Two lovely houses in a very beautiful setting. The location is great for exploring Sintra and surrounding places. Sintra is very busy in Summer ! We had a few cloudy days but this is not normal for August. It made sightseeing more comfortable. The Moorish Castle was a great walk and stunning views. We did not need to hire a car to get around and used Uber and the train in to Lisbon. It is quite a steep climb from the town to the house which was fine for us but useful to know. Restaurants in Sintra are quite touristy so would recommend the coastal restaurants. The pizza restaurant on the walk into town was really nice - Fatto a Sintra.
