It is an idyllic fairytale spot, though there are elements of both the magic garden and the lost kingdom as they restrain mother nature. The pool is fantastic.
The location is very convenient for Sintra and Cascais and driving into Lisbon was fine. However in the immediate locality there is nothing really within walking distance. a car is essential.
Highly recommend Casa Mei in the village for pastries and Pastel di nata.
Lovely host
