Manuela was an amazing host, she welcomed us with open arms, even took us on a guided tour of Sintra when we first arrived - which included her favourite and picturesque spots. She saved us an hour hike up the hillside to one of the castles with her hidden pathway that only took us 10 minutes! Even offered to drive us to Cascais if we wanted to explore another town nearby. The flat is thoughtfully decorated and has all the amenities you would want. Bed is comfortable and the rainfall shower is a great touch. There is even a bus stop right outside the location, if you want a shorter travel time into town. We couldn't have asked for a better stay in this magical city.
