The Windmill is a magical place. It is in the middle of countryside, surrounded by beautiful pine trees and just minutes from the beach. You will feel far from city life, but are in fact very close to Sintra and Lisbon, with public transit options that make the stay very convenient for those traveling without a car.

The home has everything you should need, the bed was one of the most comfortable I've slept in ever! Ricardo was very kind and helpful and even answered our silly questions of curiosity about the history of the windmill.

While here you must visit the lovely little supermarket in Fontanelas and cook something on the bbq outside.

This was our introduction to Portugal and it was so memorable, we would have stayed longer than the few days we had, and hope we might be able to return one day.
