It was an exceptional pleasure to stay at this charming and idyllic cottage outside of Sintra, surrounded by nature, beautiful gardens and breathtaking views. It felt like a dream.
The house is a delight, rustic, quirky and filled with personal touches. A very pleasant place for peacefully whiling away the hours or to use as a base for exploring Sintra, surrounding towns and villages and the many beaches just a short drive or bus ride away. The cheerful kitchen is well appointed. The bed is the most comfortable, perfect for those quiet, serene starlit nights.
Maria Jose was truly an exceptional host, so very kind and helpful, providing special treats upon arrival. She is very enthusiastic and knowledgeable about the area and provides all sorts of recommendations and tips. She has put together a very helpful guide, with maps, bus schedules, beaches, restaurants, shopping and other resources.
For those desiring something slightly off-the-beaten-track and out-of-the-ordinary, staying at Maria Jose’s cottage is a magical experience.
