If you should ever find yourself in Sintra, you MUST stay at Carole's cottage. It is the most picturesque and lovely place. Perfect for a get away and perfectly located. It is close to the city center, the national palace of sintra, quinta regaleira, and the tourist bus stop that gives a quick 10 minute ride to the Moor's Castle and Pena Palace. It is evident that Carole has gone through great lengths to prepare a warm, cozy, well designed and decorated space for guests. She was a dream to work with, so kind upon our arrival, offering tips and advice for what to see, where to eat, and things to do. She provides maps and books in the cottage that talk about the area and the sites. She provides delicious bread and butter, homemade jams, and eggs for breakfast. This was the best place that I have stayed at via airbnb. The views from the cottage and private garden alone are worth a visit themselves. I can't say enough good things about this place or Carole. Thank you, thank you. We will most definitely come back if we ever return to Sintra, and we have been recommending and bragging about our stay in the cottage to all our friends and family!
