The house is modern, clean, quiet and comfortable. It is situated in a small village near Sintra and there are a couple of restaurants and a grocery shop within walking distance. If you don't have a car, you'll probably want to use a taxi if you have heavy luggage. I used buses to return from Sintra and to visit Cascais. Patricia was a friendly and extremely helpful host. She was happy to answer my questions and helped me by booking a taxi to the station on my last day.
