I've had a very nice stay. Sharing great conversations with all the people that lived there (some working around the Ecoaldeia projects, some as guests). It's a quiet place and I slept like a stone. If the weather is good, you will enjoy to sit outside in the sun. Otherwise the huge cheminee will provide a beautiful fire. If you walk around the land you will be able to enjoy a glimpse on the Palacio da Pena dominating the hills. You can get to Sintra easily with the bus, and a taxi to get back to the place in 10-12 € if you don't want to take the bus. You can also walk to serveral places (Azenhas, Colares,...). Cascais is 20 min by bus if you go to Colares. Really nice supermarket at 10 mins from the Ecoaldeia. (vegetarian, asian, fine food). A great stay. Thanks for everything and wishing all of us the best for your projects - and the sweet family as well.
