This place is great if you wanna stay right in Sintra. The house has everything you need when you want to take a break from seeing everything Sintra has to offer or you decide to take a day trip to one of the nearby beaches for a surf. Only thing I have to offer as a warning is that the parking regulations in Sintra are a little unclear. We parked on the street as it was mentioned that would be fine. There were no markings that indicated no parking, ie signs or yellow stripes on the side of the road but we still received a ticket. This was past the house around the second curve to the left. We parked here for a couple days with no problem then received a ticket one afternoon. We parked around the next turn to the right past the aforementioned curve on the cobblestone road and didn't have anymore parking problems. As I said earlier this place is great, I recommend staying here, just be careful on the parking.
