Vacation rentals in Praia do Portinho da Arrábida

We enjoyed our stay at Eduardo's place very much. The house was just as described in the AirBnb ad. The house is spacious for 10 persons, a well equipped kitchen. One can see that it is also used by the family wich we found very nice and personal, cosy. As it was so early in the season, the house was a bit humid after the winter, but there were radiators to take care of that. Not too far from the village Azetao but the surroundings were fantastic! The national park is so beautiful. The house was also very private and clean.

We had an amazing time in this spectacular apartment. The photos don't do it justice. We were greeted by the hosts, who were very helpful and attentive throughout the stay. We had a great time snorkeling/ scuba diving in the sea, with lots of interesting marine life to see. The food and restaurants were lovely, with various options to choose from. All the people we met were incredibly friendly. It was easy to travel to from Lisbon via taxi, but may pose a slight challenge to access if you have mobility difficulties, as it is up a hill and accessible via road or several flights of stairs from the beach. Overall, I would definitely recommend visiting this amazing apartment and Sesimbra! We hope to return!

Wir haben 14 Nächte in der Unterkunft verbracht. Die Küche ist mit allem ausgestattet, was man zum Kochen oder Backen braucht. Dass es sogar eine Küchenwaage gab, hat mich sehr beeindruckt. Es ist sehr ruhig hier, man ist umgeben von Natur. Die Außendusche ist toll, wir haben sie jedoch nicht genutzt, um eine Mückenplage im Zimmer zu vermeiden. Das Dorf Aldeia do Meco hat tolle Restaurants sowohl für mittags als auch abends. Aber auch Cafés für ein Frühstück sind mit dem Auto in unter 5 Minuten zu erreichen. Auch zu den Stränden von Meco ist es nicht weit, ein Auto ist jedoch erforderlich, um die Gegend hier zu erkunden. Alternativ lässt es sich auch hervorragend am Pool entspannen. Der eigene Garten bietet ausreichend Privatsphäre. Wir haben die Zeit hier sehr genossen und kommen gerne wieder.

It was our best experience with Airbnb by far. Everything was just perfect: amazing views, well equipped kitchen, clean bathroom, powerful shower, comfortable bed. Falling asleep to the sound and smell of the sea felt like the best feeling in the world! The host was super responsive, helpful and provided great recommendations of things to do in the area. Thank you!!!

A truly peaceful and special place. The home is beautifully maintained, tranquil, and in a perfect location—close to the city but quiet enough to fully relax. I’ve never shaken off jet lag so quickly. The hosts were kind, communicative, and made everything easy. The friendly cats roaming the property added a warm, homey touch. Part of me wants to keep this gem a secret, but it deserves to be shared. Highly recommended

We have stayed with many Star Hosts on Airbnb, but I can easily say that Iza’s place and preparation were in a class of their own. We would repeat this booking without question — and will probably be looking for excuses to come back to Lisbon just to stay with her.

Fabulous villa. Extremely comfortable and well equipped. Beautiful garden and pool. Easy access to central Lisbon via ferry. Close to long sandy beach.

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.
