Sometimes airbnb gives you that ideal combination of perfect accommodation and lovely informative local hosts - Chico's place does all that and more! We spent a magical month here - the house is perfectly located to explore Sintra and all the nearby beaches and also only 40 mins drive away from Lisbon, in a peaceful non-touristy area. The house itself is beautiful - the photos don't do it justice - it was great to have a well equipped kitchen and despite being quite cold outside the combination of central heating and the wood burner kept us warm enough. Our son loved exploring the gardens and picking fresh oranges from the trees and we even managed a few dips in the swimming pool. The local hosts Manuel and Teresa are what made this place for us though - full of local knowledge they gave us a brilliant booklet full of tips for beaches, walks and restaurants, they would leave us treats and even brought over a little tent for our son to play with. Thank you so much Chico, Manuel and Teresa we had a wonderful stay!
