Jane and her son Francis made us feel so welcome. It is a beautiful spot with dramatic views over the valley below and surrounding by woodlands with some nice trails - good for running. It's only a 30 min drive to Sintra and the beaches at Caiscais and Guincho and 1 hour from Lisbon. The Moorish Castle at Sintra and the gardens (with underground passages) at Quinta da Regaleira were spectacular. The apartment itself is tastefully done, with a lovely big main room giving a great sense of space. It's equipped with everything you need. The kids enjoyed the pool although it was a pretty chilly at this time of year (October). All in all a fantastic place - hopefully we can make it back sometime!
