Andre's place was absolutely perfect and I was so happy that I was able to stay in magical Sintra for a week and pretend that I lived there. It was nice to have 2 separate rooms, both full of light and with their own heat/ac. There is a big closet with lots of storage and other amenities like an iron and safe that I did not have anywhere else in my 2 months in Portugal. The hot water and pressure were fantastic. You can see the chimneys of the National Palace if you look to your far right from the bedroom window. Note that the main living space is up a flight of stairs and there is a toilet on the first floor that I did not use. The location couldn't be more convenient and very quiet even though it was a well trod walkway. It is very close to the trail that you can walk to Vila Sasseti and the Moorish Castle and Pena as well as the road to Quinta Regaliera. Tascantiga, a tapas restaurant is just out the door to the left up the hill and just off the main square I really enjoyed the food at Becco de Sintra. Besides the palaces there is a lot of natural beauty in Sintra that I would have liked to explore further. Enjoy!
