We had a wonderful stay in Sintra at Maria and family’s home. The room was comfortable,clean and cozy. Maria and her family all speak excellent English so communication was easy. Checkin was simple ,we arrived early and were able to park our car next to Maria’s home. The room wasn’t quite ready but Maria told us the market was set up just a 5 min walk away. Maria and her husband gave plenty of Intel on Sintra as they have lived there for 40 years. Only stayed 2 nights but wish we could of stayed 1-2 more.
There home is very well located within walking distance of the Pena Palace and moorish castles. FYI- it is a bit of a challenging hike 30-45 min up. We loved there knowledge and welcoming and wish we could of made this our first stay in Portugal to take advantage of their wisdom. Thanks Maria!
