We were unusual guests in that we were not tourists on vacation, and had more business-like tasks. We arrived an hour late, on an off-season rainy day. Rita welcomed us into her lovely, clean, pretty space, delivered extra umbrellas, restaurant suggestions, patience and warmth! She attended to all our needs (taxi drivers, even a pencil!) but we had plenty of privacy and left us alone.
It's a perfect place for one person or a couple who can share the bed. The couch is too small of extras. A cool location in terms of walking to the town and sites, but fine for a 2 euro Uber if the hill feels too daunting. We loved Sintra and feel honored to have had a few nights in the lovely space.
