Simply Put: The Best Airbnb in Sintra!!
So, I booked accommodation at Teresa and Jorge’s Albustan home at the very last minute because a different Airbnb that I had booked earlier was canceled. Regardless, Teresa and Jorge were very accommodating and hospitable. Also, I honestly think this was a blessing in disguise because my stay at their home was fantastic!
Teresa and Jorge have a lovely home situated is in a peaceful and quiet neighborhood less than 10 mins by car from the city center. My room was very spacious, clean, airy, decorated very tastefully and gets a lot of sunshine. The bed sheets and pillows are of high quality....so soft and cozy.....I literally slept like a baby during my stay.
This accommodation also comes with an amazing breakfast which I didn’t realized. Teresa has a farm/garden area on the property where she grows everything from poultry, persimmon/orchard/citrus/olive trees, fresh herbs and many more. Teresa is an awesome cook and baker and every morning I got delicious eggs and fresh fruits from her farm and very special jams which she made herself. Geez, I ate so well...it was amazing.
Jorge was so helpful and kind.....even though he didn’t have to, he drove me to most of the historic sites and gave me helpful insights and tips on what to do/see in the Sintra area. Also, since we both share a passion for Astronomy, I got a good crash course on the galaxy using his telescope. It was amazing.
I totally enjoyed my stay at Teresa and Jorge’s house....they are the most hospitable and thoughtful Airbnb hosts you’ll ever meet. It literally felt like I was staying with family. I cannot wait to visit again.
This accommodation is totally first class and I highly recommend it. If you really want to get a local and cozy experience in Sintra....then stay here.
Thank you Teresa and Jorge for everything and for making my stay in Sintra a memorable experience. I really appreciate it. Obrigada!
