This is a real gem of a place pretty much on top of the hill by Sintra. Once you realise that it’s near impossible to park anywhere near the many sights of Sintra, having such a nice secluded place to stay that is a mere hop across the road on foot to Sinatra’s greatest treasure - the vast Palácio e Parque National de Pena - is a rare privilege. Also make sure you take Daniel up on his superb local recommendations for restaurants in the area. If you fancy getting out of the touristy hustle bustle of the village after sightseeing, the beach front cafes and eateries in particular were a real treat. Don’t miss the aforementioned Palace Gardens, they are tranquil and magical - and cover a huge area. Literally no one else in the area will have this easy access. Highly recommended.
