We had a fantastic week in Almoçogeme which is about 20 minutes by bus from either Sintra or Cascais. If you want to get away from the touristy crowds and experience what it's like to live in a quiet Portuguese village, then this is the place for you! Cláudia is a wonderful host! Attentive, friendly and thoughtful, she went out of her way to make us feel welcome and to ensure that we had a great visit including picking us up at the train station in Sintra when we arrived and providing numerous thoughtful treats during our stay. The apartment was lovely. Very clean and comfortable, with a beautiful view overlooking the farmlands towards the ocean. If you enjoy hiking, there are many scenic hiking routes nearby, including paths along the clifftops and trails through the National forest. The apartment is located on a dead end street, so it is very quiet for sleeping, but just a short walk into Almoçogeme's center where there are shops and restaurants, and an excellent bi-weekly market. Our stay at Cláudia's place was one of our best AirB&B experience's so far! Thanks Cláudia, we will be back!
