My husband and I had a really lovely time staying in Jorge's famlies' home. The view and comfortable surroundings made it a vacation we'll never forget. It's a great launch point to local beaches, touristy sintra sites, and Lisbon, but we really enjoyed the quiet, neighborhood feel. The weather is a little chillier than we expected, with sea breezes and some clouds in the morning, but we had plenty of sunshine eventually. Good food also isn't far away. We had a rental car and had no trouble parking, but there's also a bus stop just a few steps away.
