Rui’s place was clean, comfortable, and spacious! It has everything you need. It’s the perfect place to be close enough to take a quick and affordable 5 minute Uber ride into the Sintra city center and feels out of the way enough to have a quiet, calm place to retreat for the night.
Walking to the Sintra city center is definitely doable (we did this once), but with the winding, tight roads, it was not so easily done at night so we took Ubers the rest of the time. There are also restaurants very nearby if you want to stay close to home.
One of the things we enjoyed the most was the spacious backyard and front deck. We spent every morning drinking coffee at the table in the backyard that has a great view of Pena Palace up on the mountain top. On clear nights you can see it all lit up!
Overall - great hosting, very communicative, and a very well taken care of space.
