Vacation rentals with a fireplace in Grândola

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at Ahua Portugal, where our host Anne guided us with thoughtful local tips and quick responses. Nestled on a peaceful hillside above Seixe Valley, the modern house had every comfort we needed and felt like the perfect retreat. We were deeply inspired by Anne’s dedication to the land. She has led a reforestation project across her 18-hectare estate, planting over 30,000 cork trees to restore the forest after wildfires. Tip: Do plan to bring a reliable car. The unpaved access roads are best navigated with a vehicle that has good clearance. If you’re seeking a serene, private getaway with a caring, responsive host deeply connected to her land, Ahua Portugal is an exceptional choice! Five stars all the way, and thank you, Anne!

We had a gorgeous stay here with our toddler. The house had everything we needed for traveling with a child and was complete with toys, beach going needs like towels, umbrellas, and beach toys, as well as a crib and high chair. We borrowed their bikes and explored town and loved visiting the gelato place that’s around the corner. At night, we listened to the frogs in the rice paddies behind the house and loved watching the bird life during the day. Getting to the beach was quick and easy and we spent two days there. Thank you for sharing your home with us!

Christina was extremely helpful and an excellent host. As a superhost myself, I would absolutely rate this place a 5 star. Her level of communication was excellent providing us with a driver and great local recommendations. I highly recommend having a hired driver while visiting the area if you want to travel outside the square.

Our family of 5 had a wonderful week at Ed's beautiful Cabanas. It is really well set up for a family and really has everything you could need (e.g. beach chairs, beach towels, buckets and spades) as well as a washing machine & dryer, which is very much appreciated when travelling with children! We stayed in May half term week and the weather was lovely and the heated pool excellent. It's a lovely peaceful area and the scenery is stunning (there is quite a bit of building going on in the region but it is generally well screened and there was nothing that disturbed the peace for us). The beaches are beautiful and close by. Eating out was easy and there were lots of options even though I think the season was just getting going - Ed gave us some great recommendations. Thank you!

Amazing place, the view is so incredible, we spent a really great time at the villa, it is peaceful, beautiful and private! If I come back to Portugal I would definitely want to come back! Thank you again for everything!

If you want a real local Sintra experience then this is your place. Charming house with a lot of character, charm and history. We were a group of 6 and cooked in for dinner 2 of the three nights. Very close to town center for walking. It’s a very hilly town so if you like walking it’s great for you. Maria could not have been nicer.

An incredible place with an amazing atmosphere. A spacious property located in a quiet area surrounded by forest, offering complete privacy and relaxation. The house is stunning, decorated with exceptional style. We felt extremely comfortable here. Everything you could possibly need and more for a comfortable stay is provided, both in the house and on the property. It's truly a magical place you’ll want to return to again and again. Thank you!

Duarte was a communicative, responsive and helpful host - we really appreciated this as there's only so much you can research online. The location of Casa da Encosta is magical, the fact you can't park outside makes it all the more special with no immediate road noise. The small terraced garden which surrounds the house is totally charming, offering plenty of little places to separate yourself from others should you wish and read a book or enjoy the view. Fixtures and fittings are of a high standard and the renovation executed thoughtfully. The feeling of being inside a jewelled box comes to mind. Yet it feels like someone's home and you feel welcome in it. A thoroughly enjoyable stay in a remarkable region of Portugal. Thank you.

Thank you for the lovely stay in Lisbon in a very nice apartment with comfortable master bed, great view from the balcony with wonderful view. Great kitchen, exciting furniture with history. In the windowless, small bathroom, it quickly becomes very stuffy, but still well equipped for the size.

amazing place with the best view. so good that we didn't want to leave at all. best with a car as it's well catered for that would go back!

Beautiful property, scenic views of the sea and sunset, fast wifi and Netflix. Sara was quick to respond to my questions and was very helpful. I recommend this place for those who love peaceful, quiet and relaxing surroundings.

Artur was an incredible host and we loved our stay at his beautiful home! He went above and beyond to provide recommendations, flexible check in and luggage storage options, and a thoughtful welcome gift for our group. Him and his family were proactive and responsive in communicating, which made our stay a breeze. The apartment is comfortable, clean, bright, large, and great for a group (especially with its beautiful patio). The location was convenient and walkable to many of the tourist sites, and accessible via metro and tram as well. I highly recommend Artur’s home for anyone hoping to explore Lisbon!

beautiful, spacious apartment in great location. added bonus of an outside terrace to relax after a busy day. very close to train station where hop on/off buses and tuk tuks will take you to all the sights. trains make it a little noisy, but worth it for the location. plenty cafes and restaurants around

My partner and I started at Ricky and Diana’s for four nights and we had a lovely stay. They were very responsive and always available to answer any questions and queries. Check in was smooth and well described. The area itself of the place was well located and in close proximity to a number of restaurants and bars, as well as popular attractions such as the National Pantheon and Feira de Ladra. Our hosts did let us know beforehand of the festivities that took place each night so of course whilst it was noisy, we appreciated the heads up. We also really appreciated the port left to us and a bottle of wine which was a really nice touch. Thank you Ricky & Diana!

Highly recommended! The apartment is super centrally located and equipped with everything you might need! Communication was warm and helpful! We found the apartment super nice and felt absolutely comfortable! Thank you so much for everything! ❤️❤️❤️

Very spacious and quiet , with stunning views! You feel at home right away. There is a small cafe/bakery just next door and we found it easy to walk (if you didn't want to drive) into town along the coastline which was beautiful! The Ribeira beach is very close and you can basically check the wave status from your bedroom. It was very windy when we were there, so it was difficult to sit on the patio, but the back patio is enclosed with a small table, great place to have breakfast and look at the ocean and country side. Highly recommend!

Gorgeous villa with stunning views! We had a multigenerational family vacation here and everyone loved the place. All the rooms are larger that they look in photos. If you go in the spring, expect a mix of mostly stormy and some sunny days. In rainy days we focused on museums in Lisbon. Sunny days were stunning in the villa. So glad this beautiful home is preserved and enjoyed by many people!

Very welcoming place, surrounded by nature, which provides a relaxing stay! From the reception to the room, everything was very organized and sanitized. Dinner was well served with the disposition of a fantastic team. We can't fail to mention the employee Erika for the helpful service she provided throughout the stay. Undoubtedly an experience to be repeated, since we left the place with great nostalgia.

We had such a wonderful time at Julia’s charming property. It’s the perfect antidote to boring hotels or bulk standard villas. The house has such character, with thick stone walls and beautiful antique furniture. The outdoor kitchen is perfect to prepare long leisurely lunches by the pool, with stunning views of the surrounding countryside. If you want to unwind and relax almost immediately it’s the perfect hideaway from the modern world. Julia is a wonderful host; highly communicative and helpful, but very discreet and respectful of her guests’ privacy. Her docile, friendly dog, Liefje, is just gorgeous, but won’t bother you if you prefer that. We wanted to see her as much as possible! It was so hard to leave such a magical place.

An idyllic place to spend a week with close friends. The house was made for both relaxing in gorgeous spaces and easy exploration of the area. Meal prep for a large crowd was a breeze in the well equipped kitchen. There is a great market close by and there are several restaurants within a short distance from the house. João was an incredible host, checking in a few times to make sure we were comfortable and well supplied. We felt fortunate to have landed in such a wonderful place. Thank you João!

Unfortunately I couldn't stay but Roberta was fantastic start to finish and I look forward to rebooking this amazing place soon. Thank you.

This place was perfect for what we were looking for. We needed somewhere that could accommodate 9 of us, 6 adults and 3 children under 3. The house itself was beautiful, very tidy and had so much space. The hosts Ana and Nuno had thought of the children and provided us with cots, high chairs, children’s dinnerware, and even things for the children to play with. The swimming pool was gated off as described. The location felt really private and quiet, with beautiful views of the sea. We were able to walk down to the local shops and beach of Praia das Maçãs, so we didn’t need to hire a car. Ana was so friendly and helpful before and during our stay. We had such a lovely time here, and would love to come back one day.

Nuno was an extremely helpful and welcoming host, and his home was a great base for us for the week. Some lovely shops and restaurants within walking distance, and an easy drive to the local beaches

We had such a lovely stay in Comporta! We were visiting friends and truly enjoyed this classic Comporta home. The house was stunning, beautifully decorated with stylish, upscale touches like oversized towels, kitchen essentials, and cozy spaces that felt both elevated and comfortable. It’s perfectly on-brand for the dreamy beach town that Comporta is. The heated pool was a major plus and super easy to use! The location was ideal, just a 5-minute walk to great local restaurants and about 15-20 minutes to the beach. So much to see, do, and soak in… we already can’t wait to return to this little slice of paradise. A note for future guests: doors in Portugal lock automatically—don’t forget your keys! We learned the hard way, but the hosts went above and beyond to help us get back in. Unfortunately, we had a last-minute change of plans and had to leave a day early, though we easily could have stayed forever. Highly recommend this beautiful home and incredible hosts!
