Family-friendly holiday rentals in Sintra

Rita's place was the nicest Airbnb I have ever stayed in. We stayed with 8 adults & it was very comfortable for all. This place has everything you could need for your stay including a full kitchen with all equipment, several spacious double bedrooms with extremely comfortable beds, air conditioning in each room, there was a beautiful back garden area with a swimming pool, sun loungers and a long table for meals outside. We spent a lot of time enjoying the outdoor space. There was also a fantastic barbeque outside which we made use of and made lovely group dinners. The games room downstairs was an amazing touch and we had such fun using it. The location here was brilliant, it was about a 7 minute walk to the supermarket and lots of restaurants and the beach. Everything you need closeby! We would highly recommend booking this place in Ericeira if you are planning a trip there. Communication with the host was perfect, we will be back! Thank you for everything Rita & Didi!

Great experience! Vladimir is very hospitable and easy to communicate. The house is very clean and cosy and has all the necessary equipment. We really enjoyed our stay!

Miguel was very friendly and flexible with the check in and check out time. The apartment is large with a great view! We had a lovely stay.

My daughter and I had a great time in this apartment, which is in the center of everything. Christiane was a very responsive host. Thanks for a wonderful stay!

This is my third time staying here. The flat is extremely convenient, being close to bus stops, a subway station, restaurants, cafes, and supermarkets. It is fully equipped with all the necessary furniture and appliances. Thanks to close communication with Jorge, I had a comfortable and worry-free stay this time too. I sincerely appreciate his support and hospitality. I would like to recommend this flat to everyone. I am looking forward to repeating my stay here in the near future.

Wonderful home that matches the host. Stunning from inside to out and very well maintained. The children (and adults) were very entertained with the arcade room and others. Great bbq which I recommend using as not many restaurants for large groups (unless you drive a bit) the kitchen was excellent, not only was it fully equipped, but the equipment was all in very good order to use. Good size grounds where the kids could burn energy and it’s helped to have such large car space at the front as we had 3 vehicles. As we went in December with the cooler weather the pool didn’t quite heat up enough to use (although the daring kids braved the chill and went in a couple of times). Also due to the cooler months it was difficult to get longer periods of hot water so we had to be mindful of when taking showers etc. Overall this is a 5* property and host and couldn’t recommend enough!

This is the second time me and my family stayed at Paulo's place because we had an excellent stay the first time around. With young kids its good to know in advance that I'm going to stay at a great place, plenty of space for the the kids to play around and also unbeatable area with super market literally just below, plenty of restaurants and bars, and the beach a less than 10 minute walk. Since I go often to Lisbon to visit family, it is good to know that we have an excellent and reliable place to stay close by.

Lino was super responsive to any questions/requests I had. He offered a lot of helpful local insights volunteered much help (e.g., making reservations for dinner at places impossible to book last minute). The view from all rooms are simply stunning!! Plenty of dining options near by, a few minutes drive to many wonderful beaches for swimming or surfing. Supermarket is three drive away as well, which also offer excellent cheap but nice cook to order quick bites. So much can be said about the property, location, and the host. Definitely one of the better gems from all the super hosts I have stayed with and strongly recommend to any sizable group of four to eight.

Patricia was fantastic and very responsive. Sparrows nest in Centra was right in the middle of everything but still felt private. Very walkable to everywhere we wanted to be. The home is comfortable and beautiful and we had a great day. Would definitely stay there again.

Pedro's flat was clean, large and exactly like pictures and description. Fast internet...at least 200Mbs d/u speed and direct access to router if one needs to plug directly via ethernet. The location in Alfama is very central and is on main road with the 28 trolley running directly in front of the building. The noise from street and trolley is minimal. For those who don't know Lisbon, the city in extremely hilly and Alfama even more, so be aware that you will be walking uphill or up stairs very often if you choose this neighborhood. There is another vacation rental upstairs from the flat and depending on how those guests may walk, there could be noise as it is an older building with wood floors. We were aware of small shower...which is accurate...but the volume/pressure of water and very hot temperatures made the shower better than most. Overall, Pedro's flat is great choice and met all expectations.

We had a great time in Cascais. The bright, sunny spot and parking right outside the door were major plus points. It was the perfect size for four adults. The kitchen was spacious and there was plenty of seating for everyone. We were able to bring the dogs and there were lots of beautiful places to walk and visit in the area.

Juan was super to work with and we enjoyed our stay here. He was very communicative and pointed us to good restaurants and the supermarket. It is in a great location a few blocks from the Castelo and close to attractions, the local Pingo Doce supermarket (important for a longer stay!) and restaurants. Comfortable bed. There is no washer so factor that in, laundromats are a 10 minute walk away. And it is not suitable for someone who cannot manage a very narrow staircase. The apartment is cozy, it’s a great fit for someone looking to spend most of their time exploring Lisbon, not so much for spending long periods indoors. A Keurig would be a nice add-on. Quiet at night, can be loud during the day because of tourists. In short, a great place for 1 or 2 people to explore Lisboa from and it met our needs well. If you plan on spending most of your time indoors seek a larger apartment.

We had a great stay here, it was perfect for our family vacation. The house is beautiful and very well taken care of, with spacious bedrooms, a large family room and well-equipped kitchen. The garden and pool were also lovely - private and quiet and a great place to hang out. The beach and train station were both a short walk, and Estoril is well-situated for trips to Lisbon and Cascais or to explore towns along the coast. Catarina was a fantastic host and Dona Gilda helped with anything we needed during the stay.

Took a big group of friends on a little holiday to Elsa's Quinta do Portal, and oh my god! The pictures don't do this place justice, it's even more beautiful in person! The house, the surroundings, all of it felt like a 5 star experience for everyone, and we weren't even half-way through our stay and were already discussing how soon we could go back! Elsa was incredibly accommodating to our early check in hours, and she even helped us book a table at a nearby restaurant with short notice because we weren't having any luck. Honestly cannot reccommend this place and Elsa's hospitality enough! Thank you, Elsa, for everything!

This Airbnb is amazing! It's like being at home. The apartment is spacious, bright, clean, tidy, and very cozy. It has everything you need, including tableware, water sets, and coffee cups. The host is so friendly, warm, generous, and easy to communicate with. The price is very reasonable. I strongly recommend it to people who plan to have a short visit to or to spend a long time vacation in Lisbon. IT IS FEELS LIKE HOME!

The house was beautiful. Dina was very helpful along with instructions for the house she included local restaurants and things to do. She was very responsive answered right way whenever I had a question. She went out of her way to try and help us with a parking ticket we ended up getting. I would definitely recommend the house.

Impeccable exterior for this kind of rental, sun, swimming pool, terrace, fireplace-barbecue, house "like at home" with everything you need to live there, well equipped with household electronics, quiet despite the "Portuguese" dogs who often bark at night but almost not in our case, quiet in the neighborhood, the market 100m from the house and supermarkets that are not very far either, my favorite beach (Princesa) 5 minutes by car.

Fabulous villa and Aksel and Sofia were so accommodation to us on check in and check out. Always responded so quickly, great communication. We went as a large family with grandparents and loved our stay. Kids also loved the pool

A great apartment with everything you need, a lovely terrace and a quick walk to the beaches and supermarket is just around the corner. We enjoyed that it was close to the old town but also good access to other beaches! A lovely stay and Ana Paula’s apartment was squeaky clean!!

Maria and Cesar are excellent hosts. The accommodation is in a lovely and private setting with everything you could need provided. They were both extremely helpful, especially when we had a minor problem with our hire car, but not at all intrusive. We loved our stay.

Was a very nice place to stay and ideal for two families

The place was very quiet, with a nice garden area. We didn’t even feel that the owner’s family was living upstairs, since we didn’t hear any noise at all. We had all the amenities needed, and slept very well in comfy beds. The fact that we were allowed to use the parking inside the house was very handy. The communication with Angelina was very easy and she responded promptly to our questions. I highly recommend this place if you are looking for a nice quiet neighborhood, with easy access to Lisbon and Cascais/Sintra areas.

Thanks to lurds and luis, we had a stay in your really fantastic home!! Superb well appointed house with all the comforts you need and much more! Exceptional views of the ocean and sunset every night. Very good times with the family in the unmissable place of the house: the pool, a real pleasure when you wake up, at noon for an aperitif, and in the evening when you return from the beach!! An unforgettable experience. Thank you so much!!

We thank Carla and her family for hosting us in her beautiful home. She was extremely responsive to each of our requests.
