Joana's place is super central to the historic area of Sintra. We walked to the train station &just beyond, for the restaurants & some shopping in the local area. We secured a tuk-tuk for just 5E/per person to transport us to see Pena Palace & then walked to the Mourish castle. We were only at Joana's for a short time, so could not fully appreciate everything her location & home had to offer. The rooms were warm (radiators) & the beds were comfortable. There was lots of linen, in case you needed extra blankets. We were able to park the car on the street, & walk almost everywhere. The tuk tuk experience was a highlight for my children. Pastelaria Gregory is just around the corner from her place (behind the gas station) so a great spot for quick morning coffee & pastel de nata before continuing with the exploration. The little garden was beautiful & it felt like a secret hideaway.
