From reading other reviews, my husband and I thought that Carole's cottage would be the ideal place for our honeymoon. It was a truly peaceful, romantic and magical place. The cottage itself is very quiet with a beautiful garden with breathtaking views. A major plus was how cool the cottage stayed in the heat. All the whimsical, cute details of the cottage were so enjoyable, we took so many photos! We enjoyed breakfast provided in the garden with homemade jam. It was also an ideal location for an evening glass of wine to escape from the hustle and bustle of Sintra. The historic centre is on your doorstep but at the cottage it feels as if you are in the countryside. We loved swimming in the pool everyday! Carole provided local information with suggestions for restaurants and it was a great base to explore all the amazing sights Sintra has to offer. Our favourite was the Quinta de Regaleira just a ten minute walk away. We definitely want to come back and would without a doubt stay here!
