This is the best location for visiting the sights of Sintra - it's on the hill near the Palace of Pena, Moorish Castle, Quinta da Regaleira, etc. so you can avoid the long walk uphill from central Sintra. Ines, Bruno and their son Eric were all friendly and very helpful with suggestions for sightseeing and food. The Lugar dos Sabores cafe in the nearby square is a great place for breakfast and pastel de nata.
