Wow! Where do I begin? When my partner and I were looking for a coastal villa within an hour’s drive of Lisbon, we kept returning to Casas da Arriba and we most definitely made the perfect choice! The host, Carlos, was second to none with his communication prior to arriving, and he was most respectful, attentive, thoughtful and obliging. We liked him before we even met him. Carlos greeted us both very warmly on arrival and he was kind enough to let us into the villa a few hours before the official check-in time. His villa is beautiful and it was spotless. It was extremely well equipped so there really was no need to take anything with you other than clothes…and my hair straighteners! Evidently, much care and thought had been put into the comfort and pleasure of the guests. Its location at the top of the hill was perfect for us and the sunsets were stunning. We plan to return next year (something we never do as the world is too small) and if Carlos is selling, he has already sold it!! Thank you, Carlos, for helping to make our short break truly outstanding and memorable for all the best reasons. We can’t recommend your property highly enough and we will definitely see you again in 2027! S&S
