was a cute little place. Very clean and tidy with a beautiful little front yard for hanging out. Ocean was a few minutes walk away. A great little town, with nice restaurants. Ralph the owner was very easy to deal with and told us much about things to do around the area. Can’t wait to visit again.

Charmant en authentiek

We hebben het erg naar onze zin gehad. Wandelen, zwemmen en lekker koken. Eigenlijk voornamelijk buiten geleefd op de riante patio. Een aanrader! Markt met locale producenten, mini-mercado met een goed wijnaanbod. Wat wil een mens nog meer. Ralph was een fijne gastheer.

Sehr kindergeeigneter Strand!

Das kleine Ferienhaus liegt in einer ruhigen Straße im Ort, zum Strand sind es nur ca. 5 Gehminuten. Das Haus hat eine schöne Terrasse, innen ist es etwas dunkel, was aber bei dem schönen Wetter nichts ausmacht. Der Strand ist sehr geeignet für Kinder aller Altersstufen, da ein kleiner Fluss am Rand ein wahres Wasserspielplatzparadies darstellt. Die Infrastruktur am und im Ort ist gut. Mr. Mason ist ein sehr netter Vermieter, der sich Zeit für viele Tipps nimmt. Wir hatten jedenfalls eine wunderbare Zeit!

Ralph was a great host, villa was clean and tidy with everything you need.

We loved this villa with it's lovely large paved patio area, the place was clean and tidy with all the mod cons you need on holiday. The village is great with lots of places to eat and a fabulous beach. Ralph was a superb host and spent time helping with our questions and telling us about the area, many thanks for this and being so helpful.
