Sintra | Cozy house at the bottom of Sintra Mountains with Palace views

Casa da Rocha is a country house, with a spacious yard, located in a small township a 15min drive away from the beach, and 8min from Sintra's historical center. From the center(wich can be reached by foot in 1,6km) there are buses to Castelo dos Mouros and Palácio da Pena. Lisbon is 20km away.
The house's backyard has a privileged view of the Sintra Mountains.
It's equipped with complete kitchenware, microwave, toaster and coffee maker express Dolce Gusto.
A few meters away you can find a small market and a Café.

Casa da Rocha is an old farmhouse that has been refurbished and divided into two ground floor apartments. This is the Aptº Red Fruits. This house is also convenient for those who want to visit Lisbon, which is 30 min. by car or 35 min. by train and then come to sleep in a quiet, cooler place with the air of the mountains.

You can still take a half-day trip to Cascais and Estoril.
Other interesting places that you can visit in a 1-day visit: Peniche, Nazaré, Alcobaça, Óbidos, Batalha, Fátima, Tomar, Setúbal, Palmela, and many others within a radius of 100km.

This is a place with history because it was in this space, in 1836, that was born casually the now so famous Pêra Rocha that owes its name to the then owner, Mr. António Rocha. From here it has spread all over the region of Sintra and then to the West region

All the house: 3 rooms, 2 wc's, kitchen and living room. Also the backyard.

At 100 and 300 mts away you can take a bus to Sintra or the beaches.

At 1km away you can find a pharmacy, a bakery, a market, a butcher shop, an automatic laundry as well as some local commerce including 5 excellent and not turistic restaurants.

House without stairs and acessible by straight way.

Cozy family-friendly property in a pretty part of Sintra
We had a great 5-week stay at Casa da Rocha. The 3BR setup worked well with 2 pre-teen kids and a dog. I particularly enjoyed this part of Sintra which is authentically Portuguese and a bit off the beaten path. We spent a lot of time chatting with locals at the small store/cafe down the road and ate at several great spots that Cristina recommended, all a short drive away. While not too far by car from the train station and more touristy parts of Sintra, the home isn't close enough to those places to walk except if you're planning a multi-hour hike. Cristina was a great host and very responsive when we needed help with appliances, etc.

One day stop in Sintra
We booked a one night stop in Sintra for our family of 5 and the property is exactly as described. Comfortable bedrooms, kitchen and living spaces. The host was extremely helpful and communicative prior to our arrival. We spent the day touring the city and were extremely grateful for accommodating our check out time. Cristina even contacted us when we left items behind and held on to them for us. Will definitely book here again. Thank you
