French doors open out onto small patio with seating area overlooking lawn. There is also a large separate dining room. A fully-kitted kitchen/utility and breakfast room - all decorated to high standard in a fusion of traditional and modern taste are off to the side of the main hallway. The downstairs layout is completed by a private one double bedroom with en-suite bathroom (formally the maid's room) and a separate master bathroom. On the first floor we have 5 bedrooms, all of which open on to a large landing area. Two bedrooms with modern en-suite shower rooms (one double, one twin), open on to a 25 sq. m sun terrace with stunning views - to the Sintra hills in the east, south across the green river valley and west, to the sea and sandy beach, making the balcony an all day sun trap.

The second double room has a small balcony (6 sqm) overlooking the lawn and with a sea view to the setting sun in the west. The 2 other twins are on the east side and get the early morning sun. All twin rooms share a separate shower room with WC and the master bathroom downstairs. Enjoy wonderful views over to the sea and hills from the patio area and private kidney-shaped swimming pool approx. 7 x 5m (which is warmed by excess hot water from the solar-power system if available). Sun shades, loungers, chairs and tables are provided for relaxing by the pool. There is an outside changing room with wash basins, shower and toilet. Built-in barbeque allows guests to enjoy al fresco patio dining. There is also a poolside cold shower. At the front, pretty garden has a large lawn for relaxation and recreation, shaded in the afternoon by the house and trees.
