I had a lovely stay at Ines and Bruno's place. I could really feel the love there in the family, it was nice to be around that.
The room was spacious and clean and the bed comfy. I wondered if I might oversleep as it's so quiet and peaceful (birds singing outside etc) but I heard babbles of little Eric around 7.30-45 which gently woke me up, so no need to set an alarm (bonus). Little Eric is really cute and showed me some of his toys while I was having my morning cup of tea.
I frequented a restaurant/bakery called A Mourisca that's on the main road (and got a little addicted to the cakes), I had the best Bacalhau à Bras I've had in Portugal there (with garlic, onion, and herbs, it was so yum). Really reasonable price too at €13.
Bruno and Ine's place is also close to the moorish castle too so you can walk there in 30-40 mins, I did that around 3.30pm.
It's a leisurely 30 mins to walk to the train/bus station area (e.g. If you want to go out of Sintra for a day trip or when first arriving). So I walked it but at other times relied on the 433 bus for €1.10. The main Vila verde is only 15-20 mins though.
I liked that this place was far away from the (madding) crowd. It was very peaceful!
Really lovely stay and I felt very welcome! Thanks to you three for having me xx
