We tremendously enjoyed our stay at the Casa!! Everything was as described and photographed, and the hosts were very helpful and friendly. The Cottage is very cozy and warm, filled with art, and all the comforts we needed. The pool was breathtaking and we were lucky to have some great hot days to take advantage of it. We did a lot of hiking in the hills nearby and had a fabulous day at the beach. The smaller villages nearby are very unspoiled and beautiful to wander around in, and of course visits to Sintra and Cascais were high points. We highly recommend this place for its charm, attentive hosts, and perfect location.

Unforgetable Holidays. The house is comfortable and really cosy.
The views, specially from the swimming pool are gorgeous.
The owners live just beside and were very respectfull of our privacy.
We had a really great time and we made many delicious barbecues...
Highly recommended!

We spent two wonderful weeks at the Casa do Celeiro with our twins (12), and with our parents and we enjoyed every minute of it. The house and garden are beautiful and in an ideal spot. Secluded, but not remote, with the most stunning view of Almocageme and the Atlantik, an individual, tranquil and very private place that felt like home after just a few hours.

Mary and Alan were the kindest hosts. They made us feel very welcome and were always ready to help or advise - a walk, a beach or a restaurant or local events. We enjoyed their easy going, warm and entirely unobtrusive hospitality very much.

The combination of the house and the separate bedrooms in the hall and in the 'Annex' fit our needs for a stay with our children and our parents perfectly. The garden has beautiful spots to sit and chill in and we enjoyed catering for ourselves as much as we enjoyed the local restaurants.

In the middle of October we were lucky enough to have 10 days of warm, sunny weather and could explore everything, the beautiful area has to offer. It is great for sports - kite surfing, surfing, golf, mountainbiking as well as hiking and running - or for putting your motor bike to a test on the winding roads to Colares and beyond. A beautiful combination of nature and also for culture, with Sintra and Lisbon - and Mary's art gallery in Almocageme! - just around the corner.

My family and I have just returned from a wonderful holiday in Casa do Celeiro. The house, the setting, the location, the surroundings and the views are fabulous. There are so many activities to do and things to see in the area that all the members of my familiy were entertained and thoroughly enjoyed themselves. It is even suitable for children, my 2 year old son loved it, spent most of the days either in the house's pool or on the beach. Lisbon Zoo and Oceanario are also great attractions for the children.
There are plenty of things to do and see, for all different types of people. Fun and exciting things for the youngsters, quiet relaxing activities for families, romantic and charming for couples and all sorts of activities or sports for those more into adventure. As I said before anybody who travels in the Sintra area can find great things to do and see and really enjoy themselves. Casa do Celeiro is the perfect location to get to any place or any attraction in the area.
Mary and Alan were wonderful hosts. Very welcoming, helpful and even though they live in the same courtyard you can barely notice they are there. When you do see them however they are all smiles and ready to offer advice or help. Their house and its location provided us all with the perfect retreat to relax and enjoy ourselves.
