Loved this beautiful space. Perfect stay, clean and very comfortable. Location is great as you are secluded and yet only a few minutes away from the awesome Casa Do Preto (famous pastries from 1931) Daily pastries and coffee ! Yum. In addition great restaurants in town (our pick was Adega Do Saloio - fresh grilled fish, great wine, and fresh desserts) We preferred to eat in the local restaurants rather than the main Sintra area awash with tourists. Here it was 90% locals. English is however not a problem. Note you can actually walk into the main old part of Sintra down some winding roads and hills, took about 20 minutes. Definitely get a taxi back which is easy.
We did not rent a car as Uber/taxi was easy. Avoid the annoying Tuc Tucs (why does Sintra allow those?)
If you are a car/racing enthusiast check and see what's on at the Estoril Circuit which is actually only 10 mins away (6 Euro Uber) I went to the Estoril Classics and it was incredible.
Parking is outside the gate on a fairly narrow street, inside the gate. Small car would be better but as I say not essential especially if you are there to see Sintra sites as the main part of town is walkable and easier by Uber or Taxi. This place really is great for a solo guest or a couple.
The private patio is beautiful and tranquil and Joana was a really accommodating host. She allowed us a later checkout on the day we left which really made life easier. Great stay! We will be back.
