Fabulous place for a family holiday!
Casa Heleno is a lovely house with beautiful gardens and a fantastic view across the valley towards the palaces at Sintra. We spent much time sitting on the terrace admiring the view and using the pool. Maria was a very attentive host who clearly cares about the house and her guests. There are two restaurants within walking distance. We would gladly come again and would highly recommend this house!

wonderful property
This property had spectacular views of several palaces, they looked awesome lit up at night. The house was very comfortable with a very well equipped kitchen. The pool was fantastic after a day of sightseeing. The proximity to Sintra was great. The castles and palaces we visited were all within a half hour drive. We visited several beaches that were within 15-20 minute drive. Restaurants were located close by also. The grounds were beautiful, and interesting to explore. The house was decorated lovely, I would not hesitate to stay here again and would recommend it highly. The host was extremely easy to contact and was very responsive, overall a very enjoyable stay.

Beautiful place
We had a lovely stay here. Maria was there to greet us and give us the lay of the house. She was so sweet. The home is quaint and had everything we needed. And when there was a plumbing issue in the upstairs bathroom, she sent someone right away the next day to fix it. She was very responsive on Vrbo messages prior and during the trip. The grounds are stunning and landscaping impeccable. There isn’t a hot tub as the listing states. But the pool is so nice! Overall, we would definitely recommend this house for your Sintra stay. It’s a little removed from the busier parts which we loved, and it only took 6-8 minutes to get an Uber there, so not bad. Uber is readily available everywhere, and downtown old Sintra is the cutest, quaintest place for restaurants, shops, etc and it’s only 10-15 min from this house. We did have to message her and ask her to make up the one single bed my friend stayed in and they came right away the next day to do that. Maria was so friendly and accommodating. She even sent a technician to teach us how to use the fireplace because my mom gets cold and the evening and mornings were chilly in May. Lovely!

Perfect location
The villa is perfectly located with beautiful views across the valley to the palaces at Sintra (although we did have very misty mornings and evenings during our stay) Quiet and away from the crowds but easy to reach Lisbon and the coast and just book an Uber to get straight to the Pena Palace in the mornings. Easy walk down to the two traditional village restaurants The decor and furnishings in the villa are very traditional, well presented and spotlessly clean. Some areas may need a little updating but there is everything there that you would need and we felt very comfortable The external area is very attractive and well kept with a lovely pool , unfortunately we couldn't make the most of this as the weather although very pleasant wasn't hot enough to warm the pool at all Maria was a very welcoming and helpful host; we very much enjoyed our stay here

Lovely Sintra
Wir hatten als vierköpfige Familie einen tollen Urlaub in diesem schönen Ferienhaus. Das Haus entspricht voll der Beschreibung bzw. den Bildern und der Ausblick auf die Sehenswürdigkeiten von Sintra ist einmalig. Vielen Dank auch an die sehr hilfsbereite und leicht zu kontaktierende Gastgeberin Fr. Schumann.

Beautiful views, traditional home, very sweet host
We rented the property for a 2 week summer holiday. Maria was kind and caring, and was responsive to all of our questions. The house is very traditional, so could use a few upgrades, but there was plenty of space to spread out and enjoy ourselves. The view is spectacular. The property is quiet and in a peaceful neighborhood. My boys loved the pool and playing around the grounds.

Absolutely beautiful location. Amazing views
The location of the property is amazing, to the north of the Serra Sintra hills so you can see the Moorish Fort, Pena and Monserrate Palaces whilst sitting on the terrace. The pool is huge and great for swimming. Gardens around the house are beautifully tended. The remainder of the 2 hectares is more rural, but nice to explore (if the weather is cooler). You do need a car to stay here as it's quite rural, but close to several small towns/villages. Sintra is only 15 mins by car. The house is large and has all facilities needed. We tended to spend the main part of the day at the house and pool and then visit the historic sites from mid afternoon onwards. Cascais and the beaches are in easy range too. Would fully recommend for a relaxed holiday.

Excellent family week holiday in Sintra
We were a family of 6 adults for a week and had a wonderful time. The property was clean and spacious, and had everything we needed, the pool was a good size and cleaned during our stay. The gardens were beautiful and there were plenty of chairs and shades for sunbathing. . The views across to the National park were amazing - especially at night. Maria was a delightful host and extremely helpful. There was a generous and very welcome snack on our arrival at midnight! It was a bit fiddly to get to - you would need a car - but only half an hour from Lisbon. Thanks very much.

Un séjour parfait!
Une vue à couper le souffle sur Sintra et ses châteaux, la maison et son terrain sont très bien entretenus, avec équipement complet, la propriétaire a été également très accueillante. La proximité de Lisbonne et des plages nous ont également beaucoup plu, attention quand même aux petites routes un peu étroites. Nous avons passé 15 jours de bonheur en famille.

We spend a wonderful week in this spacious and very well equipped villa. The house has a lot of charm : a beautiful and very well maintained garden, a large swimming pool, a very well oriented terrace that offers a splendid view of the mountain of Sintra and its castles. We highly recommend this Villa, the ideal starting point to discover Lisbon and Sintra.

Heerlijke villa
Deze villa ligt in een prachtige omgeving vlakbij allerlei mooie en leuke bezienswaardigheden. Het strand met prachtige rotspartijen en leuke strandtentjes ligt op 10 minuutjes rijden. De communicatie verliep prettig en de foto’s op de site geven precies weer zoals de villa is. Met een prachtige tuin omgeven en heerlijk rustig in een stil wat afgelegen dorpje. Prima te bereiken met de auto die je wel nodig hebt aangezien er in de buurt van de villa niets te beleven valt. Deze villa is een zeer fijne plek om vakantie door te brengen. Wij hebben genoten.

Beautiful villa near Sintra
This a really lovely house in a fantastic location just outside Sintra with amazing views across the immaculate garden and pool to the famous and colourful hilltop Palacio de Pena. Very quiet location but easy access to Sintra, Lisbon, Estoril and the Atlantic coast. Very friendly and helpful owner and property manager. Thanks for a a great week!

Great location near to Sintra and beaches
We stayed at this villa in the second half of August. Wonderful sanctuary from the peak season crowds, fabulous view, beautiful garden, ample accommodation for our party of 6 and large pool. If you want a more rural location but with easy accesses to beaches and Sintra, this is a great place to stay.

Perfect House for us
7 of us (4 adults and 3 teenagers) stayed for a week in July. The house is fabulous and exactly what we needed for a holiday. It is clearly a much loved house for Maria and, as a result, it is a fantastic place to stay. Maria was an excellent host. The kitchen is excellent with a very good range of condiments and basic cooking items. The bedrooms are great. There are two doubles on the lower level which are serviced by two bathrooms. There is a larger bedroom with 3 beds on the upper level with its own bathroom. The grounds are just fantastic. The pool is large and was a perfect size for us. The lawn is luscious and the beautiful gardens are extremely well maintained. There is a fabulous view across to the all the local landmarks (Palacio Pena, Palacio Nacional, Moorish Castle, Quinta De Regaleira, Monserrate, etc) The bonus for us was all the fruit trees. We were encouraged to eat as many apricots as we could, because they were the trees that were in fruit at the time that we were there. I would describe the location as semi-rural since it is on the outskirts of the village of Nafarros. We walked into the two restaurants in village. There is a small supermarket in nearby villages. Sintra is very easy to access (a short drive) and there is a large supermarket there. There is also a large and free carpark at the Portela de Sintra station for access to Lisbon (40 mins by train). The nearby beaches at Praia Grande and Praia das Macas are sandy and clean. We found many good restaurants in the local area.

Style and comfort
The two don’t always go together but here they do! Beautiful home with a fantastic garden and a most charming hostess! Lots of space even for six. The kitchen was wonderful and very easy to work in. Main bedrooms up a short flight of stairs with a bath and a half. The property is centrally located being right between Sintra and all of the wonderful beaches. We were blessed with beautiful weather but it was cool enough that the pool was a bit chilly. We would love to return for a longer stay.

Magnifique maison avec vue splendide et imprenable
Accueil très chaleureux. Maria a été une hôte parfaite. La maison est t belle, piscine superbe (eau salée). Le jardin est magnifique et t bien entretenu. Largement assez de transats... La vue est ... exceptionelle, sur les palais de Sintra et le parc naturel. On mange des figues et des pommes du jardin. Cuisine t bien équipée, avec Nespresso, quantité d'ustensiles, serviettes de bain - on a trouvé l'équipement parfait. T tranquille (à part quelques jours de fête dans le village voisin, pas très dérangeant). ON reviendra!

Excellent family home
We stayed at Heleno House in the middle of August with our family and had a splendid time. The house is very comfortable and well equipped. The location is excellent but in a quiet spot. Conveniently located, within short driving distance from beaches, Sintra, Cascais and Lisbon. The owner, Maria, is a wonderful and helpful host. The garden is gorgeous and well taken care of. The view from the property is second to none! Sitting outside on the porch watching Palacio da Pena and Montserrat in the distance - just spectacular! The pool is clean with enough chairs for everyone to relax. There are plenty of towels for pool use. The house does not feel like a rental but it really makes you feel at home. Thank you, Maria. We highly recommend this property.

Séjour parfait!
Nous avons loué la Villa Heleno une semaine début aôut et avons été enchanté! La Villa dispose de tout l'équipement nécessaire, la piscine et le jardin sont très agréables et la vue splendide. Qui plus est, Maria est vraiment charmante et disponible. Nous avons pu nous rendre 3 jours à Lisbonne (à 35-40 minutes de la Villa) et visiter Sintra et ses châteaux. La région regorge d'activités qui valent vraiment la peine (notamment le palais de Monseratte juste en face à 15 minutes de la Villa - magnifiques jardins!). Les plages sont également toutes proches (avec de très bons restaurants avec vue sur mer!!!!). Nous recommandons cette location sans hésiter. Merci encore Maria!

Prachtig vakantiehuis!
Een prachtig vakantiehuis met eigen zwembad en bbq-gelegenheid. Schitterend uitzicht op de heuvels van Sintra. Zeer rustig en landelijk gelegen met een zeer fraai aangelegde tuin. Het huis is van alle gemakken voorzien. Supermarkt, strand en culturele uitstapjes zijn in de directe omgeving te vinden. Lissabon in nog geen 30 min. Hartelijke ontvangst door de vriendelijke eigenaresse Maria met kaas en wijn. Genoten van een heerlijke zomervakantie in dit prachtige huis!

Traumurlaub in Traumkulisse
Die großzügige Villa liegt etwas außerhalb von Sintra in einem sehr großen und sehr gepflegten Anwesen. Hier ist es absolut ruhig und man hat einen tollen Blick auf Sintra und die Umgebung und auf das Meer. Einkaufsmöglichkeiten (nur mit Auto) sind sehr gut. Das Haus hält alles, was versprochen wird. Die Eigentümerin ist sehr nett, gastfreundlich und hilfsbereit. Wir werden sicherlich wiederkommen.

Beautiful Home!
This property is beautiful! I can't say enough about the breathtaking view and the beautiful garden! Not only was there a pool but also fruit trees which were both uses by my friends and I every morning. There is nothing better than being able to jump in the big pool and eat fresh figs and apples every morning. The house was very clean, well maintained and had everything you need to make you feel at home! Maria is very nice, she even left us some goodies waiting inside! I couldn't ask for anything more!
