If you're even thinking twice about staying at this cottage, stop and reserve now. It was just as charming, if not even more so, than described. Stuart was very welcoming and so helpful regarding what to see, where to eat, and how to spend our time. We loved hearing about how they found and have improved the property. Most importantly, the cottage was so cozy and perfect for two people. It's not large, but it doesn't need to be. We found it very relaxing and had more than we needed. The heated floors made it warm even in January. The gardens and view were impressive, and the walk to town was very short - as well as to many other sights. Plus, the local bus was very easy to hop on if your legs get tired. We cannot wait to get back to Sintra and to this cottage! Thanks to Carole and Stuart! Cheers!
