We have just spent four days in this wonderful region , and our accomodation in the Casa do Celeiro has been very comfortable and private . We chose the annex accomodation , with breakfast taken in the main house overlooking the ocean . Breakfasts were very good fare and a delightful way to start each day .
The welcome to the Casa was warm , the advice on where to go and what to see was sound , the conversation lively , and the overall ambience created by the owners ( Mary and Alan ) was both friendly and relaxing .
We spent more time in Sintra and its world heritage surrounds than we did in Lisbon, which although contrary to our intentions , proved to be a bonus . The Casa is perfectly situated for accessing the many delights of the Sintra region .
Our time at the Casa do Celeiro was far too short , and although this made it all the more appreciated at the time , it also means that we must make a return visit !

Rarely do you find a place where the owners live next door and treat you like friends! Alan and Mary are very warm and hospitable, and Mary's art classes are relaxed but informative - I hadn't picked up a paint brush for 30 years, and still had fun! The house is comfortable and homely and well equipped. The views are stunning (I got up at 6am to take photos of the moon over the sea - beautiful!). There are plenty of places to visit locally, but I enjoyed staying in too, luxuriating in the peace and quiet.

Everything is here: stunning views out to sea; peace and quiet in a secluded but accessible location; fabulous hill walks; comfort in the cosy cottage; friendly and most welcoming hosts, Alan and Mary who also gave us excellent advice on what to see and do while we were here. In addition I took part in one of Mary's art classes and discovered a new interest in art. We will definitely be coming back here. I love this place!!! And - there was a terrific bottle of wine waiting for us on arrival (as well as other staples).

Here is a genuine historic location, updated to contemporary tastes, but retaining the rich, earthy flavor of it heritage. Fabulous ocean views from the cottage and a pool surrounded by a magnificent setting of green flora. Day trips include many exquisite adventures. Friendly hosts are celebrated artists, who have had the vision to transform this farmette into an elegant home of inlaid stone and glass sunroom, exhibiting 'object d'art' throughout. A very special place not to miss!
