This penthouse has an unrivalled view of the National Palace of Sintra, it is truly stunning. There is lots of light and fresh air from the double doors. The apartment is cosy, homely and has lots of charm. Everything is well thought out for the guests. Endless supply of toilet rolls and great cleaning service. There is a very steep stairs leading into the property. It would not be suitable for people with disabilities and we had a job to get the suitcases up! The host did assist us kindly and had a complimentary bottle of port waiting for us! Very thoughtful.
The area is in the centre of the tourist area. Unfortunately if you are without a car you do have to walk 15 to 20 mins for a bigger super market. The area is a tourist trap and costs double for everything. We walked to the next town near the train station for our coffees and food. The area is very quiet at night and all tourist are just there for day trips. There is lots to do and see and would recommend if you are into architecture and history. There is lots of walks in nature but also a lot of hills! We did find the apartment and area very relaxing.
