I just re-read the reviews from prior guests, and everything they say is true! Madalena and husband Carlos are enchantingly warm and welcoming. They were very patient with our late arrival and with helping us find our way when we got lost because of unreliable GPS. They responded quickly to each message we sent during our stay, and we were not shy about asking about this and that. The location is incredible -- one of the main attractions of Sintra is literally across the street, the stroll to town is no more than 10-15 minutes, and there are several nice restaurants along the way if you don't want to go that far. The guest house where we stayed is next to a mansion that has belonged to the family for seven generations, so you feel steeped in Sintra's culture and history. The rooftop deck has a great view of Sintra center and the verdant hills that surround Sintra. You can dine outdoors in a lovely garden, and there is a big game room in the lower floor that looks great for families. Madalena's tips for local restaurants were excellent, and they helped us arrange for a taxi to a fantastic restaurant on the ocean beach, which is just 20-30 minutes away. I myself am an AirBnB super host, and I was humbled by my stay at Villa Roma (which is the name of the estate where the guest house is located). If sharing a single bathroom is not a deal breaker for your group, I cannot imagine a better place to stay.
