Alexandra's house is beautiful and incredibly unique - it's worth seeing for the architecture alone. With a lovely outdoor nook and four separate sleeping spaces, there's plenty of room for a family or a group of friends. Alexandra herself is welcoming; she speaks several languages and put out a few things for my toddler to play with, which was much appreciated after a long drive! She gave us good tips on places to go for food and sites to visit. The location is great, you just walk across the road and you're in the old part of Sintra. There's a nice little local pastry shop down the street, perfect for breakfast or snack. Parking is not hard to find, though you do need to be good at squeezing into tight spaces. Overall a wonderful experience and we'd highly recommend staying here.
