We booked the airport pickup with Petro so our arrival went smoothly, it's about 45min drive from Lisbon airport. Petro welcomed us at the gate and showed us the property and to our place. It is two identical cottages at the very end of the property but they are built in a way that you have complete privacy from each other. The cottage is exactly like in the pictures with great view over the mountain, and the bed is really comfy to sleep in. Petro then took us to a minimarket nearby to shop for what we needed during our stay (coffee, bread, jam etc. for breakfast), cause it is a very remote village and you don't get far on foot. He also helped us book a nice table at Bar do Fundo for a sundowner dinner on our first night, so everything was perfect.
But the next day I got sick very badly (probably because of the octopus and the fish we ate in the evening), as we were about to have lunch at a restaurant in downtown Almocageme. My husband called Petro and he came for help immediately. It was Friday afternoon when the doctor office was only open until 15h. Besides, I kept throwing up so frequently that I was in no condition to get in the car to go anywhere. Luckily, and magically, Petro knew the Doc personally, who could fortunately speak English, and could arrange for him to come see us at the cottage. We couldn't imagine what could have happened in that remote place without Petro's and his family's help. I was really really sick that day, but I'll spare you the worst part.. His mother brought us some tea while his father drove my husband to the Pharmacy to get what the Doctore prescribed. The Doctor also made us call him twice the next day, which was a Saturday, to make sure I was ok (this would never happen in Germany!). We actually talked to his wife on the phone cause she spoke better English than him, and very good German too. We are so grateful for everyone of them and couldn't thank them enough.
Petro is a great host from the time of my booking to the very end. He answered any question we had very promptly (per iMessage) and was always just a phone call away for whatever we needed. He even went the extra mile and picked up the invoice from the Doc and sent it to Germany to us, since we left already on Sunday and couldn't do it ourselves. His parents are also very welcoming and friendly even though they speak very little English. We wanted so badly to taste his mom's foods but we had to cancel it after my health incident, but we wouldn't miss it next time. During our stay, we felt very good taken cared of and would definitely stay here again next time we come to Sintra.
