Holiday houses in Serra da Arrábida

We enjoyed our stay at Eduardo's place very much. The house was just as described in the AirBnb ad. The house is spacious for 10 persons, a well equipped kitchen. One can see that it is also used by the family wich we found very nice and personal, cosy. As it was so early in the season, the house was a bit humid after the winter, but there were radiators to take care of that. Not too far from the village Azetao but the surroundings were fantastic! The national park is so beautiful. The house was also very private and clean.

We spent 14 nights in the accommodation. The kitchen is equipped with everything you need for cooking or baking. I was very impressed that there was even a kitchen scale. It is very quiet here, you are surrounded by nature. The outdoor shower is great, but we did not use it to avoid a mosquito infestation in the room. The village of Aldeia do Meco has great restaurants for both lunch and dinner. But cafés for breakfast can also be reached by car in less than 5 minutes. It is also not far to the beaches of Meco, but a car is required to explore the area here. Alternatively, you can also relax by the pool. Your own garden offers plenty of privacy. We really enjoyed our time here and would be happy to come back.

The place is very cute and the beach and how open and undeveloped the beach was is unlike anywhere else. We did three days of surf lessons from Caeser who is literally 100ft from the house down the beach and there is surfing right out your front door with board and wetsuit rentals.. The town itself is a little bleak and there wasn't much to do and we found if the weather was bad restaurants close very early (like 6pm) so just make sure to find out times if you are planning on eating out for dinner. Our family of four was in love (2 boys ages 7 and 10) but my in laws came too who are in their early 80s. I clearly wasn't thinking bc the walk to the house is through the sand and hard to navigate, my mother in law also couldn't get over the sand dune to go to the beach, and the stairs in the house are more like a ladder. so it's wonderful for able bodies but if you have someone with special needs it may not be suitable. but otherwise if you love surfing, beautiful sunsets book it!

Loved everything about this air BnB. Celso had thought of absolutely everything, probably the most well equipped air BnB we’ve ever stayed in. To wake up in the dunes and watch sunset from them was such a treat - hope to return again soon! Recommend avoiding heavy luggage and packing smaller overnight bags to make it easy getting from the car park to the air BnB. Would also recommend princesa beach club for lunch nearby, had a great day here.

It was our best experience with Airbnb by far. Everything was just perfect: amazing views, well equipped kitchen, clean bathroom, powerful shower, comfortable bed. Falling asleep to the sound and smell of the sea felt like the best feeling in the world! The host was super responsive, helpful and provided great recommendations of things to do in the area. Thank you!!!

Paula was amazing, so helpful, went over and beyond to help us and provide us with lots of info. So friendly, offered to book restaurants for us etc The house is fabulous better than the pictures for location and peacefulness . Swimming pool was lovely all the outside sofas. The view of the mountains was just wonderful. You need a car to drive to village, best village is azetitio, lovely restaurants and shops. Great local cafe and very reasonable compared to london prices. We drove to different places and different beaches. Loved Lisbon 44 mins away. Cascais was a pretty town but too touristy. Comporta was amazing, super special, wonderful place to eat and unusual shops. We drove to it 1hour but you. A get a ferry from Setabul €35 for three people. Thank you Paula for a great stay.

A truly peaceful and special place. The home is beautifully maintained, tranquil, and in a perfect location—close to the city but quiet enough to fully relax. I’ve never shaken off jet lag so quickly. The hosts were kind, communicative, and made everything easy. The friendly cats roaming the property added a warm, homey touch. Part of me wants to keep this gem a secret, but it deserves to be shared. Highly recommended

We have stayed with many Star Hosts on Airbnb, but I can easily say that Iza’s place and preparation were in a class of their own. We would repeat this booking without question — and will probably be looking for excuses to come back to Lisbon just to stay with her.
