The garden is charming and beautiful. If you want to escape between all the sights in the area and just enjoy the peace and quiet, it is a wonderful place. The house is clean and has all the necessary facilities. It is cleaned once a week. A special treat was the fresh vegetables from the garden, which we always got from the gardener or Mónica's very friendly parents. Two good typical Portuguese cafes are within walking distance, as well as two supermarkets. A bus takes you quickly and comfortably to Sintra, although for the beaches you need a car or have to hike a bit. For friends of hiking, it offers a good starting point. We enjoyed staying there to the fullest and will come back again.
