The cottage at Quinta Velha is lovely. The standard is very high and all furnishings are very comfortable and stylish. The bed is comfortable and bedding is top hotel standard. There is a lovely swimming pool area right next to the cottage. The property is in a perfect position on the road to Peña Palace and there are footpaths to the palace and down to the village of Sintra. The area is beautiful and there are so many wonderful historical attractions. Our favourite was the Initiation well in the gardens of Quinta da Regaleira. Absolutely amazing.
