Beautiful, spacious room and bath on an extraordinary property, a working farm that really gives you a sense of true Sintra, not far at all from the madding crowds and lines for castles. (Which themselves are fantastic, but I suggest buying tickets ahead or going very early.) You can make delicious simple breakfast in the classic big farm kitchen and have a coffee and listen to the chickens on the veranda, before setting off to explore the myriad treasures historical monuments or beaches nearby. There are also handily several restaurants right around the corner, or just a mile away a big grocery store to get croissants or picnic items you may need for the day. Mariana is a wonderful host.
