Excellent place, whilst there we took the train from Sintra to Lisbon, visited palace da Pena in Sintra and spent a day on the beach in Cascais. We have two small children and they loved the pool, although the weather wasn’t overly warm and the pool was too cold sometimes for my 2 year old. A car is essential, but this was a good place to base ourselves for the ‘Lisbon’ part of the trip.
Gustavo is an excellent host!
