We have just enjoyed a wonderful stay in Izumi and Francis’s cottage. It is exactly as described and the garden is amazing.
We arrived to very unseasonable weather, wet and cold as though walking through a cloud. Izumi had left logs available for the wood burning oven and we soon had a warm, cosy room to relax in. Izumi brought extra fire lighters and kindling wood the next day and told us to use the heater if we needed it. Within two days the weather had improved and we were eating breakfast on the terrace, enjoying the view.
The cottage is in a very quiet location in the very centre of Sintra. The facilities are very good, including a lovely hot shower and comfortable bed. A complimentary bottle of wine was left out for our arrival.
Thank you Izumi and Francis for a wonderful stay.
