Sintra is such a beautiful place, and Cristina place is special, you can actually get a feeling of what it would be to live in Sintra, away from the tourist area. At night, you can clearly see the castle of Pena from Cristina's back yard and with a full moon behind it, it is quite a spectacular view. The house is cozy and cute, all amenities you need for a very nice, comfortable stay. There is a small local convenient store a few steps away where you can get local ham-chorizo, bread and a few things you need. My only regret was not spending more time... this was my second visit to Sintra and it is definately a place to spend days, and Cristina's place is perfect for it. Thank you Cristina !
