Ecoaldeia de Janas is well located between Sintra en the beaches. It is perfect if you are looking for a quiet, simple place to stay. Although there are some busses and you can walk to the beach, a car would make you able to explore the area a lot better. I stayed for 11 days which gave me the opportunity to help out a bit as a volunteer. This gave me a good impression of how much effort it takes to organise a place like this and how much the help of interns and volunteers is appreciated. I really enjoyed sharing a meal with the other guests and volunteers after a day working outside.
