+ Central location, all main sights (Quinta da Regaleira, Palacio, Castelo) are available by walking (the climb uphill i 30 min and really no prob if you are accustomed to hiking in the Alps)
+ Nice big terrace
+ Our highlight: the lemon tree in the garden! We started each day with a freshly pressed lemon shot :-)
+ The bathrooms are really nice and newly renovated
+ Big kitchen
+ Ideal for 3 4 people travelling together
- I would not recommend visiting Sintra by car (streets are way too narrow, super hilly ...)
- For reaching a good grocery store, you need a car ... so better bring your essentials if you are travelling by bus ... and even if you arrive by car, make sure you can bring everything (see comment above)
- The second bedroom is a bit mouldy and rather noisy (you can hear every word the rather loud neighbours from above say ...)
We had some issues with the electricity and heating, but we were able to settle everything very peacefully with Luis and Teresa. Thank you again!
