The beauty and charm of this cottage simply cannot be conveyed by pictures. It is a garden of Eden with an unexpected touch of "Hygge" in the décor. It could truly not be more lovely. In terms of location, it is very convenient to the attractions around Sintra as well as the ocean. And staying on the mountain is an experience I will never forget. It was just absolutely beautiful. About 100 meters up a trail from her house, we enjoyed a panoramic view of the mountain, the ocean, the Palace of Pena, and the Moorish castle. The views from the bedroom are pretty outstanding as well. And one of the nights when the wind was high on the ocean, we could vaguely hear the crashing waves below! Do beware that the roads in the villages going up and down to the cottage towards the ocean side are very narrow and steep. It only took a little getting used to though and it was really nice to have on-site parking. And the route down the backside of the mountain to Cascais and the palaces is a very easy and scenic. You definitely know you are in a Natural Park! I couldn't recommend this cottage more highly and hope to return someday.
