Nicole is one of the kindest host w ever had! She explained everything about Sintra and the surrounding with some great recommendations for places to visit.
The house is a magical spot that has the BEST view of Sintra.. You won't find that in restaurants, hotels or view spots in Sintra (true story) We loved the place so much that we were buying or ordering food (Uber Eat works there 🤯) and enjoy your own private restaurant! The pool was the cherry on the cake as we had some cold nights but with the heated pool you are covered to stay in the pool as much as you want.
Before we go, we had some concerns on the privacy as we like to travel and book the whole for ourselves and at Carole's, she lives on the top of our rented flat and there was another couple renting another cottage next to us..BUT we had no problem and we felt very private which was very great considering it was my gf birthday.
No need for a car but if you get a small car will be a plus to visit some of the beaches around Sintra.
Recommended place and Thanks again Carole and Stuart for hosting us.
Cheers
