Sintra is one of the most beautiful and mysterious places on earth, and to stay at Carole's place enhances the experience. The view is wonderful, the cottage very charming, we appreciated litle details such as the leaves and branches painted on the wall of the living room, the minuscule sculpted fairy standing on a rock in our private terrace, the beautiful arch leading to the garden. Everything is spotless in the cottage, and Carole and Stuart are very nice and helpful with anything you may need. don't miss the chance to stay there a few days if you can.
