Ana and Nuno have a fantastic home in the heart of the Sintra region. We travelled with our two kids and our friends from the US joined us with their two kids in tow as well. All in all there were 8 of us and the house accomodated us very comfortably. The swimming pool kept our kids entertained in the mornings (even though it was a bit cold our kids went in everyday!) and the barbeque allowed us to make feasts in the evening. From the house we explored the region, taking day trips to Cascais, Lisbon, and Sintra. We also walked around the village where the house is located and had the chance to witness a local festival honoring the lady of the beach -- it was amazing! I would highly recommend the house for large groups or families who want a comfortable base from which to take in the best of the region. Ana is a great host and took really good care of us!
