This is a gem of a place that puts you just out of the main tourist area of Sintra. From the moment we met our host Lisa, we felt welcomed. If you want an authentic dining experience, listen to Lisa's suggestions. We dined at Dom Pipas 3 times during a one week stay! Being able to walk to sites or just hang out at the apartment made us feel like locals. There is only one issue you should be aware of - barking neighborhood dog(s). Fortunately, it was not at night. Even so, we would definitely stay here again.
