We had a wonderful stay at Gabrielas house, that is situated in a beautiful fairytale garden/forest. We felt welcome right away and loved the company of the wonderful dogs! Gabriela had fresh eggs, oranges, strawberries, bread, cheese and other little things there in the kitchen waiting for us! The apartment has everything you need and the pellet-fueled oven was easy to manage for some extra warmth.
We had an issue with our rental cars tire and Gabriela was a great help translating and supporting us with the repair service! She is always ready to help and chat if you want, but is never intruding! Best host ever :)
We would come back anytime and would love to explore the beautiful Sintra Region and millions of beaches some more. Recommendation: Visit the Convento dos Capuchos - we were there in March and there was almost no one else there. Explore the garden and Forrest.
