Daniel is a great host. He is very engaging and wants to make sure each guest is happy and taken care of. He has a house manager Helen who was a great help to us and very nice to work with. The house is typical of the region in that it is small compared to the US but large compared to Sintra Portugal standards. Daniel has lovingly updated it and modernized it while maintaining the beauty of the home's original construction. Daniel and his wife have spent a great deal of time paying attention to every detail to make the home feel authentic for it's time period while comfortable and modern for guests. And the breakfast which is included is amazing.
