Villa do Cisne

Herdade da Aroeira - Villa

It’s an amazing house with loads of character and a 10 min drive / uber to incredible beaches and restaurants… but it’s definitely a bit tired. 9 of us stayed for a 40th and there’s plenty of space indoors and out. The garden, outdoor kitchen and pool are really nice and we loved the art, sculptures and plants. Some of the tired things: most of the beds are hard old spring beds, they’re uncomfortable and the bed frames squeak with every move. Many of the door handles don’t work. Musty/ damp smell in the stairs leading up to the bedrooms. Bathrooms are old with tiny showers. Dirty (and noisy) fish tank with 1 poor fish in it. Overall we had a great stay, but looking forward to a good night sleep in our own beds. 10/09/24

Great villa, well kept, peaceful and safe area and close to the beach. Really enjoyed our stay and would recommend.

Perfect spot for a getaway.

Stayed with 16 friends and we couldn't have been more delighted upon arrival. The living area and garden were much larger than we had anticipated from the photos and there was ample room for us sun-starved Brits to frolic.

The pool was a decent size and perfect for dipping into when things got a bit toasty.

Very peaceful neighberhood with plenty of top-tier homes around for us to debate the value of during our leisurely cab journeys in and out of the swanky golf resort.

One of our group actually took advantage of the surroundings and teed off. Despite delivering a sub-par performance by his own standards, he had nothing but glowing reviews about the course.

Getting around was straightforward, but it's cabs everywhere. An Aldi was on hand just outside the resort—maybe a 5-minute cab ride—and if you're willing to wait a minute or two longer, the beach is your reward.

The beds were hard but manageable, with six double rooms (two single beds in each), and all four upstairs ones having balconies (I think).

The other four beds are in the games room downstairs. That space wasn't the most comfortable and won't work for those wanting privacy, but was fine for a large group over a weekend.

Catering for ourselves was easy. An outdoor BBQ, oven, and ample kitchen allowed us to rustle up some great meals, which were duly devoured in the large outdoor dining area.

Plenty of beach bars and restaurants about ten/fifteen minutes away.

Loads and loads of fun.

The perfect Villa for our girls trip.
A Gorgeous, very large villa which slept eight of us very comfortably! The surrounding villas are equally as beautiful and we felt very safe here. The pool area and garden is stunning and so private. The villa had everything we needed and more and everybody thoroughly enjoyed our stay there.

Flott sted i et fasjonabelt nabolag. Vi hadde leiebil, og kom oss enkelt rundt. Veldig fin plassering i gangavstand til Aroeira Challenge golf course. Hull 17 rett foran huset.

Localisation et lieu de la villa très agréable. Volume inter et Exter très généreux. Activités à proximité (tennis, paddle , golf, plage) Aux vues du prix et des espaces fermés (pièces et placards) on s’attend à plus d’équipement mis à disposition.

Beautiful villa! Stayed there with a group of 15 friends, had a wonderful time. Loads of space and character, pool much bigger than appears in the photos. Peaceful pretty location, easy under 10 minute taxi to the beach with great bars and restaurants and 35 minute taxi from Lisbon so very easy to explore. Would 100% recommend.

Excellent service from Allure Villas, responses to questions were often answered directly and to the question of whether I could pass on a shopping list to the Villa manager was answered directly positively. Great service!! The villa manager/Tatiana had prepared the bad guys and as asked, the beer was already cold! Great! Great house, pool is smaller than expected but a great bath to cool down. The villa is a bit out of the direction of Lisbon center, but is just to do with cars/taxis (40 min drive). Also the beach you do not walk to ff, but with cars taxis fine to do. The house is somewhat dated, bathrooms can use a refresh. We were there with 14 men, I just fit the shower in, but turningwashing mm feet could not be because it was very small. Furthermore, really a top house, great to do and enough wonderful places to chill, in the sun,in the shade!

Amazing private home, was clean and had no issues.

The villa was amazing, so much unique character to it and Tatiana was really helpful as well.

The best weekend celebrating our 40th birthdays!

Villa très spacieuse et bien ombragée ;
Convient parfaitement pour grande famille ;

Mériterait un rafraîchissement pour la location haut de gamme ;(douches,literie,armoires…éclairage)
Equipement de cuisine un peu vétuste et limite pour grand nombre ;(verres, couverts,vaisselle)

Avons passé un excellent séjour familial dans la villa et apprécié le bel environnement.

Relaxing environment for holiday.
Had a holiday with friends at the Villa do Cisne for a week. Pool and yard were perfect for chilling and kitchen good for cooking together. Villa manager was very helpful and easy to chat with. Also the beach close to the villa was beautiful!

“If you are looking for a funky 70s style mansion get away with friends than this is for you! “
If you are looking for a funky 70s style mansion get away with friends than this is for you! Tucked away and very private yet super close to beaches and beach bars/restaurants. Portugal blew our minds and having a home away from home was the cherry on the pie. Particularly during these covid times when you have to wear masks in hotels – no need to do that in a private villa.

“Fantástica Villa para uns dias em família”
Foram aqui passados em Julho de 2020 uns dias fantásticos em família. Um jardim com um relvado lindo, uma piscina com exposição solar todo o dia, bem como um alpendre enorme. Ou seja, toda a casa não podia ter proporcionado melhor convívio. Quero ainda agradecer à D. Fernanda que esteve sempre disponível para qualquer necessidade.

“Great architecture, great garden and large living room”
The house was very well located and extremely beautiful. Great architecture, great garden and large living room. Would definitely recommend it.

“Lovely villa suitable for a large party”
Great location and beautiful grounds. The villa could do with some updating throughout as things do look tired however this did not impact our stay. Would definitely return.

“trés beau séjour”
Nous avons passé un très agréable séjour dans cette très belle villa très spacieuse , bien équipé avec un terrain et une piscines au top !!! les enfants ont adoré s’amuser dans le jardin . Le cadre était parfait.Miguel le propriétaire est au top a notre disposition a tout moment . je vous remercie pour ce super séjour merci a tout l’équipe de l’agence et surtout a Kamilla qui on été au toppp et très disponible . je RECOMMANDE 🙂

“We enjoyed our stay in the villa”
Our group enjoyed our stay in the villa Do Cisne. It was very clean when we arrived. Unfortunately the hot water didn’t work in all areas of the house (some bathrooms and in the kitchen). And the kitchen wasn’t very well equipped with knifes. As mentioned by another guest once the gardener showed up in the morning. The beautiful sea was reachable in 10 minutes by car. Fernanda took good care of us.

“Large house in a good location”
The property was large and in a good location, close to the beach and only 20 mins from Lisbon city centre. The villa was a little tired, some of the doors didn’t lock and the kitchen could have been better equipped. The agent was able to fix the lock on the front door and supply things like tea towels and a corkscrew when requested. Overall an enjoyable stay in a large and well-located villa. |

“Maison de caractère”
Très beau jardin Architecture intéressante Les robinetteries des chambres mériteraient une révision Vaisselle juste pour la taille de la villa Mais dans l’ensemble très bon séjour Pour les golfeurs emplacement idéal.

“Top”
La villa est au top. On manque de rien. Proche de la plage (5min en voiture). Résidence calme. Lisbonne centre à 30min. Thanks for all A recommandé.

“Awesome place”
Awesome place, loved our stay. Will definitely recommend it!

“Spacious villa with good outdoor eating area”
We were a family group of 16 and the Villa had plenty of space for all the us. The outside area was a great place to eat and entertain. Allure Villas was a pleasure to work with, and Miguel was very accommodating to us. We would all like to thank Alberto the chef and his friend, for his delicious food and making our party night such a memorable one.

“Lovely big villa private and relaxing only 5 minutes to the beach in Uber 30 minutes to Lisbon”
Great villa needs a bit of attention, light bulbs missing / needing changing in several rooms some mattresses not very comfortable but overall a great villa.

“First Class Service”
Myself and 11 other golfers booked to play at the courses surrounding this villa, the communication upon booking was second to none. Any questions or requests we had were responded to same day and put our minds at ease. The accommodation is beautiful and very spacious. This is certainly value for money and we will definitely be returning. If I had any critiques at all it would only be the bedrooms are not air conditioned and it does get very stuffy during the hot season. That being said it did not affect our stay and we absolutely loved it. First class service. Thank you for your hospitality.

“Tolles sauberes Haus perfekt für Grösse Gruppen”
Ich war mit 15 Freunden in diesem Haus u kann nur sagen das alles sauber u der Garten auch sehr gepflegt war. Das einzige was ich bemängeln muss ist das vor Ort die kochutensilien etwas erneuert werden müssten,sprich ein paar neue Pfannen wären nicht schlecht. Ein paar mehr geschirrhandtücher wären auch gut. Aber das sind wirklich nur Kleinigkeiten u ich kann wirklich ohne zu zögern sagen das ich nochmal in dieses Haus fahren würde….

“Très belle maison dans un environnement agréable”
Tres belle maison directement sur le golf. Bien située avec un accès raisonnablement rapide aux grands axes. La maison peut loger facilement 10/12 personnes. Le terrain et la picines sont agréables. La maison manque un peu d’entrerien mais rien pour enlever au confort pour quelques jours. Le service de Miguel a été très bien et il a répondu rapidement aux questions et reglé les petits problèmes courants.

“Relaxing, beautiful and just a wonderful time”
Lovely big garden which we relaxed in most of the time. We spend most of our time there. We was a party of 11 there was so much space to have privacy if you wanted or just stay by the pool. Only little moans , 3 of the shower were a bit small, but we just got on with it and could do with extra pillows. But that was it . Fantastic over all.

“Great place to stay near Lisbon”
We were family members who stayed here for one week in the end of June. The booking process and guidance was exemplary with no difficulties what so ever. When arriving the villa we were met by the villa manager Miguel, who was extremely kind and helpful. During the stay he was available to answer questions and solve any issues on a very short notice. The house is perfect for both families, couples and friends. There is a lot of space, all amenities. It is beautiful and has open spaces and large private rooms. Though it is not as new as many of the other private homes being built in the golf community, it is very well taken care of. We would definetly return. As others mention, there is no A/C, but we kept the windows/doors open and used a simple fan in the bedroom, and it was fine. The villa is in a very upscale and calm neighbourhood. 3 minutes drive to the nearest Aldi, 15-20 minutes to a large shopping center. 20-25 minutes to central Lisbon.

“Très beau séjour à Aroeira”
Belle maison, très agréable et spacieuse et le jardin est super bien aménagé, trop joli. Rien à redire. Et merci à Fernanda qui nous a accueilli très chaleureusement.

“Lovely relaxing holiday!”
We stayed at villa do Cisne for a week at the end of August and really enjoyed it. We were a group of 7 and we were all really impressed and pleased with the villa. The garden was lovely and the hammock and BBQ area were perfect! Fernanda was very welcoming when we arrived. A car would definitely be recommended but we still managed without one, getting a bus to the beach and a taxi into Lisbon. Overall, a beautiful villa that we all really enjoyed and would definitely recommended staying here again!

“Fantastic family holiday”
We stayed at villa do cisne for a week at the end of June for a family holiday for 10 adults and 3 children and we were really pleased with our choice- Portugal didn’t disappoint. The villa was beautiful especially the garden and there was ample space for all of us, we even had a couple of rooms to spare. The BBQ area and swimming pool were fab and perfect for the family, the artwork is stunning and the whole building is modern but with a lot of character and unique features. The villa is well equipped and fernanda who greeted us was very friendly and helpful and she recommended places to shop so we could stock up for food and drink for the week. The only thing we would say is that whilst the villa is in a golf resort it’s about 15 minutes walk to the nearest food shop which is quite pricey so we would recommend shopping at the Aldi which is only a few minutes away from the shop. It’s also not as close to the beach as we thought, it certainly wasn’t 2km away and caprica beach is about a 20 minute drive, fonta da telha is about 10 minute drive but we were advised that it was a more natural beach rather than touristy and if we wanted restaurants and beach bars then caprica is the one to go to. A car is essential if you want to stay here, we thought the beach and restaurants were within walking distance but they weren’t and you will need one to do a big shop, taxis were quite pricey costing us 40 euros for a return trip to the beach. Nevertheless we had a wonderful holiday and if you want a chilled out relaxing break in a peaceful and lovely area then villa do cisne is perfect but if you want to be in the thick of it and be close to bars restaurants and shops then this may be a bit far out unless you like a bit of driving on holiday. Overall we would definitely recommend and would love to return to Portugal, the weather was superb and the people were so friendly and the food and wine was top notch! Also we would recommend visiting the swimming pool on the golf resort if you have kids and getting a ferry into old Lisbon, it’s a great day out
