Carole's cottage is absolutely amazing. If the pictures and Sintra area appeal to you at all, then do yourself a favor and book it. You will not be disappointed. It's in a great location, Carole gave wonderful recommendations, and provided some staples for a nice breakfast. The cottage and garden area are stunning. I had a hard time leaving the cottage to go exploring because it was so nice lounging in the garden having a cup of coffee or glass of wine. Cannot recommend this place enough!
