Susanna went out of her way to make it possible for our large family to stay in her place. Big breakfast, room en-suite was okay, kids enjoyed the pool. A few minutes from a choice of beaches, but only hourly bus service to Sintra, and not a lot quicker than the journey from Lisbon to Sintra, which is cheaper and more frequent. So overall good stay, but when traveling by public transport, not an ideal base to visit Sintra.
