Do you have a question about this home or the local area?

Design-wise, this home may not be the most charming in our collection, but we can't fault the location. Situated in Janas, you'll be just 9 kilometres from Sintra and a mere 2.5-kilometre drive from restaurants, supermarkets, and Praia das Maçãs beach. We expect you'll spend most of your days here out and about, but during downtime, the private swimming pool and covered terrace offer you the chance to relax in the sunshine. Inside, expect traditional interiors and dated elements. One bedroom has bunk beds ideal for older children, as well as a small single with a pull-out mattress that could sleep two extra guests on request.

Home truths

    While one bathroom isn't photographed, we expect the quality to be consistent with the rest of the home.

    Air conditioning is available in every room, except the one with the bunk beds.

    Some single beds may be pushed together to create doubles. The third bedroom has a single bed with a floor mattress underneath that could sleep two extra guests on request. While this room might not be the most comfortable for adults, the bunk bed isn’t likely to suit young children due to the lack of rails and ladders.

    The traditional decor may not be to everyone's taste. It feels a little dated in parts and lacks thoughtful design.

    Due to the location of this home, we suggest hiring a car. There's on-site parking for up to three cars.

About Sintra

Entering the Portuguese municipality of Sintra, one might believe they had stumbled upon a forgotten world. With striking Moorish buildings, lush forests and the ominously named ‘Initiation Well’, the town is steeped in mysticism. The caves, tunnels and steps that make up Sintra’s intricate central palace system are just 25km from the country’s capital, Lisbon. Its historic sights are some of the most renowned in Portugal, with the majestic golden...
