Filipe and Vera were lovely hosts. They offered bright, enthusiastic recommendations for different spots in Sintra and even generously offered up the history for any places of interest (we had a lot of questions). Vera made a delicious cake for breakfast and served it warm out of the oven with Greek yogurt icing (which I will be using on sweets back home in the states -- so good!). Make sure you ask them about the significance of the names behind the Five House and the Red Umbrella Room. I highly recommend them as hosts for anyone thinking about staying in Sintra!
