A week away
Met by a fluent English speaker who knew the area was a great beginning to a one week stay at the cottage. Everything was better than expected. It was quiet and clean and in a prefect location. What a week we had.

Very small, clean and tidy
We feel this property was as described on the web site but the reviews made it appear more attractive than we found it. A hanging rail in the bedroom doesn't constitute a wardrobe. The shower was tiny which we found difficult to manage as we kept getting caught up in the curtain and, therefore, flooded the bathroom. Having said that, the kitchen was well equipped and the property was basic but adequate. We loved the area and the property is only 5 minutes walk from a beautiful beach and lovely restaurants. Overall, we enjoyed our stay.

Great accommodation
We could not have picked a better base for exploring the Lisbon area. Accommodation is clean, well provided and close to a great beach and local shops and the archaic but must ride “electrico”. Ralph’s knowledge of the area has been so very handy, from the directions to get here to local restaurants and places to visit. Lisbon itself is easy to get around with excellent and cheap public transport. Park at Sintra Portelo station and 1/2 hour later you’re in the heart of a vibrant city. Our first time in Portugal so we feel v lucky to have chosen a great place to start to get to know it.

Exceptionally clean, comfortable and quiet.
If you are looking for a quiet, relaxing get away in comfort with thoughtful owners who go the extra mile, then this property is for you. Set within a lovely community the little mini mercardo just round the corner means you can enjoy the property eating local fresh produce in the garden, or venture out on a tram to stunning Sintra. We had problems with our transfer and I lost my phone and Ralph went out of his way to visit to make sure I was ok and tried to track the phone himself and arranged alternate transport for our departure. I have never known an owner that cared so much and he made sure our stay was a happy one. You could hear a pin drop at night so we got lots of quality sleep and recharged our batteries. The coastal walks are amazing and the local people very friendly. I wish I could have given this stay 10 stars!

Awesome beach holidays!
Praia das Maçãs was the best holidays we've had in Portugal and a lot to that is the fact that Casa Olga gave us privacy, comfort, and we didn't have to use the car at all! Walking distance to everything. The host was super friendly and kindly left us a basket of fruits, a white wine (delicious vinho verde) and some cookies! What a great start, we thought :) We were a couple plus a toddler which was perfect with the little front yard! Will be back for sure!

Perfect for two
This lovely cottage has everything two people need for a great holiday. Thick walls, shutters and stone floors mean that it stays cool. The kitchen is well equpped, although there are loads of places to eat within a short stroll, so we only used it for breakfast. There's a little supermarket close by with all you could need. The beach is also very close and the sea is very refreshing! We spent 12 nights here and combined walking, sightseeing in Sintra and Lisbon with lazing around either on the beach or in the lovely private garden. Ralph, our host, is a fount of knowledge about the locality and is extremely friendly and helpful. All in all, such a good holiday that we've already booked for next year!

Heerlijk plekje!
We hebben een heerlijke week gehad in dit kleine maar knusse huisje. We werden heel vriendelijk ontvangen door Ralph, de eigenaar. Hij nam alle tijd voor ons bij aankomst en staat altijd voor je klaar. We zaten vlakbij de zee en daar waren we dan ook elke dag te vinden, want we hadden schitterend weer. Ook is er een winkeltje in de buurt waar je 's ochtends lekker om verse broodjes kan. De omgeving is lekker rustig en als je wat meer drukte zoekt, kan je van hieruit makkeliik naar bv Sintra rijden. We hebben hier genoten! Jan en Dian

Ruhiges Häuschen in zentraler Lage
+ ruhig gelegen, trotzdem fußläufig zum Strand, sehr sauber, alles da, sogar Sonnenschirm für den Strand, der Vermieter war sehr nett und hatte tolle Parkplatztipps auf Lager, - ab Mitte August kann das Wetter sehr kühl und nebelig sein, teilweise Nieselregen, Auto unbedingt erforderlich, um in den wärmeren Süden fahren zu können

Einfach wunderbar!
Rundum gut versorgt in einem gemütlichen kleinen Häuschen, sehr sauber und mit allem ausgestattet, was man braucht. Vielen Dank an die Besitzer, es waren sehr nette Begegnungen, lustig, freundlich, kulant. Und am liebsten würden wir jetzt jedes Jahr kommen... Ganz abgesehen davon, dass die Umgebung, die Menschen, das Essen und nicht zuletzt das Meer einen wunderbaren Urlaub ausmachen. Danke! Bloss ist das Wetter im September nicht zuverlässig gut!

Kleine, gezellige cottage dicht bij het strand
Heerlijke 2 weken in Casa da Olga gehad. De cottage is schoon, klein maar compleet met een leuke patio. Voor 2 personen prima! Dicht bij meerdere stranden en een mooie plek om vanuit hier Sintra en Lissabon te bezoeken. Van eigenaar Ralph kregen we een 'warm welcome' en vele nuttige tips. Praia das Macas heeft een aantal goede restaurants (ook op loopafstand), waaronder Buzio, Piscina in Azenhas en Nortada. Veel verse vis! Kortom, aan te bevelen en voor herhaling vatbaar!

Traumhäuschen fußläufig zum Strand
Wir hatten wunderbare zwei Wochen in Casa da Olga! Das Häuschen ist perfekt für Zwei. Es ist nicht zu groß und auch nicht zu klein, es war wunderbar sauber, gut in Schuss gehalten und wir haben uns ab der ersten Minute sehr wohl gefühlt! Küche: Die Küche ist gut ausgestattet, Geschirr und Besteck ist für vier Personen vorhanden. Man kocht mit Gas, eine Spülmaschine gibt es nicht (aber dafür viele tolle Restaurants in der Nähe ;-) ). Wohnzimmer: Ist offen zur Küche hin, die Couch ist bequem (ausklappbar) und der Tv mit google-Chrome hat gut funktioniert. Bad: Ist klein aber wirklich sehr sauber, top gepflegt und hat ein Fenster. Fön war auch da. Schlafzimmer: 140x200 Bett, eine gemeinsame Decke. Beistelltische und eine Kommode. Sauberkeit: Die Handtücher und die Bettwäsche waren - wie das ganze Haus - sehr sauber. Nach der Hälfte unseres Aufenthalts wurden Handtücher&Bettwäsche gewechselt und das ganze Häuschen sauber gemacht. Top! Draußen: Schöne Terasse mit Gartenmöbeln und Grill. Sehr angenehm hier zu sitzen! Das Häuschen hat in allen Fenstern Schlagläden, die man gut und sicher verschließen kann. So kann man tagsüber die Schlagläden zumachen und kommt abends in ein kühles und frisches Häuschen zurück. Wlan funktionierte immer gut. Vom Haus aus sind es circa 5 Minuten zum Strand, sehr angenehm zu fuß zu gehen. Am Strand und gleichzeitig Zentrum des Dörfchens sind viele sehr leckere Restaurants und der Metzger hat super Fleisch! Die Surfschule Surf at ist auch zu empfehlen. Am besten war allerdings Ralph! Er war ein toller Gastgeber! Er ist witzig und gutherzig und kümmert sich super um seine Gäste. Er hat diverse Tipps auf Lager und kann einem Restaurantempfehlungen, Ausflugstipps und sonstige Ratschläge geben. Wir planen schon jetzt unseren nächsten Tripp nach Portugal und werden sicher wieder bei Ralph und in der Casa da Olga wohnen! Vielen Dank, Ralph!
