Vacation Rental Description
This large house is built on the top of the cliffs at Magoito whose sandy beach stretches at its feet and enjoys a beautiful panorama of undeveloped coastline to the horizon. The views to the rear are of unspoilt countryside. The house is very roomy and lends itself to large group or family holidays.
On the ground floor are the living and dining rooms, kitchen, bathroom, garage and a large terrace with a small swimming pool; beyond is a lawned garden and open countryside. The house not only has a barbecue, but a charming wood burning oven (to complement the conventional cooker in the kitchen) for delicious, simple and healthy meals.
The first floor comprises four spacious bedrooms, all with balconies and plenty of storage space, and a bathroom. And on the top floor, only available to bookings of more than eight, are two very large bedrooms with a shared bathroom, which can each comfortably sleep four people.
The pretty swimming pool has a lovely sea view and a perfect exposure, getting the sun most of the day; the pool is relatively small which means the water is very pleasantly warm! Beyond the pool we find the lawned garden ,again with splendid views; this is an ideal spot for children's games or simply to relax and read a book!
For parties larger than 16 we have another villa close by for up to 8 additional people.

Sintra, 15km away, is unique and deserves its status as a world heritage site. First the Moors, then the Portuguese kings who expelled them, built their castles and palaces there. Later ages brought rich foreigners who created villas and palaces with lush gardens and romantic architecture - outdone by king Don Fernando, whose bizarre palace anticipated mad King Ludwig's Rhine castles by several years.
Sintra is famed for its 'queijadas' and local wines from Colares. Local restaurants are both good and inexpensive. Wineries can be visited in person or as part of an organised tour. The owner of the villa also owns the local beach restaurant and cafe Duna Mar 300m away. She will prepare delicious dishes to savour at the restaurant or will deliver them at the villa.
