We had such a lovely time in this magical little house! We were welcomed and shown around by Chrystalina's friend Elgitha, who was really lovely and accomodating. We also got to meet Chrystalina at the end of our stay, who was really friendly and lovely. And of course we got to hang out with her cute kitty Kashmir and other friendly members of the local cat crew.
The house is really cosy, and perfect for two. It has a simple, rural feel and a lovely view onto the garden, vegetable patches and the hills surrounding the property. It's on a quiet road just off the centre of a small village. We rented a car and it was really handy to be able to park it within the gated garden just in front of the house.
As the house itself goes: we had no problem cooking meals every night, slept really comfortably and had warm showers with good water pressure. As mentioned above it is rural and simple, but does the job and feels really cosy and lovely to be in. We were welcomed to help ourselves to any vegetables from the surrounding garden, and felt really at home.
It's a great spot to explore Sintra, the nearby coast with its stunning beaches and Lisbon (I can't speak for public transport as we drove to these places - although there is a bus station really close by in the centre of the garden).
We had a great time here and I would definitely go back, and wholeheartedly recommend this place to whoever is into a cosy and genuine experience away from home.
