This is a wonderful place to stay, we were pleasantly surprised with the host , house and swimmingpool. The cottage is very homely , modern and tastefully decorated. It is in a quiet , beautiful part of Sintra , away from the very busy parts . We enjoyed the walking but if you dont like a moderate steep hill, then come by car. Carlos is a very good host and makes you feel welcome. The 5 dogs are seperated from the cottage and are no problem and seemed to be very friendly.
I will recommend this cottage to friends as we think it is a real gem to find. Close to Lisbon and the beautiful coast [praia de grande was a particular beautiful beach] and the fairytale surroundings of Sintra, you kind of have it all !

Thank you Carlos for making our stay so pleasant in Sintra!
