Cottage vacation rentals in Melides

An exceptional secluded paradise. We stayed there for a week to visit the Algarve and were there as a couple and with our dogseta who was delighted. Silvia provided us with instructions to get to the house properly (not following the gps). The place is very quiet, secluded and is reached by a flattened dirt trail between vineyards. The house is wooden and very big and spacious. It has a large enclosed deck ideal for being read there or playing board games. The house is well finished and secluded and has screens on all windows. The kitchen is very well equipped with all the utensils and some basic ingredients. The garden is wide with a very clean pool, of which Silvia takes care of daily without disturbing. Silvia has made it easy for us any needs and we are very happy about it; we repeat the stay without a doubt.

My family and I had an amazing time. The host, Raquel, was amazing and very responsive. The amenities of the house, the cleaningless were perfect. Our kids loved playing with the toys provided in the house or in the pool. We also managed to go to the beach (3 minutes by bike) to watch the sunset. We will definitely come back in Troia and we recommend anyone to stay there. All the best, Sébastien

It's been a wonderful vacation - the place is perfect for rest, and the photos don't do it justice. The property consists of four houses, one common (with pool, treadmill, etc.) and several lounging areas around the pool, clean and good size, as well as a pond full of fish. In the area there are several villages with supermarkets and good restaurants; Évora is 40 minutes away. It is a perfect place to get to know the Alentejo and spend the day for example in Lisbon or Évora. The owners, Mathieu and Martha, are absolutely lovely, attentive, polite and respectful. They have been attentive to our needs without being invasive. We are sure that we will repeat it, and we highly recommend it to everyone.

The greeting from Carlos' mother on arrival was the absolute best. She was kind and made us feel right at home. The space is so well kept, lovely amenities and amazing light both natural and ambiance lighting throughout the house. We enjoyed walks and runs around the neighborhood - did a day in Arrábida natural park and it was absolutely wonderful and just a short drive. The hottub was an amazing bonus. I can't wait to come back when it's warm and we can have all the doors open to the well- maintained and manicured lawn. Loved it, highly recommend.

Excellent stay at Ana Maria's, everything is done to make your stay go in the best possible way , the setting is beautiful and relaxing and the habitat is very functional . We stayed 2 weeks with the family and it was certainly the most pleasant holidays we spent between the calm and the space that dedicated you without talking about the pool so refreshing. A superb discovery , close to all amenities (less than 5 minutes from the village and about twenty minutes from the beach) and at the same time so far away a real paradox that makes all the charm of this property .

Very spacious house with pleasant terraces and a lovely swimming pool. Carlos and his wife welcomed us with open arms! They were very friendly and very flexible with check-in and check-out. Absolutely recommended!

Great stay loved the spa day at the end of our trip and breakfast was such a nice treat

Maura is an excellent host and ambassador for the region. Nothing was too much trouble, even delivered breakfast to our room that evening, as we had to leave before breakfast was commenced in the dining room. The accommodation was exceptional and spacious..quiet and peaceful. Would be a nice getaway if we had longer!

Hosts were incredibly gracious and helpful. Made our stay feel very welcoming. Absolutely spectacular location within a nice hike to Guincho beach. Small market around the corner for essentials. Couldn’t be happier with our stay. If we go back to Cascais, will absolutely look to stay here again.

It was great to have the possibility of spending a few days in the mountain of the buganvilias! Isabel and Madalena are very welcoming people who have created a space that reveals that! I hope to have the possibility of coming back again!

We've been very comfortable at Rob's place. Very comfortable house where you could find everything you need for your stay and find the tranquility that many of us need when leaving the big cities. In a few kilometers by car huge beaches where you can enjoy a day at a quiet beach and be with the dogs. Well located to enjoy Lisbon, Sintra, Sensimbra Setubal etc enjoy its gastronomy. A pleasure to have been 15 days at Rob's place.

We were delighted with the house! The space is fantastic and it has everything we need to spend a few big days. André is extremely attentive and friendly. Always available for whatever it takes. Let's go back for sure!

We've been to stay before and we'll be coming back to stay again—a unique and wonderful place in a beautiful spot! Thank you!

This home is a beautiful farm house in the area - you feel right at home when you arrive and it makes you want to move in. The property is so peaceful, calming and great for kids and outdoor meals. The location is wonderful and right in the middle of all of the beaches in the area. The hosts are incredibly helpful and communicative (the best communication I've encountered with an airbnb) - always there to respond to you if you have questions and help with anything that comes up. The house is also incredibly well equipped for multiple guests and a longer stay - the photos don't reveal just how many dishes, pots and pans, and other supplies the home has. As well, the windows have screens which is a HUGE plus that many airbnbs in the area do not have. If you are there in cooler or wetter weather, the house does get a little bit damp if you are sensitive to that but that is pretty common for most places in the area and the hosts have put things in place to help with it.

We had a great stay, thank you so much for hosting us. We hope to visit again soon!

A friendly reception and a quirky house with lots of character. A great place to relax away from the hustle and bustle of Sintra, but perfect if you have a car and like to self cater.

We decided on the eve to book Marías place and their reaction was promptly a very flexible. The house was just as they described, calm and private, with outdoor garden and spaces. Our 2-year old was very exited about the swing outside and we really enjoyed the indoor fireplace. House was fully equipped and the hostal were very flexible and accommodating to our requests. We certainly recommend the place!

The house feels relaxing and offers a beautiful view. We had a great time and would have loved to stay longer. The host is helpful and kind.

We enjoyed a really peaceful few days staying at Vida pura with a group of friends. It’s quite remote but the clear instructions made it easy to find. Our little son enjoyed feeding the donkeys and goose, and we enjoyed a swim in the bio pool. Highly recommended for a relaxing stay.

We had a great stay and would recommend. The house had everything we needed including heating as it was pretty chilly in December! The kitchen was fully equipped, the bed was really comfortable and everything was really clean. We really loved staying within the farm and witnessed a goat give birth to two kids which was wonderful. The house is one of a few houses within the farm grounds but our pool was private and we weren’t really aware of any other guests. Quick drive to supermarkets and the beaches of Comporta and Melides were about half an hour away.

Beautiful typical Portuguese house with beautiful bedding. Surrounded by a beautiful garden. Very quiet place. An unpaved road to get there but near the small town where you will find everything you need: restaurants, pharmacy, supermarkets. Charming accommodation.

Maria Irene, we received very well, she is a very pleasant and lively person. Thank you very much for your lovely attention. Your cake is divine, the kids and we parents have eaten everything to the last crumb. The wine was also very good. Thanks again

We spent a few days with the family at Maria's place, and we were delighted. Maria has given us all the facilities. Although it has been a very hot few days, the house is very cool, with a beautiful porch. We also loved the decor of the house, made with pleasure without losing the essence or the comforts of the house. A very good experience that we hope to be repeated.

We liked everything about the stay in casa Mimosa. It sure isn’t a place to party, it is a location to enjoy peace and quiet. Casa mimosa house is divided to two halves, but it isn’t a problem at all - there is enough privacy and terraces are located separately. The house is well equipped and clean. Lovely garden that you can explore freely. Sometimes there is a baker who brings fresh bread to the reception area. Prem welcomed us kindly and took us and our luggage to the house, recommended local hiking trails, restaurants etc. It was wonderful to relax in total peacefulness, the sleep quality was epic.
