Cottage holiday 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.

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!

Lovely, quiet area, not too far from Comporta. Big house with lots of room.

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.

We had a super magic time in Eleonore’s and «Miguel’s eco-house in the middle of cork chains and eucalyptus trees. We felt immediatly at home. It is a peacefull and charming place where you listen to the sound of the birds and the wind in the trees, look the stars, feel the nature around. Leonor and Miguel are incredible hosts: very friendly and helpfull, ready to give you the best places to go to eat and go to the beaches. And we have ending our stay with a marvelous diner all together. We strongly recommand their place for a restfull, lovely and magic holiday !

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

Lovely villa, perfect for our family. Car hire is important for getting around. Milfontes and Porto Covo are worth a visit!

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.

This is at the top of our all-time favorite Airbnb list. As they say, the photos don’t quite do it justice. Very clean and comfortable, with an indoor fireplace (we used on several rainy nights) and an outdoor stone bathtub that ought to be mandatory. Given the location, you can easily get to the village of Sintra, the coast, and all local sights—or spend the day reading, sunning, etc. The cottage is really above and beyond, and Dinesh is one of the most thoughtful hosts I’ve ever experienced. Parking can be a bit challenging with a stick shift, but no more than anywhere else in “the old country.”

I can only say well. The house is fantastic, decorated with extreme good taste. Super-equipped kitchen and strict cleaning. Paulo was always available for any questions. We were very happy here😊.

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 had a great time in this beautiful cottage. Everything was available, we were warmly welcomed (with a bottle of wine, cheese and bread) and everything was perfectly fine. More than enough towels and beach towels, everything sparkling clean and all amenities. And a beautiful view!

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!

We came to Pedro's place for my husband's birthday for 2 nights. The villa is a very pleasant place to stay with children. There are spaces everywhere in the villa so that everyone can feel good and be free to experience a moment out of time. We were having trouble with a reservation to see the dolphins, Pedro helped us and found an extraordinary place to take a catamaran tour and see the dolphins all around us. In short, I recommend this place, for the energy of the place and for the energy of the person who rents it. That's also what creates memories of a trip!

Ana was very fast to respond and super friendly! The space was really nice! Beautiful little house, exactly like the pictures. Has everything you need. Peaceful area with lovely outside spot! Nice restaurants and beautiful beaches nearby

We had a wonderful stay, the house is perfect for family vacation: very comfortable, funcional, pretty and well organized. The pool and outside area are very well kept and provided entertainment for the kids throughout the day. Fells like a loving home.

Beautiful apartment with all amenities needed. Nice courtyard and outside space to enjoy the sun. It was too cold for the pool but it looked amazing. A view down to Lisbon and a great hike just behind the house . We had very friendly neighbors too. Definitely recommend for someone who looks for privacy and quiet

Great space to relax. They exceeded expectations

Leonor and Paolo are excellent hosts who went out of their way to make our trip special! Stunning historical property put together with so much care! Leonor and Paolo gave us lots of local recommendations which were amazing and all worth going to. We would highly recommend this place - we felt we were so well taken care of. Fridge had a bottle of wine and pantry stocked up! The property has a beautiful private garden where it was great to unwind at the end of day. This is an excellent spot to explore the region for beautiful beaches and hike. We would love to come back again — definitely one of the best Airbnb experiences we’ve had!

a great place for a peaceful vacation. good for children and pets. Super friendly and helpful hosts
