Célia’s place is located near the village’s church, and it is close to some good markets and cafes. Magoito beach is nice and close, about 1 mile from the house - we went there multiple times by car, but walking is possible although too close to traffic sometimes. Samarra beach is also interesting, but walking there requires moving through some rough terrain, not difficult but complicated if old or with some disabilities. Ericeira is close, very nice restaurants, and the farmers market on Sunday mornings on its way, in São João das Lampas is worth visiting for crafts and fresh fruits and vegetables.
The house is on the small side, but a couple can feel comfortable there without kids. Bathroom is a little challenging in terms of shower, for people not used to “polyban” with curtains, but we adjusted to it. GPS to drive around is a must, as the region is hilly and takes sometime to get familiar with the routes. We expended two weeks there, visiting all famous Sintra palaces, the Azenhas do Mar, Mafra, Cabo da Roca, etc. Célia’s place was a great place to base all our visits from, and Célia was a great host!
