Rui's house is stylish and spacious with a lovely garden. It's in a great location with the centre of Sintra very accessible but away from the crowds, so it's very peaceful and the view of Pena palace is breathtaking. The shop just across the road was well stocked with fresh meat, fruit, vegetables and bread and the local restaurants, all within walking distance, are of a very good standard. Communication with Rui was easy and he and his mother were at the property to greet us on our arrival. A great place to stay and explore Sintra and chill out.
