Beautiful, quiet retreat
Stayed for a fortnight with our 3 teenage children, and we all had a lovely time. The house has everything you could need, and is very spacious. The pool, though small, made sitting outside a joy. Beautiful views, a delightful area, with great beaches in easy reach. Perfect.

Beautiful Villa in beautiful location
What a gem this villa was, absolutely beautiful inside and out with everything you could possibly need, including a lovely welcome pack. The villa is immaculately clean and very spacious. There were 4 adults and 2 children (12 and 9) in our group and we had plenty of space, the kids, particularly liked the American type fridge/freezer with ice cold water, ice and crushed ice dispenser. There is a very nice little bar up in the village a short walk from villa and also a fresh bakery next door to the bar, where we got our fresh bread each morning. The only down side for us was that we made the mistake of hiring a 9 seater people carrier which was not conducive with this villa and the surrounding area. I would suggest using small car(s) as the roads are very narrow and can get very busy at times.

Fantastic Relaxing Stay
My wife 2 children and I have just spent a glorious 9 days of peaceful relaxation with fantastic views at Casal Santo Antonio . The Villa is equipped with everything you need .,The décor was very tastefully done and my daughter counted that there were 42 chairs in all ,also WiFi , Dishwasher -Washing machine Tumble Dryer ,American style fridge freezer with ice/water dispenser.James bond style electric shutters which turned the place into a fortress when you went out but also kept the place cool .every thing we needed they had . We spent most of our time around the Swimming Pool (Adults)/ In the Swimming Pool (Kids).The pool has a decked area with loungers and fake grass area with a large table and chairs. The views are stunning looking down the mountainside with the sea in the distance. The are a number of fantastic sandy beaches with rock pools and caves within 5-10 miles . The nearest town is colares aprox 1-2 miles which has restaurant's , small supermarkets with fresh Bread a butchers and deli counter and also cooks rotisserie chicken spicy or plain. The villa is located by driving along a single track winding road up the mountainside into penedo There are 2 café/bars within 100 Meters walk and also a restaurant/shop which we found by chance ,when we saw some locals go through a gate and followed them to a fantastic place which sells and cooks some fantastic fresh local produce at ridiculously cheap prices. You will need to work at communicating if you don't speak Portuguese or Spanish as most of the locals don't speak English ,But they are very helpful loverly people and with a bit of pointing and with the help of a Portuguese phone app we seemed to get on great... We can't find anything bad to say about the place but the following could be an issue for some people The pool wasn't heated but in 30 degrees heat that wasn't an issue for us There is no Air con but the villa was always cool so there was no need for it Wi-Fi (a bit slow but what do you expect half way up a mountain) Expect some close shaves and a bit of reversing when meeting oncoming traffic driving to and from the Villa ,but if you take you time it isn't a problem . All in all we loved the place and would definitely go back.

The best villa with pool holiday we have ever had!
Superb villa in a quiet village within easy reach of Sintra, Lisbon, Cascais and the West coast beaches. Well appointed; the villa is fitted out with everything that we needed. Excellent Wi-Fi. The pool area is not overlooked and was the ideal retreat for the family with enough space for everyone to do their own thing. Perfect for our family with teenage children.
