A stunning house: huge and very well-located. Walk to beach, markets, restaurants, and Sintra tram. Relax by the pool (if weather is warm enough) and listen to beautiful birdsong. Plenty of room for 8 people to spread out. Very helpful and responsive host. (Note: the beds are extremely firm--too hard for comfort for some in our party.) Kitchen fairly well-equipped, but is a separate room, so less fun for the chef. Outdoor eating area is fabulous.
