Cottage

A short distance from kayaking, birdwatching, and more, this family-friendly cottage lets you experience it all. Jump into your car and make short work of the 17-minute drive to Castelo da Rainha Santa Isabel or the 17-minute drive to Royal Palace & Torre das Três Coroas (and enjoy the property's convenient onsite parking in the meantime).

After you return, you can unwind by the outdoor pool or sip a drink in the garden; you may also like the deck or patio and outdoor furniture. When you come inside, connect to the free WiFi or get cozy in front of the cable/satellite TV (video library available). There's also a DVD player for your enjoyment.

A living room, a dining area, a BBQ grill, and a fireplace are featured at this 6-bedroom, 6-bathroom rental. Bathroom amenities include a hair dryer, a bidet, and towels. Prepare a home-cooked meal in the kitchen, complete with an oven, a stovetop, and a refrigerator, as well as a coffee maker, an electric kettle, and a microwave. And there is a laundromat nearby so you can pack a bit lighter.
