Isabel was an angel, so warmhearted and kind, even helped me on my art project, the house is delightful with stunning decors and a luxurious terrace overlooking the entire village where you can have a sunny breakfast time. The doggies were cute and very well behaved, not at all annoying or intrusive. I chose this place mainly because it was closest located to the footpath to the two main castles, that being said i would not advise to try being first in line at Pena as there will be other hundreds people trying the same. Instead went to the Moorish first and around 3pm at Pena no queue at all and the light and position of the sun are perfect for richly saturated photos, shot best one at 5pm actually (visited late June) with almost no people in frame. Also know that all shops close at 7pm there but there are few restaurants open till 9pm at least. So thankful to have met Isabel, this cosmopolite multilingual classy lady with a golden heart, already missing her, missing the ambiance and missing beautiful Sintra, 3 days were not enough!
