A charming cottage, furnished with taste and character. Nice roomy sitting room, very light and airy. Main bedroom comfortable and bright. Attractive small flowery garden, good for sitting out and catching afternoon and early evening sun. A particular plus is the friendliness and helpfulness of the owners, Beatriz and Isabel. The cottage is a 5 minute walk to the main square in Sintra's historic centre. The road is steep, and generally visitors to Sintra should expect to climb hills and steps. Bus services to the Sintra sights and to the coast worked well, trains into Lisbon are frequent and a taxi to Lisbon airport was very reasonable. The many castles, palaces and museums easily fill a week.
