We stayed for a week in Anabela's place, and we really loved it. It is a cosy, little place, just like the pictures. Anabela responds fast to questions. She lives next door, but gives you all the privacy. The kitchen is small and simple, but we cooked a couple days our meals there. We loved the visits of the cats and became good friends.The wifi is fast and everything is clean. If you are used to a soft bed, the firm mattress might be a challenge, but the bedding is clean and comfortable and the loft cosy. We were slightly unlucky with the weather, apparently in August the village is often in a fog and clouds due to the cold wind from the Atlantic. So, take some warm clothes with you. Although it would be handy to have a car, we did everything by public transport. With bus 403 you can get to a lot of places in the region and it goes every half hour. Almocegeme (try to pronounce that :) :), 20 min walk) has a small grocery store with everything you need for daily shopping. We loved Refugio de Ciclista and Paolo's Cafe in Penedo (5 min walk), and Adega Vadia (15 min) to eat and drink. We made great hikes through the Sintra mountains. I can recommend the walk from the house to Conventos de Capuchos through the forest (on the website of wikiloc you can find many tracks in the area that you can download on OSMAnd app for hiking). In short, highly recommendable.
