What a wonderful place. This clean, spacious light filled apartment with its own private terrace is surrounded by gardens with an expansive uninterrupted view down the hillside. This beautiful escape is just a 3 minute walk from the historic center. It’s easy to understand how Sintra is a world heritage site and "Cinco" captures its essence. But the best part of the stay was the very personable way Carole and Stuart made you feel, more like a friend or family (family you like) than a renter. Offering helpful advise on what to see and where to eat, but mostly just sharing their history of life in Sintra and elsewhere. We wanted an experience to fondly remember, and that’s what we got.
