Patricia welcomed the four of us in a very friendly manner. She was a most gracious host, providing a bowl full of fruit, ham & cheese for a lunch, and juice, coffee, tea. Each morning she delivered a fresh loaf of delicious bakery bread. She also gave us brochures of all the Sintra highlights and recommended several restaurants that were excellent. All of the time she respected our privacy. Her house was modern and clean and had all of the amenities, including a TV with several English speaking channels. The bedroom was very comfortable, the bathroom was fully functional and our two teenaged daughters slept on an Ikea futon which was fine. All in all, a wonderful host and excellent place to stay while we enjoyed Sintra, Fatima and Lisbon. Thank you Patricia for helping to make our visit to Portugal a memorable and enjoyable experience.
