This is a wonderful little oasis in the midst of busy historic Sintra, where there is so much to see and excellent restaurants and nightlife. Just a 2 minute walk from the bustling centre takes you to their apartment in the back streets where neighbours are considerate and we had very good peaceful sleep. The garden is beautifully tended and cared for with 2 separate seating areas that offer some privacy for those staying in each flat; the views from the garden are gorgeous. Izumi is a great communicator and an excellent host and when I sprained my ankle she was kind enough to take me to the hospital for an x-ray and to have phoned them in advance to book an appointment. The transfer service from and to the airport (Bruno) is well co-ordinated through Izumi and it is well worth considering as it is a fixed price fare. The hospitality as mentioned by other visitors was very welcoming with wine, biscuits, coffee, water and some provisions supplied on arrival. We would most definitely recommend this accommodation to others as this place has real artistic sensibility and is very well managed.
