This property does not match the listing
While the owner of this property is very helpful and responsive, the property itself is in drastic need of maintenance. In its VRBO photos, the farmhouse appears to be in an open, sunny field. It is not. Based on the full-grown trees and shrubs that currently block the view, the photos in the listing are at least 10 years old. 1) It leaks when it rains. These are large puddles, not drips. The wood around the skylights is rotted and discolored from previous leaks. In several places, plaster was falling from the ceiling. 2) The main entryway is via a patio of large uneven paving stones. There is no outside light. We arrived in the dark and left in the dark, and it was extremely hard to avoid tripping. 3) There is a semicircular cut-out in the kitchen floor to allow the door to open. This unexpected drop in the floor is not marked in any way. We all tripped, and one of us was badly injured. 4) The second bedroom loft roof is so low that there is only a few square feet where you can stand upright. The railing is just a few pieces of thin wood. If this house is rented to families with children, a deadly fall could result. 5) The low entryway into the sitting room has a sharp stone edge that is not marked in any way. The owner remarked that a previous renter was hospitalized after walking into it. 6) The bathroom sink drain and shower overflow and the bathroom is infested with pillbugs. In its current state of disrepair, this property should not be on the rental market.

Stay in the old cottage
True to its name, this is a quirky old cottage that's charming and rustic. The grounds are really lovely and we enjoyed eating outside every day. There isn't anything within walking distance of the cottage but there are a lot of activities within a 20 min radius. There is a lidl really close by. Access was really easy and Marco was really helpful, giving us suggestions and recommendations for things to do in the area. Overall, we had a really nice trip.

Farmhouse full of character
We spent 6 nights in this home. It is both spacious and interesting. Marco the owner has retained the character of this 1700's home with loving attention to detail, and also made interesting additions such as a deep marble tub in the bathroom, which is a treat to use. The weather was unseasonably cool during our stay and we were able to use the large indoor fireplace and many candles provided. The outdoor area has lovely views toward to sea in the distance, with many pleasant seating areas among the varied plants and trees. The house itself is situated within a short drive of the nearest supermarket and amenities, and is in a good location for visiting the coast north of Lisbon, Sintra, Mafra, and even Evora (a 2h drive). Marco was one of the most responsive owners we have encountered and was beyond helpful when we lost our luggage, and responsive when we had a couple of minor issues with the house. Wifi is not stable (nor is 4G), so taking a book or other things to do is a good idea. Lovely place with loads of character!

A small oasis north of Lissabon
Best fit would be 2-3 people. The old farmhouse has lots of charm. There is no high-tec, no TV, (data and range) limited (but well working) WIFI. The garden with its trees and shades always offers a sweet spot for relaxation. Many beaches round the corner (10-20 min) and some nice restaurants too. Just 30 min to Lisbon and similar to the famous mountains near Sintra. From my PoV a real unique stay, worth its 5 stars

Peaceful Retreat
My girlfriend and I loved our stay here. It was everything we hoped for and more. The house is full of charm owing greatly to the timeless feel of the space. The large fireplace is great, the bathroom is wonderful and the bedroom with its windows looking out both sides to the garden feels really romantic. The garden is really special with so many beautiful plants and flowers carefully laid out by Marco and his family. Its really a very charming place and we would definitely go back.

Nice little cottage
We stayed with two adults in the cottage during Christmas 2018. Marco had warned us that the there is no central heating. We had to make a fire every night and every morning to keep the cottage warm. This was no problem for us, but is hard work if you are not used to making fires! We found the kitchen a little bit lacking in cooking facilities (there is a cooker with two gas hobs and a small oven) but made do with what there was. We used the fireplace a couple of times to bbq/ grill fish and meat, that was a lovely experience! The cottage is comfortable for two, but a bit small for more people unless you can spend time outside. In summer that is of course the way to go! There is a beautiful garden and no neighbours to be seen! The area is very convenient for daytrips, plenty of culture and nature. Marco is an excellent host and knows the area like his back pocket! We had a fabulous week in this area of Portugal!

Great place for our family vacation!
We loved this cottage and garden! It was in a great location for sightseeing in Sintra, beach-hopping, and exploring the coastline. Marco was the most generous host! He and his wife met us in Lisbon a few days before our stay and treated us to drinks at a top-of-a-parking-garage bar that had great views and that we never would have found on our own. He even helped us out with returning our rental car when the company opened after we needed to board our flight. His recommendations for local restaurants, day trips, and even Fado in Lisbon were top notch. The weather was cool at times, so we would often play games by the fire in the evenings. One day it was warm enough to eat outside under the arbor enjoying the great view. We are used to country living and always tidied up well, so while we had some ants we never had any rodents!

A charming step back into Portguese life.
We spent a week in this lovely old house that has plenty of character. The rooms are all spacious and all areas are well catered for. The garden is absolutely beautiful, interesting plants and lay out, a little quiet haven. The owner is very friendly and helpful, he has some interesting tales about the house! Only one slight negative, the second bedroom is on a mezzanine level and you have to bend double to get into and out of the room. Ideal for kids but a bit of a challenge for grown ups! Communication with owner leading up to our visit was excellent and very clear but directions could be a little more concise. Would we stay again- yes!

Unique experience. Quaint home. Couple things to consider
Unique experience. Quaint home. Lovely people (even let us in when we locked ourselves out). Couple things to consider: colder weather and lots of rain made it a bit challenging here. When we arrived the place was pretty cold and a bit damp. It was more comfortable after awhile but it made the beginning of our stay a bit uncomfortable. owner or housekeeping may want to consider getting place heated before arrival. A couple skylights were leaking wAter onto the floor. have made the owner aware though so maybe they will get fixed. In the end we were glad we stayed, but it just wasn't completely smooth sailing in the beginning.

Kurzurlaub 10.10-17.10.2015
Wir waren eine Woche im Oktober 2015 in Marco's urigem Bauernhaus und es hat uns rundum sehr gut gefallen. Vom Standort aus erreicht man das Zentrum von Lissabon in etwa 1 Stunde (15 min Autofahrt zum Bahnhof Sintra + 45 min Zugfahrt). In Lissabon mit dem Auto zu fahren ist nur was für Leute mit starken Nerven und einen Parkplatz zu suchen kann zur Geduldsprobe werden - es sei denn man parkt ausserhalb z.B. beim Torre de Belem oder gegenüber beim Kloster. Marco's Bauernhaus ist eine Oase der Ruhe mit schönem Garten ideal zum Abschalten aber bei den vielen Sehenswürdigkeiten rundrum (Lissabon, Sintra, Cabo da Roca, Cascais, Estoril etc ) fällt Letzteres gar nicht so ganz leicht. Eigentlich bräuchte man eher 3 Wochen um annäherend alles in Ruhe anzusehen. Man kann hier einfach zu viel machen ... man kann aber auch prima abschalten und runterkommen vom Stress des Alltags und die Ruhe geniessen. Marco gibt gerne Tipps zur Freizeitgestaltung und den Möglichkeiten, die man hier hat. Marlene, Sebastian und Jörg

Refugium
Wir suchten nach einem Refugium und fanden es. Es ist kaum zu sagen, was wir mehr genossen, das so schön authentisch hergerichtete Haus mit so vielen "Lichtblicken" - zu jeder Tageszeit neuen - oder den Garten mit seinen vielen schönen Plätzen zum verweilen und der großartigen Vielfalt an Pflanzen. Es ist ein gewachsener Garten voller Blüten und Früchten. Das Klima ist leicht windig und so aufs Angenehmste auszuhalten: nicht zu warm, nicht zu kalt. Sehr zu empfehlen ist die Bucht zum Band: Samarra Beach, 12 min mit dem Auto und man springt in den Atlantik. Herzlichen Dank Marco für die wunderbare Einführung

Wir haben den Aufenthalt in dem wunderschönen, liebevoll gestalteten, alten Haus sehr genossen. Es war eine Art Zeitreise mit allen Annehmlichkeiten und dem Komfort der Gegenwart. Der Garten hat wie das Haus einen Zauber, der uns ganz schnell in den Bann zog. Jeder Winkel zum Staunen, dazu noch ein herrlicher Ausblick auf das Meer. Sightseeing (Sintra, Mafra, Lissabon etc.) Kulinarik, Erholung etc.- alles in unmittelbarer Umgebung leicht möglich - ein unvergessliches Urlaubserlebnis.

Das Bauernhaus ist sehr sehr sehr alt... Fast ein Museum.
Für einen Kurzurlaub okay. Als Quartier für 14 Tage würde ich es nicht empfehlen. Der Garten ist sehr schön. Im Haus war es im Sommer schön kühl, aber Ungeziefer und Mücken haben uns erheblich gebissen und gestochen. Der Vermieter war verbindlich und freundlich. Wer pure Romantik sucht und 3 Flaschen Autan bzw. genug Fenistil mit hat, wird hier zufrieden sein. Mir haben die Insekten den Urlaub 30% verdorben.

Wunderbarer Aufenthalt
Wir haben hier wunderbare zwei Wochen im Juli verbracht. Alles hat gepasst: 1) die Lage - einsam und ruhig, aber nur 5 Minuten von Einkaufsmöglichkeiten, 15 Minuten vom Strand und 30 Minuten von Lissabon entfernt. Es gibt in der Umgebung sehr viel zu sehen und zu tun. 2) der Garten ist groß, die Vegetation abwechslungsreich und man hat so viele Optionen es sich dort mit einem Buch gemütlich zu machen. 3) das Haus ist charmant und liebevoll eingerichtet. Besonders gut gefallen haben uns die vielen Kleinigkeiten, die das Leben einfacher machen: Decken für kühle Abende im Garten, Kerzen, ein Thermoskanne, einen Sonnenschirm für den Strand, ein paar Spiele, Salz und Pfeffer.... 4) Marco ist der perfekte Gastgeber, hilfreich und sehr gut zu erreichen. Ganz wichtig sind mir auch immer die Betten (rückenschonende Matratzen) und der Wasserdruck im Bad, das war beides top. Ein paar praktische Tipps für zukünftige Gäste: Das zweite Schlafzimmer ist niedrig und das Bett schmal (1,10 Meter). Unsere beiden zierlichen Grundschulkinder konnten darin schlafen, aber bei größeren Kindern wäre ich skeptisch. Für ein Kind/einen Erwachsenen/ein SEHR verliebtes Paar passt es aber. Wegen des halboffenen Geländers zum Wohnraum hin würde ich es nicht für zu junge Kinder empfehlen. Wir sind das erste Mal in ein Haus ohne Waschmaschine verreist, aber das ist kein Problem. Ein sauberer Waschsalon ist keine fünf Minuten entfernt. Wir haben das Haus schon weiterempfohlen :)

Sehr gut. Wir haben den wunderschönen Garten mit den vielen Vögeln sehr genossen und den herrlichen Ausblick. Wir haben immer einen windgeschützten Platz in der Sonne oder im Schatten gefunden. Abends haben wir den gusseisernen Ofen in der Diele angemacht, der Wärme und Gemütlichkeit verströmte. Holz war reichlich vorhanden. Garten und Haus strömten eine große Ruhe auf uns aus. Marco war unglaublich hilfsbereit. Auf Anfragen hat er sofort reagiert. Das hat uns sehr geholfen.

Estancia ruinosa. Desastre de vacaciones. Nada aconsejable. Casa ruinosa en medio de la nada.
Después de haber reservado el alojamiento con tres meses de antelación y haciendo caso de las fotos publicadas en el anuncio, llegamos a la casa con mucha ilusión, no tardó ni un minuto en desaparecer. La ubicación del alojamiento está perdida y aún con gps es difícil de encontrar. En las fotos parece una gran casa con un gran jardín muy bien cuidado, todo lo contrario. El acceso a la casa es a través de una puerta medio rota que prácticamente no se puede abrir, para entrar las maletas te las ves y te la deseas. Para acceder a la casa el propietario te hace indicado que las llaves están bajo una maceta escondidas que tienes que buscar, no me parece la mejor manera de recibir a unos huéspedes, que menos que haya alguien para recibirte. La casa ya te lo anuncian es del 1700, pero que menos que una miserable lavadora, dispone de un hornillo de camping en la cocina y un lavavajillas que caben cuatro platos. El mobiliario no puede ser más viejo. El cuarto de baño tiene una bañera de mármol incrustada en el suelo que si eres atrevido y decides usarla lo más seguro es que te caigas al entrar o salir. La pila para lavarte las manos si la usas que sepas que va a rebosar agua por una trampilla que hay en el suelo formándose un charco en el suelo. En el interior de la vivienda puedes encontrar todo tipo de bichos, arañas, con sus correspondientes telas en el techo, cucarachas, gusanos. En todas las habitaciones hay unas ventanas en techo, no sé el tiempo que llevarían sin limpiarse pero os aseguro que bastante. El precioso jardin que aparecen las fotografías no se corresponde en nada con la realidad, estaba totalmente descuidado, montones de maleza por cada rincón del jardín, amacas a punto de romperse la tela, una tumbona sujeta dos arboles que no podía estar más sucia y un montón de trastos por el medio sin ningún sentido. A pesar de todo lo descrito anteriormente lo que nos obligó a abandonar el alojamiento dos días antes de lo previsto fue que al levantarnos un día encontramos dos ratas en la cocina campando a su anchas. Enseguida se lo comunique al propietario indicándole que queríamos abandonar la vivienda después de la desagradable experiencia, en ese momento me dijo que lo sentía mucho y que no quería problemas que lo arreglaríamos compensándome la parte proporcional de los días no disfrutados. Transcurrido un mes obtuve su respuesta no me iba a devolver nada ya que en anuncio indica que pueden haber roedores, se ve que no sabe qué existen medidas.
