Patricia's town house was absolutely delightful. It was gorgeously decorated and very comfortable. Patricia and Pedro were extremely helpful and they'd put together a very good couple of pages of information and recommendations for places to eat and visit, as well as maps and guides. And a really welcome bottle of wine and bowl of fruit!

The house is very well situated, a very short walk from the station but quiet - we could sit out on the patio or lie in the hammock without being disturbed.

We particularly enjoyed the nearby Cafe Saudade and the Incomum restaurant opposite it (both recommended by Patricia), though there are plenty of other good places she recommends to eat and drink. And we spent quite a time exploring the various fascinating sights, museums and parks such as the Quinta da Regaleira and Sintra National Palace (both walking distance) as well as, of course, the Park and National Palace of Pena and the Moorish Castle (both better tackled by bus - the shorter of the two hop on hop off routes would be best with the Castle first given the route). Anyway, lots of other things to do and explore. For instance, we enjoyed going out to the westernmost part of mainland Europe at Cabo da Roca for the lighthouse, sunset and experience.
