Lisbon, Lisbon, Portugal

REFNO:519780. This elegant villa is a short drive from central Lisbon and boasts its own library and private pool, which can be heated at an additional fee. There's plenty of garden space and a shaded barbecue area for dining alfresco, and with one cot and high chair provided for free, we think it's a great choice for families. We do recommend a car here, since the nearest beaches, restaurants, and the stunning town of Sintra are all an easy drive away. Home truths: *Not all bathrooms are photographed here, but we expect consistent style and quality throughout this home. *There is space to park for free outside this home. Due to its location, we recommend hiring a car to make the most of your stay. *In the twin bedroom there is a second window with no curtains facing the hallway, so you won't have full privacy in this room. It's also worth noting that a lot of the windows here are on the smaller side, so there may not be a lot of natural light during the day. *There are bedrooms and bathrooms on the ground floor of this home, but there are seven steps up to reach the front door. *The pool here is unfenced, so children will need to be supervised when playing outside.
