This is a difficult review. Some places are so special you would want to keep them secret and for yourself. Maria José's cottage is one of those magic places. It is so delicately and thoughtfully arranged every detail strikes you with the care and attention she has put in it to make you feel good. And she lives up to the feeling and atmosphere she created, ever thoughtful and available when you need her. I have know Sintra for over 15 years and la casa de tomadia is my best find. Muito obrigado Maria José.
