Burghard and his wife Maria made us feel very welcome and were contactable whenever we should need them. Their lovely apartment is exactly as described and I have quite a few photos of my own of the lovely view out of the window! The apartment is literally a 3 minute walk from the heart of Sintra but feels like you are a world away, it is so peaceful. The apartment was spotlessly clean and a cool and quiet place to relax after a day's walking. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend.
