As other reviewers mentioned, and I'll add as well, Beatriz and her mom are the greatest hosts we have encountered on our three week Spain/Portugal trip with my family (wife and kids ages 6 and 9). Beatriz went above and beyond when after two failed taxi attempts to take us to train station (on our departure), she personally took us there. I cannot thank her enough for this.

Beatriz was a great communicator...her English is exceptional. She responded fast to all my text messages and it was nice that her mom and her lived in the main house just a few steps from the cottage.

The Cottage is centrally located and was great for my family (we stayed 3 nights). The layout of the floor plan was spacious and we never felt cramped. All household amenities required were there. There were even brochures for all of Sintra attractions in living room desk to help us prepare for our days there. I will have to concur with one reviewer on the mustiness of the cottage though (especially if you suffer from allergies). Other than that, it is the perfect place to stay in Sintra!
