This is a charming apartment, sparkling clean and restored beautifully with antique furnishings and paintings by the owner, Christiane and husband. It could not be be better located in the central square with a stunning view from the 2nd floor of the Royal Palace. Christiane very kindly left a bottle of Portuguese port for us and although she wasn’t there in person, her friend Burghard met us and was very helpful.
The beds were very comfortable and it was great to have a lovely soak in the bath after a long day walking. There were even some basic provisions thoughtfully left for us. Although the apartment is so centrally situated above the restaurants in the main square, very little noise penetrates.
The world heritage sites are all within easy reach, many by foot. Also be sure to take the hop on, hop off bus around the more distant heritage sites, with gorgeous gardens and grounds, like Monserrate.
But don’t forget to visit the ancient royal castle just across the street. The tourist information centre in Sintra is very helpful and everyone speaks English and are very friendly.
Thank you for a great stay - we loved Sintra and your apartment.
