Isabel has a beautiful home in the perfect location in Sintra. I enjoyed the walk from the train station to her house, which was only uphill, but I was only carrying a light bag! Once you take the climb, you get to a beautiful home, and climb some stairs in her house to this beautiful terrace with incredible views of Sintra. It takes your breath away. Just to sit on the terrace and enjoy a cup of tea was wonderful. She has two beautiful dogs, who I loved very much, and were very friendly. Isabel herself is a kind-hearted, dear soul who I was so glad to have met. Her home is very close to one of the highlights of Sintra, the Moorish Castle on the hill. I also walked to some others about 30 minutes away, although there are lots of buses. And there are some great cafes nearby that she'll recommend for coffee or dinner. When I go back to Sintra I'll be staying with Isabel again. Thank you for such a wonderful stay!
