Ricardo's rustic windmill was a wonderful retreat and a great contrast from the hustle of polished Sintra and the local sites. We had problems at check-in when the property was not available at the pre-agreed time. Ricardo was not there and we were shown around by kind housemaid who only spoke Portuguese, so we missed all the important information (like tap water not drinkable?!) A large local fly-tipping rubbish site at the drive and the local dogs persistent barking (strays? kennels?) also spoilt the atmosphere. Bikes were not available as described, and there was no readily available info on the local amenities. For us it was a disappointing Airbnb experience.
