5 Bedroom Villa in Monserrate, Sintra

Set in the beautiful, historic, UNESCO protected mountain range of Sintra, Quinta Matalva is a private villa located in a secluded valley with pine forest backdrops and views of the coast down the Serra. The Quinta is accessed down an off-road track that leads to only 4 Quintas ensuring seclusion and calm.
Quinta Matalva has three bedrooms in the main house and a further two in a cottage so it's perfect for a small group renting the main house only or a group of 10 who can rent the cottage too. The main house has a wide terrace which is ideal for barbecues, drinks and outside dining. Through a gate from this terrace are steps down to a private swimming pool with another terrace and sun lounges. From the main house, walk through a colonnade to the cottage which has a separate kitchen, sitting room and terrace with a dining area, ideal for anyone in the group requiring privacy such as a family with young children or grandparents. From the entire property there are superb views of the historic Dome and forests of the Palacio de Monserrate on the opposite hill and terraces of oranges, lemons and fig trees.

Summary: This is a very beautiful location and the house is laid out very well. The furnishings, kitchen, and baths could use some updating. The housekeeper and the chef were excellent. The road down to the house from the main road required some patience and skill.

Summary: The house was fabulous. Beautiful views from the patio and pool. Such a relaxing and comfortable house to stay at and so close to Sintra and all its historic sites. We walked to the Palace de Monserrate from the house. Colares was great for local food shopping and plenty of restaurants nearby to enjoy an evening meal. We hope to return again one day soon.

Summary: We had a great stay in this beautiful home. It was very clean, a great layout for our family and friends, plenty of space, and a great location within a couple blocks walk to the most family friendly beach in Lagos. The beach has 2 great places to get a good meal or take away from the beach bar. The beach has lovely tide pools at low tide our younger kids enjoyed! The location is a short drive/bike ride/uber for going into the old town area of Lagos and for hiking around the cliffs. We will definitely consider again for our next beach holiday.

Summary: We enjoyed a fantastic family reunion in this gorgeous yellow house. The location is truly magnificent with views across wild forest to the Atlantic coastline. It is the perfect place to explore the astonishing palaces in the Sintra hills and just a 20 minute drive from wild Atlantic beaches.

Summary: We stayed at Quinta Matalva for two weeks and loved it. Everything was spotlessly clean, the house was in a very quiet location and we slept really well. The kitchen is well equipped and we barbequed most nights. The owners greeted us with fresh cheese, bread and milk as well as a wonderful bottle of red. We took long walks in the woods surrounding the house and refreshing swims by the pool. The weather in Sintra is never too hot so we didn’t use the airconditioners. Do bring bug spray as mosquitos come out at night and if you grill you’ll need it. If you have very young children, the staircase in the main house looks tricky but a safety gate can be installed and I saw one in the closet. Anna the housekeeper lives nextdoor and is always available for help. She often brought us fresh vegetables from the garden. The beds were firm but comfortable and our line s fresh and changed every week. We had a lovely time!
