This is a fantastic, quiet, and secluded cottage, and Carole is excellent. The community of Sintra is beautiful, and being in Sintra when the tourist leave is even better. The food in town is great especially at the Tulhas restaurant only steps away, is excellent. Great people, great place, and a great experience. If you are over 6 foot tall heads up, the door isn't, but I understand it is the original.
