I could not have had a better time spent in Sintra staying in Isabel's home. I was greeted with open arms and the house is beautiful - photos don't justify the good feeling the house has.Not only Isabel very helpful to recommend things to do in Sintra and beyond, but good company to talk to, and I was very happy to be invited to join for a dinner during my last evening in Sintra, with Isabel and another traveler Pietro. Isabel took us to the best restaurant in the area, the food was blissful and I enjoyed conversations we had. More to this, Isabel was very kind to give me a lift to Lisbon. Really, this is one of the warmest places I stayed in my travels.
