Cute little apartment at a train station that is quite unique in this fairytale town of Sintra. Close to busses, tours, the train, taxis, some wonderful restaurants (we liked the Chinese across the street) and cafes. It is a short walk (10min)to city center where the national Palace of Sintra is located with lots of food options and lovely winding streets and alleyways full of shops. There is lots to see and do and be careful which signs you follow, you could be going on a 1.5km hike up a million stairs to the Morrish Castle… 😉. Tip take a bus or tuk tuk.. it’s a lot less work.
This Apt was a little chilly for end of Feb, but Luis and Alberto provided nice warm cozy blankets and brought an extra heater for us, when asked. They were very quick to respond to any questions or concerns we had.
Although just steps from street, there are approx 15 steps from entrance to 2nd floor, which could be a struggle for people with mobility issues, but for us, it just added to the character.
There is some train noise (to be expected with a stay at a train station) but was of a low tone and did not bother us any more than normal traffic. And….there are no trains between 1am and 5am.
Alberto and Luis also have a tour company based out of Cascais and offer bike rentals and tours. We highly recommend checking out Cascais and going for a bike ride on bike path along the ocean. It is beautiful!
