We were kindly welcomed with Ida’s warming personality which made us immediately feel right at home and there was also complimentary port wine set by our room. The location was in a very peaceful location but also right near the road to the castle, and if you don’t mind the hike up with good shoes it’s not too far to get to (just don’t believe the tuktuk drivers when they try to convince you to pay 10 euros each one way and say that it’s an hour hike up when you’re already 15 minutes from getting there).
The room itself was clean and comfortable. You do get your own private bathroom which is always a plus in a home, and as the pictures show, there is no door. My boyfriend and I were able to politely go downstairs and give each other privacy in the living room though so it was no big deal at all. I would 10/10 come back to stay at Ida’s if I ever make it back to Sintra.
