Our family had a lovely time at Ana’s property and exploring Sintra. The grounds of the property are huge. We were a group of 12 and had more than enough space to stretch our legs. I especially enjoyed visiting the gardens for a peaceful stroll while the kids swam. Note, you’ll need to bring your own pool towels.
The walk into Sintra is easy with a sidewalk nearly all the way. The hill is steep coming back but we had no problems with that, even with the 4 year old. You really can’t beat the location.
The houses were nice and spacious. The larger house was great for everyone to gather in. We didn’t realize when we booked that the smaller house had someone living in the lower apartment, but it wasn’t a problem. The houses were comfortable for sleeping as the evenings were cool. The kitchens had the basic equipment, though a few extras to get started with like oil, sugar or spices would have been nice.
All in all, I recommend Ana’s property as a good base for exploring Sintra.
