Having grown up an international environment, with a German mother from Hamburg/Germany and a Portuguese father from Lisbon, and having worked for an airline and in tourism, I always liked very much to receive people at my home, to travel, to read, the beach, nature, and so many things more.

Please feel very welcome at my places and do not hesitate to contact me if you need further information about the listed rooms and apartments or about Portugal.

I will be happy to answer right away.

Die Kontakte per EMail und per Telfeon mit Maria waren immer sehr nett , persönlich und hilfreich. Die Anlage Pedras Del Rei ist wunderschön und sehr gepflegt. Im Appartement haben wir uns sehr wohlgefühlt. Leider war das Wetter nicht so toll - aber dafür kann ja keiner etwas.

Maria is a very sweet, busy woman, willing to take time when she can to help her guests with their needs. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay in her beautiful home. The upstairs attic space is ideal with a fabulous view of the ocean. The train station is an easy 10 minute walk away and the train to Lisbon is an easy 1/2 hour ride. Such a lovely space for a great price. I definitely recommend it!

Agréable appartement en duplex qui permet d'avoir son intimité;très agréable terrasse avec vue sur la mer, table pour le repas et hamacs pour la sieste! Maria était toujours aux petits soins pour savoir si nous étions bien , si nous manquions de quelque chose; elle avait même disposé des fruits , de l'eau et des fleurs à notre étage! Nous nous sommes beaucoup promenés alentour: plage du Guincho pour les surfeurs,Cabo da Roca (point le plus à l'ouest du continent européen) , Sintra avec... More »

Jean & Jhoneen enjoyed Maria's warm hospitality and wonderful abode with view of the ocean. She went out of her way to be helpful - far beyond a mere rental. Highly recommended. We will be back!

Great choice even in wintertime! Lisbon is easily reached by train, and here you have a cosy place close to the sea. Maria really cared for how I felt at her place, and improved the shower while I was there. There´s a good privacy and at the same time she creates a warm atmosphere like at home. An easy, cosy stay, I would go back!

I had a great stay at Maria's place. The apartment is charming and with a lovely view over the Atlantic (and a lovely terrace), and Maria really made me feel at home. I arrived with a mean flu, luckily Maria had loads of tea, honey and herbal anti-cough-syrups .. just to say that she is a most helpful host in every way. Also, she has a great knowledge of the area, what to visit etc.

If you are looking for a place to stay, this is the place! No car is necessary to get to Lisbon or Cascais, as the train station is only 5 minutes away and easy to get to and use. The beach is also very close with a lovely beach walkway from Maria's house to Cascais. I could not have had a better time, and Maria helped me to truly fall in love with Southern Portugal. She showed me the hidden gems and always helped me to make sure that I was alright. I got a great night's sleep every night and... More »

I was there more or less 4-5 days and it was a wonderful choice over Lisbon. It was easy to get to and from center of Lisbon(cais do sodre) station and from cascais station (last stop). I walked almost everywhere and if you enjoy scenery by foot then Maria's place is great! Her home is a 5 min walk from the train and when I arrived I felt like it was a vacation home away from home! I must come back in the summer! It was great to have someone to talk to or guide me through the area as well... More »

Yet another incredible stay with Maria. That house is paradise on earth... to wake up every morning warm in the sun, and go out on the patio to swing in the hammocks, watching the boats pass by on the Atlantic... even in December and January it was balmy and beautiful. And of course, Maria is such an incredible host- even when she's busy or has other things going on she makes sure to contact you and make sure that you're taken care of, and that the house is to your liking... Just wonderful.

Maria met me at the station even though she had flu, I thought that was really sweet. Felt very at home in the apartment. it looks small from outside but is actually really large inside. my room was large with a comfortable bed and a great bathroom with plenty of fluffy towels. nce you get your bearings there is a wonderful walk along the coast from Estoril to Cascais, it's such a magnificent area and the walk is incredible. Maria is very sweet and I wish I'd had more time to chat and enjoy... More »

We stayed for 7 weeks at Maria's house in Estoril near Lissabon and had a great time. The flat is very nice. Especally the terrace wih 10+ hours of sun where you can see the ocean. Maria was always very helpful and provided every information we ask for (also for really uncommon questions like internetspeed and the like :)) We really enjoyed our stay and definitely recommend this place to others!

I met Maria through my sister, who stayed at her flat via AirBnB this fall and gave it rave reviews. On my first visit to Lisbon my sister took me to meet Alex and stay in Estoril, and I quickly fell in love with Maria and her place as well!! Maria has a beautiful apartment, with the guest area upstairs. This creates a very private feel while staying, but Alex is a very friendly and social host and goes above and beyond to make your stay fabulous! This would be a perfect fit for travelers... More »

I met Maria through my friend Emma, who has stayed with Maria several times. We are studying here together in Lisbon, and Emma raved so much about the apartment, the location in Estoril, and most importantly, Maria herself, that when she returned for a weekend, I went with her and fell in love with all of it myself, and I'll definitely be going back. As you can see from the pictures, the apartment is stunning, and even more so in person. It's comfortable, open, full of light, clean, peaceful,... More »

Soy de Chile y quede maravillada de este encantador lugar, porque María tiene un lindo apartamento, esta bien amoblado y lo mejor de todo que queda cerca de todo, playas, supermercados, estación de tren para ir a Lisboa, correos, etc. Maria es una excelente anfitriona, ella es simpatica y de agradable trato, ademas que habla varios idiomas, lo que hace una mejor comunicación, sabe mucho de turismo sobretodo de Portugal

Maria Christiansen Catalão is a great friend of mine, and I have known her for almost 10 years. She is reliable, courteous, kind, and giving (and very hip!), and I highly recommend that anyone interested in a living space as you are traveling through Portugal contact Maria.

Do share Maria's house! It is in a quiet neighbourhood near the ocean. She knows all the nice, fun, cozzy, sunny.... places around Estoril. Being half Portuguese and half German she is a good mixture of warmth from the south and diplomacy from the north. You will not regret your choice.
