Above and beyond! I usually travel on a budget and once in awhile I treat myself and if you can, you must!
The location is perfect! 3 mins walk to bus and train yet quiet! The interior is sparkling but not only because it's clean but because of the design and the attention and thought of each detail. I did not get to meet Daniel but he responded promptly and would love to one day meet in person as if I come to Sintra again, I will for sure stay here. Helen is lovely, helpful, hospitable and very gentle soul! She is the caretaker of the house. I am lactovegetarian and they went out of their way to acommodate me and asked me specifically what I can and can not eat.
I was also graciously allowed to check i earlier as my room was ready and I needed to drop off my bag before I head to Pena palace. I mean, I really don't know what to say: if you are thinking about it - just do it! It is a 5star experience and I have to tell you every penny is worth it. I have been in more expensive hotels with worse service and environment! It is a total gem and since Sintra for me is the Pearl of Portugal, I would call this place my Airbnb pearl! Loved every second of it and can't compliment the details and the design and the theoughtfulness enough. Lovely, exellent, beautiful, charming, romantic, quiet, clean. Three thumbs up if I could!:)
