The Five House was a fabulous place to call home for a few days! Sintra has so much history & beautiful architecture to see and especially if you enjoying hiking around the mountain top estates and palace grounds. It is definitely worth visiting for a couple days!
THIS place is perfect for solo travelers but also I'm considering bringing back a whole group of friends next year. Although there are shared rooms like a hostel , this is definitely not a hostel type place! It's a peaceful refuge, with interior decor touches that are outstanding and the spaces are more like your own 'home' : beautifully decorated, well thought out amenities for your use, and extremely clean throughout!! The location is peaceful with a lovely view across the basin to the historic center and off the main path just 3 minute walk from train station . The hosts were lovely and attentive to all my needs and questions!! Definitely will stay here again!!
