Summary: Such a beautiful location with thoughtful gifts like bread, cheese, wine and fresh eggs. The hike in the nature preserve on location is stunning and gives you the true feel of living like a local. Highly recommended if you want to stay off the beaten path. There are precious K9 ambassadors on site to warmly greet you with your kind host. Highly recommended!!!

Summary: If I could give this place a 10 star rating I would. This is exactly the sort of vacation home we love. Six friendly dogs to greet you at the gate and a beautiful apartment that felt like home. A pen filled with chickens and a quiet rooster, made this place feel like we were off the beaten path despite being right off the 247. Gabriela and her husband were the most accommodating and kind hosts. When we arrived, we found a loaf of fresh bread, ham and cheese and farm fresh eggs, and wine! It was perfect because we were hungry from driving directly from the airport. There is a beautiful hike right outside the back gate. 3.5 km up to the Sanctuary of Peninha, which overlooks Cascais and Cabo de Roca. We drove to three local beaches and sat and read listening to the waves. We drove to Sesimbra (an hour) and went for a swim. We drove to Cascais (half an hour) and Mafra (less than an hour), which made this spot absolutely perfect. We regret going to Porto and Lisbon to be honest. You should know Qinta de Senhora de Vida is in Colares, between the ocean and the Sintra hills, so it can feel damp and laundry takes a little longer to dry. The spot would be perfect for a family or a few quiet friends. If anyone asks me where they should go in Portugal, I am going to say this place, and don't book anywhere else.

Summary: We had a lovely stay at Gabriela’s beautiful estate in the Sintra hills. I can not imagine a more perfect host; she was the perfect mix of warm, welcoming and easy-going. Gabriela took very good care of us during our stay. We really appreciated the bread, meat, cheese, wine, fresh farm eggs and delicious homemade jam on our arrival, especially since all the grocery stores were closed on our arrival (we flew in on Easter Sunday). We especially enjoyed the garden, fruit orchard and hens. The dogs were all very gentle and sweet. One thing I was unsure about was the location, but it turned out to be one of the highlights of the stay. There is a beautiful hike literally out the back gate, we were only a short drive to Cabo da Roca and the most amazing hike/scramble/beach (Praia do Ursa). It was easy to drive to Sintra for the day. I was worried about parking, but Gabriela gave us great advice on where to park and we had no problems. Most of all, I am so grateful to have met Gabriela! Muito Obrigada!

Summary: We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, we only wish it could have been longer. The house is very clean. Our host had everything ready for us. The pellet stove was warm and inviting. Fresh eggs from the chickens on the property. Bread and wine, cookies, ham, cheese and local jam all waiting for us. The area is a world heritage site and close to magnificent beaches. We needed more than a couple of days to experience it all. The directions to the house that you find on VRBO are not correct. The site will mess you up. I suggest that you check with Gabriela on WhatsApp before proceeding to the house.

Summary: We had a very nice stay at Pedra da Lua. Gabriela was a great host, very friendly and supportive. She took very well care of us. When we arrived, we found fresh eggs (from her own chicken), bread cheese, butter, ham and fruits. The place is great in summer, when you want to escape the heat of the city. It is good for hiking and for visiting all the nice places around, like Pena, Monserrate, Castelo do Mouros, Cabo da Roca and it is not far from the beach. We enjoyed staying there for more than a week. Kerstin and Andreas
