We enjoyed our stay at Manuela’s. She greeted us warmly but then left us alone and “closed her blinds” so that we could feel like we had the place and cute garden to ourselves. The location is good if you want to stay a bit outside of the historic, touristy area of Sintra but with easy access (10 minutes) to that part of town. We had a car but the bus station to get to the historic area was also literally right outside the house- and honestly driving in the historic area is pretty confusing and difficult so the bus is probably easier, honestly. We visited Sintra in January and the place was a little chilly when we arrived but the space heater warmed it up nicely after a few hours. The little “breakfast” was a nice touch. Thanks!
