Great place to stay
The house is in walking distances 1-2 km depending on beach selection. Driving distance (20 min by car to larger grocery store). Perfect for family with active kids. Host was great and gave us several suggestions for trips. Some problems with main fuse and heating but will probably be fixed soon. Recommended! before next guest.

Wonderful place for a stay with friends
Brilliant villa for a get together with another family. The villa is well equipped, with everything we needed, including a brilliant supply of outdoor games. We really enjoyed the outdoor BBQ. A lovely area, with excellent access to high quality beaches, historic Sintra and to Lisbon. It is worth highlighting that the neighbourhood is marred by lots of barking and howling dogs, who disturbed our sleep every night, it’s really not a sound we are used to at home. The dog owners here seem to just let them bark. All in all, a lovely spot for a weeks holiday, however I would recommend ear plugs to any guests who are liable to sleep disturbances.

Great family villa
Large villa with plenty of space both inside and out. Set in a lovely little town within walking distance of shops, restaurants and the beach. Nice clean pool, although you do have to pay extra for it to be heated. Lots of other outdoor activities available. Large kitchen but lacked some essentials such as salt, pepper and oil. Late check in but we were lucky to be able to check in early. Overall a lovely big villa and perfect for our two families. Ralph and Tiffany were welcoming and very responsive to any questions.

Wonderful stay
The house was perfect for our party of two families. We loved the pool and all the different places to sit around the large grounds. The pool table and table tennis tables were great. The village was an easy walk from the house and it was also a good base for trips to Lisbon, Cascais and Sintra. Thank you, Ralph for the clear communications and for a wonderful stay.

Perfect Family Getaway!
We had an amazing stay at this vacation rental! It was perfect for our family with young children. The house was spotless, well-equipped, and had plenty of space for everyone. The kids loved the playroom and the large, fenced-in backyard. The location was fantastic, close to family-friendly attractions and beautiful beaches. The host was incredibly accommodating and provided everything we needed. We highly recommend this rental for families looking for a fun and relaxing getaway!

Nydelig sted
Huset var bedre enn antatt, bildene gir ikke kred nok. Stort kjøkken og super utegrill, dette benyttet vi oss mye av. Deilig pool. Stille område, ikke noe bråk. Fine soverom. Vi gikk til stranden (tok ca 10 min å gå) som er veldig hyggelig, ikke så stor og ikke så mange turister - god plass. Bil til andre strender nødvendig, men enkelt å finne gratis parkering. Vi handlet ikke i nærmeste by (dyrt) , men kjørte til Lidl, der får du alt, ca 20 min kjøring en vei, men verdt det og man får tak i alt (laktosefritt, økologisk og glutenfritt). Bare å nyte i denne ferieboligen

Villa magnifique
Nous avons passé un merveilleux séjour dans cet endroit magnifique. La villa est spacieuse, et très bien agencée. Le très grand jardin est un paradis pour des moments de détente (piscine, barbecue, toutes sortes de jeux, et d'adorables petits coins de verdure pour se ressourcer). La maison est très bien située pour des visites à Sintra ou Lisbonne. Un grand merci à Ralph pour sa disponibilité, son professionnalisme et sa courtoisie.

Sinfonia of Delight
We stayed at Sinfonia for a nearby family wedding, and couldn't have asked for a better villa for our time here. The space is impressive, and the kitchen and dining areas are perfect for entertaining. We were delighted with the gardens, spending hours in the pool, as well as playing petanque in the evening, and also loved waking to the sound of the blackcaps singing in the surrounding trees. Blessed with good weather, we enjoyed daytrips to both Lisbon and Sintra, which are easily accessible from here, and have also welcomed the chance to walk the local streets into Colares. Ralph was courteous, professional and more than helpful throughout our booking - thank you!

Sehr schöne Villa
Noch nie eine bessere Kommunkation mit einem Vermieter gehabt. Tolle Tips zum Essen gehen bzw. wie man am besten Sintra besichtigt. Den Abzug von einem Stern gibt es für den Pflegezusatnd des Gartens. Das Haus war im Innenbereich sehr sauber (keinerlei Beanstandung). Frühstück und Abendessen am großen Tisch im Freien neben dem Grill. Den Rest des Tages in der Laube in der Nähe des Schwimmingspools. Ruhige Gegend bis auf die Hunde in der Nachbarschaft (durch die größe der Grundstücke war das Bellen nicht zu laut). Toller Stand (Praia da Adraga) ca. 7km entfernt.

Perfect for a family get together
Ralph was completely helpful when we had to cancel twice due to Covid travel restrictions. And again with local information when we did eventually arrive two years later. Quinta Sinfonia is a large villa and would accommodate ten in comfort there were eight of us, plenty of space. The grounds are an attraction on there own with five or six different places you sit down and relax. The pool is the highlight it covered in so our grandchildren could play in it no matter the weather.

Belle villa bien située et accueil sympathique et efficace du représentant du propriétaire. Petit bémol pour le manque de chauffage en continu ( 3 hrs le matin et 3 hrs après 19h30 ) qui aurait été appréciable à cette période de l’année . Globalement nous recommandons cette location.

About the host

Hosted by Ralph Mason

Host profile image
It has always been my intention to spend time and live part of the year in the Lisbon area of Portugal close to my best friend and within easy road access to my country of birth Spain.

During a trip to Lisbon with my wife and teenage daughter three years ago we visited the historic and majestic town of Sintra and spent a few days travelling around the green and picturesque countryside of Sintra Natural Park. It soon became clear that this was the place for us.

Shortly thereafter we started to look for a property to buy and with the help of a friendly local Estate Agent we soon found and fell in love with "Quinta Sinfonia". The villa previously belonged to a musical family and has a beautiful garden and many enchanting areas including its own Chapel.

From the villa we walk to the beach of Praia das Macas (Apple Beach) some ten minutes away where there are a selection of good restaurants and bars including shops and sports facilities. On our way back home we often stop at the local market where we buy our fresh fruit and vegetables including the fresh fish to barbeque at the villa.

Although we have our own car we seldom use it as we prefer to walk to the beach and around the village or take the tram/bus to the town of Sintra some twenty minutes away from the nearby stop.

A year ago a good friend of ours introduced us to Mr Ralph Mason, owner of LIsbon Coast Cottages who has been operating in the local area for over ten years as a Property Manager. During the past year Ralph has proven himself as a trustworthy and dependable professional which has made our decision to rent the villa through him that much easier.
Because we are not yet in a position to live in Portugal all the year round we have decided to offer our villa to the public so they too can enjoy this beautiful part of Portugal.
I hope you enjoy your stay.
Diego Hernandez (Property Owner)
