Staying in Sintra at Maria‘s home was one of our best decision. The home is quite central with bus connections ( 1.10 euro single one way journey) and taxi ( 5 Euro one way). Even walking does not take more than 20 minutes. The house was very beautiful and comfortable. We used all common areas like our home. We were welcomed by her son Duart and on last days we met her mother Maria. Whole family is friendly and their dog as well. Totally recommended. :)
