As I knew Lisbon and Sintra well before coming to Matilde's house, nobody needed to recommend it for me. It is definitively one of the most beautiful places in the world, simply and so (Unesco world heritage list etc). Moreover, Matilde's home is not situated in the main tourist area, but still in the beautiful, historic part of Sintra: the best of the best!

The pictures are exact, the house and the room are simple but nice and comfortable. What I appreciated most was Matilde's and her son's attitude towards me, so friendly, welcoming, helpful, and at the same time respecting my own schedule, which actually unfortunately was a busy one. I truly regret I have not had more time to spend with her. If I have an opportunity to come back to Sintra, I'd like to be hosted in her house again.

Muito obrigada, Matilde!
