Sonia and Miguel were terrific and caring hosts. They were available when we taxied into town after our early morning flight.
Their flat couldn't be more centralized in Sintra, we enjoyed being right in the thick of things. The guitarist played nightly at the cafe across the ally providing sweet background music for dancing or just relaxing and chatting.
My husband had a leg injury while we stayed. Therefore the one floor walk up and the short walks to the train station, multiple palaces and the Moors Castle on the mountain made it easy for us to sight see. We did spend a day visiting the coast and the small beaches which are about 20 minutes away by car. Bring a sweater because it gets windy and chilly in the middle of the day at times.
I recommend cafe Piriquita for breakfast pastries, in fact I wish i was there eating one right now. Enjoy one for me on your stay!
