This is a great place from which to explore Sintra. The bus stop for the bus to the castle and palace is a 5 minute walk, and it's close to all the restaurants and shops in the area, while still being tucked away on a side street. Maria was there to welcome us as soon as we arrived, providing us with a map and local info and even allowing us to check in early. The "casa" is clean, spacious and exactly as pictured. Had such a nice stay here in Sintra!
