Quiet, hillside retreat. Old world home with old world charm. Nice exterior seating and private area to relax.
Set approximately 30 minute drive outside Sintra proper. If you are looking to get away from any sights, sounds of the city, this is the place.
For those traveling with a stick/manual transmission: G-maps will direct you onto a road that is steep and narrow; a real tester and not for the faint of heart. You may encounter oncoming traffic which will force you to back up to a safe spot such as a driveway or slightly wider part of the road. There is an alternative route which takes you to the ocean, and then to Sintra. Ask for this route, or check G-maps throughly. We found the road challenging and fun on the fourth time up, as my Navigator let me know in advance of the hairpin turns.
