This is a delightful haven of rural peace. We loved the surrounding park and the Serra d’Arrabida itself is awesome with a fabulous coast (try the wonderful O’Faro restaurant at Portinlo). Our chalet was comfortable, the breakfast was brilliant and the charity does great work introducing city kids to the countryside so your money is well spent.

The shower handle was broken and the shower was small with nowhere to put soap etc to hand so showering was very awkward. Need to put hot water thermostat up in advance for shower - a reminder of this would be helpful. The area you approach through inland (along the N379) is very shabby urban sprawl - not a good setting for the Natural Park.

The keeper was super super friendly, even let me use the facilities barbecue and placed me and our friend couple on twin bungalows. The facilities themselves were very clean and tidy. Complementary fruit, cookies, water and a bottle of wine. One of the quietest and nicest places I've been in a while.

The facilities need more upkeep, some things are showing their age.

we got there a little by accident - since prices in Lisbon were crazy and we were traveling by car we decided to make this out Lisbon sightseeing base. We didn't expect much, but boy our expectations were exceeded! - the bungalow was great! comfy and specious, with everything needed. Much better than in phots - the staff were super nice! (i'm saying top league) - it was quiet, close to nature and this park is beautiful! - breakfasts were very good all in all: it was supposed to be our Lisbon visiting base, but after one night there we decided that Lisbon is enough and we just keep exploring the park and the beaches around. I can't believe that this is that cheap comparing to a crazy prices in Lisbon neighborhood. And can't believe that it was so empty with Lisbon almost fully booked.

The cabin was private and surrounded by trees. it was simple but comfortable and nicely presented. Breakfast was fresh and plentiful. The bed and linen were very good.

When we arrived the accommodation appeared to be deserted and overgrown. After ringing reception, the number on my booking confirmation, and finally the emergency number on the building exterior I managed to speak with a staff member who kindly returned to help us check in a little later.

The bungalow was very cute in the middle of the nature. Very nice and relaxing place. In the heart of Arrabida national park and beaches. Breakfast was nice and the girls working at the bar were super nice.

There was a terrible smell coming from the pipes of the shower and we slept the first night with windows open and door of the bathroom close. As soon as we opened the door of the bathroom, the smell was in the all bungalow. The second day we notified the problem and they got it fixed very quickly :-) The bar close at 5pm so there is no way to get food close by (achievable by foot) after that time. We had to drive to the closest town and a lot of restaurants were closed. We end up to eat in a fast food (terrible!) Since was the only option available. So, if you arrive late in the evening, make sure that you have food with you.

The place ha a good position in Arrabina nature park. A plenty of parking lots at the front of the main building with a short distance to the cabins. There are also a few cabins out of the cabin village in the nature. The cabins are quite lightweight, so sounds easily come through the wall. If you are sensitive to small sounds, try to get a single cabin in the forest. We stayed one night at the end of June in the cabin village and there was no disturbing noise. The breakfast is good, porridge, fresh juice, yogurt and good coffee in the idyllic breakfast room. Extra bonus for us was to learn what means YMCA. I remember those letters only from the old Village People song. The association help young people and do other good things as well. It was told that now they are building homes for people who have fled war. We were happy to rent the cabin from them.

The place is in nature, so there were also mosquitoes. They bothered us at night. I recommend taking mosquito repellent with you

Very good location if you want to enjoy the Arrábida beach’s with easy access. The bungalow exceeded our expectations, very clean and as all the appliances needed to enjoy your holidays

Breakfast time starts a bit later for us as we wanted to leave early to enjoy the beachs. Noise isolation is not the best between bungalows

Nice location in the woods, bungalows, good breakfast left in room for the 2 days

we were the only guests and no staff was on site, we were left a key. the bungalow was not what we had booked, but as nobody was around we could not have it changed to what we had booked. we had to call a number to get the gate open. This was not clear at beginning, so wer waiting in front of locked gate.

Very good location, close to the beach and nature. Was very clean, with everything we needed. Lovely breakfast, the natural orange juice was super. Staff very friendly and all questions answered before our arrival. We really enjoyed our stay.

The garden/area around the bungalow could have a bit more care.

Everything: great breakfast, clean and comfortable bungalows, awesome location.

The only thing that could displease some guests is that the bungalows are in the "Serra da Arrábida", i.e., nothing nearby. For us it was great, but if you want a place with shops and restaurants nearby, this is not it.
