The listed address was wrong so we almost had a disastrous start. We took an Uber from Sintra. The given address took us to Colares town, instead of Penedo. Fortunately our Uber hasn't left before we realised we had the wrong address. The uber driver was kind enough to phone the owner and find the correct address. Penedo is a small town ideally suited if you want to see the real Portugal. It isn't a touristy spot. It is rural and rustic. There is a bar and restaurant (with a small shop) right across the street that has all the essentials you might need. The apartment is stylishly decorated with beautiful antique furniture and is comfortable and spacious. The streets are very narrow, so we were glad we didn't come by car, although the car would be handy for visiting the beach (we walked 6 km) and neighbouring towns.
