A last minute booking was graciously accepted by Paulo, and he made everything possible for us to have a great time. We were picked up from Sintra station and taken to this beautiful cottage in Galamares. The pictures don't do the place the most justice, the cottage is part of a large piece of land and you have total seclusion and views of Montmartre. The tram and bus stop is on the main road, an easy 5 min walk away. This will take you to Sintra and also to the beach. The next town down towards the beach Colares is very cute, and worth a visit. Also home to vineyards dating back to 1800's. Staying at Quinta Do Riacho was perfect, away from the busy crowded streets of Sintra, but close enough to visit and return back to tranquility. There is a vegetable garden, a huge outdoor tiled patio, a big garden, well equipped kitchen, very comfortable bed, great hot water system, tv, hairdryer, everything you need really! We had the best time and really recommend this place to anyone wishing to enjoy the Sintra area.
