This is the place you want to stay if you are planning on a beach vacation! Maria has everything you need in the house to relax and enjoy your stay. Immaculately clean, spacious and well stocked kitchen and bath. Maria has thought of everything. We took the tram or bus into Sintra and then Uber back most of the time. Get into Sintra early to avoid the crowds and then go back to the beach for a leisurely afternoon/dinner. We found the people of Praia das Macas to be so friendly and helpful. Mercado has fresh fish and produce each morning which made it super fun and easy to cook some dinners at home. Plenty of restaurants nearby. Nortada was amazing! The Beach was perfect too although Atlantic water is cold. Maria is definitely a super host!
