It was such a great time staying at Maria's place. We did stop between our travel from Lisbon to Porto and it was a perfect place to find some calm and relaxing time in a little paradise. Maria's house is very good located to explore the whole area in Sintra-Cascais nationalpark. If you have a car you can explore very beautiful places and beaches around. Maria also gave us great tipps to find the best fish restaurants. We really enjoyed staying with her. It was a nice "holiday from holiday" ;)
