Mariana's home is set in an enormous wild, walled garden with fruiting trees and flowers. It has the taste of an older time in Sintra, and the essence of the family farm life. It is a haven of peace in a perfect location, walking distance to traditional and modern local restaurants, the famous Casa do Preto cafe and the sweetest local grocery shop. The rooms were clean and exactly as described. We enjoyed the large shuttered window and the light rooms with a view of nature from every room. Sharing the communal spaces with Mariana was an easeful pleasure and we will definitely stay again on our next visit to Sintra.
