I really enjoyed my stay at Sintra, especially because the accommodation was so lovely. Vera and Filipe organized everything and the Self Check in was very easy. They also recommended a few places to go to and were very helpful. I also messaged them and they helped me out and recommended lunch places next to the accommodation.
The food was great. The house looks really amazing. So pretty. Definitely take a few pictures of the terrace, living room, kitchen when you are there.
I also had my photo taken (19th Century experience) which I highly recommend. (Filipe was very flexible and I had my session right after breakfast) Filipe explained everything and even taught me some stuff about photography (because I am currently a beginner and am trying to learn). Vera was also very lovely. And I enjoyed chatting with them. You get the feeling that they are such nice people and enjoy the work they do.
I will definitely be back in Sintra (lovely place and hiking along the west coast is such an amazing experience) and will definitely be staying at Five Houses again.
