Holiday houses in Aldeia Gavinha

Jose’s place is a little paradise in Alenquer with such an amazing array of flora and wildlife. The pool is large and well equipped with many sun loungers. A breakfast mostly made from produce grown within the gardens was made on the Sunday morning (the jam, cheesecake and carrot cake were particularly good, best we’ve ever tasted!) which was a very welcome surprise. Paola created some lemonade with Lemons and mint from the gardens and it was simply delicious. Jose even gave us five huge Sicilian Lemons to take with us once we left for home! We were staying for four days as we were over from the UK for a wedding which was hosted only 1km away, but we have to say this place would easily justify a holiday in itself. Everyone couldn’t do enough to help us, given my wife is 30 weeks pregnant and our overall experience of Jose’s place, Alenquer and Portugal was nothing short of beautiful. Thank you Jose and Paola for treating us like a King and Queen during our stay, we will never forget

The tower is part of a larger property, but pretty far from the main house and extremely quiet. The gal at the house was super friendly to help with check in and our bags as we arrived early. We had an issue with wifi, which wasn't able to be resolved during our stay (realized it after business hours and the next day was a holiday), but they helped us access internet for a work meeting and were accommodating. The tower was spectacular and the view was something else. The room is small, but we spent most of our time in Sintra or on the rooftop!

This tiny home is the perfect mix of remote and romantic. The view is stunning, and the location is close by wonderful towns and beaches, like Azoia, Sesimbra, and Praia do Penedo. We enjoyed relaxing on the property and cooking meals from home, while having close proximity to other activities further inland like horseback riding on beach cliffs with Lits Horses and cave kayaking the Sesimbra coast with Our Roots. It was the perfect stay!

What an incredible location! Pure relaxation! Loved our time and will be back! Thank you to Samuel for all that you did to assist making our style a great one! Restaurant recommendation was also appreciated!

This villa was amazing on every level. We travelled as a three family group with children and infants. The pictures do not do it justice. The view is amazing and the house is designed around it. The house was pristine in every way and Susanna was an amazing host. She could not have been more helpful - catered to our every need. We loved the daily clean, the pool speakers and the heated pool. We loved that the kitchen was organised and provided a huge variety of equipment (we love to cook). We used the BBQ - a refundable deposit needed to ensure it was clean (not an issue). The supply of pool towels and toys was a lovely touch too. This villa was a fantastic base for a day visit to Lisbon. A car is 100% needed but close driving distance to shops/places to eat/beach (within 30 minutes). We would thoroughly recommend this villa to anyone without hesitation.

Wow what an amazing stay! Luis was an incredible host who welcomes you as you arrive. The place was beautifully decorated, perfectly clean, and there were bonuses like fresh eggs and bread awaiting us. This was one of the best Airbnbs I’ve stayed in. The attention to detail inside the house makes you feel right at home. There is everything you need to cook, sleep well, and relax. And looking out at the countryside view was peaceful and relaxing. We even went out to see the chickens getting fed one morning. And made a salad from lettuce from the garden! We definitely give this 10/10. Thank you Luis for giving us a stay to remember! 🙏🏼

We had such a lovely stay over the month we stayed here. Felt completely at home. The house was so clean, comfortable and had everything one could need. The backyard, pool, and pool room made our stay extra luxurious. Working remotely was easy with a strong wifi connection and a proper office to work from. Lina was so kind, welcoming, and responsive. Any questions we had, she was quick to respond. The house is in a beautiful area, close to some great towns, epic surf, and beautiful vineyards. A great place to stay whether family, friends, or couples.

This is a magical place and we are very thankfull that we could make it our home for a long weekend. It was beautiful from the inside and the outside. With cosy corners to sit and read by yourself, or nice bigger tables to eat or chat with the whole group together. The pool, the view, it is even more breath taking then on the pictures. We really had the most amazing time with our group of friends! Thank you Sergio!
