Claudia is a lovely, kind & thoughtful host. She made us all feel very welcome ( 2 adults plus 1 child aged 8). From the beginning. Claudia met us in Colares at 11pm. iIt was lovely to arrive at the house to find a coffee pot and a packet of ground coffee waiting for you. In the morning, Claudia gave us some food for breakfast. Staying at Claudia"s, it"s like every day is the weekend ....peaceful. When we got our bearings, we felt lucky to be so well situated -
For great tapas just walk up to the main road and visit Raphael at Adega
There's a little supermarket in walking distance
At the weekend, along the main road, there are a number of fruit/vegetable stalls selling local produce. The cafe there is very reasonably priced, everyone coped with our terrible Portuguese language skills for which we are eternally grateful.
Great beaches close by
The two main attractions for us were the monastery and the Moorish castle
The house itself was lovely, and we all enjoyed the garden and the wonderful view. We would recommend you have a car (small as possible because of the narrowness of the roads)
My son loved Simba the friendly dog
Thanks Claudia for making our 1st visit to Sintra so enjoyable.
Our stay was for 1.5 weeks
