Pedro was a wonderful host. He was quick to communicate when needed and was also incredibly patient when we got lost getting to the apartment. His welcome gift of local “produce” was very appreciated.
The location could not be better for exploring Sintra. It is on a side street with not motor traffic. Parking could be a challenge but not that difficult. It is an easy walk to the apartment from the available parking.
There are two levels of stairs which are well lit. You do have to navigate the stairs to use the bathroom at night.
The kitchen is simple but has all that you need.
The bathroom is clean and does have a towel warmer. The shower is both hand held and also has a horizontal spray at three levels.
The restaurant Villa 6 is downstairs. It is a wonderful place for a meal or an after dinner drink. The employees and manager were quick to tell us to let them know if we needed it quiet. However, they were only there with customers from 6-10, then all got quickly quiet.
You are only a few hundred yards from the national palace and bus stops for all the other local amenities and restaurants.
We did have the best meal ever at Tasha de Xico. Don’t miss this place as well as Villa Bacalau for great local seafood tapas.
My only regret was not staying longer! We will be back to explore more of Sintra and Pedro’s hospitality.
