The house is lovely, surrounded by nature and has an excellent location, if one wishes to visit Sintra. There is a good basic supply of pots and pans, as well as a barbeque on the patio. There are good restaurants in Azenhas do Mar which can be reached on foot. The pool is small but fine for two pre-teens spending most of their days in the water. Communication with Jennifer is very easy , she is welcoming, informative and replies to messages immediately. We are happy we chose this house for our vacation!
