The house is lovely and very charming, and has everything required for a perfect holiday. We were greeted with great hospitality and also looked after during the stay. Especially the outdoor kitchen and barbecue area is great, even though we would have appreciated a little shelter from the wind at the dining area. The pool was very nice, and the view is fantastic. There is nothing special about the surrounding area so a car is highly recommended. Driving time to Sintra and downtown Lisbon is around 20 and 30 min. respectively. Highly recommended.
