We found Burghard's apartment to be a great place from which to explore Sintra, Lisbon, and the Atlantic coast. It was comfortable and (for two people) spacious, with a fully equipped kitchen and living room/dining area -- great for relaxing after a full day of hiking or the beach. Additionally, the apartment was sparkling clean and in top condition. Sintra is challenging to navigate by car, but Burghard provided detailed directions for our arrival and check-in, and met us in the city center to help us find a parking spot. Additionally, he was available in his tile shop for Sintra tips and advice. If we return to Sintra, we would certainly stay with Burghard again.
