Such a lovely house. Perfect location gor Sintra - we drove tgere a few times to visit the castles and palaces. Near to a variety of beaches. A 6km loop run from the house in the morning takes in 2 beaches with spectacular views. Ines recommended the perfect sunset spot, which we went to each evening. The house is lovely and i loved sitting reading in the garden surrounded by flowers. Strong wifi (important for teenagers!). Extremely comfortable beds, and very quiet at night. The bedrooms lead off each other, which seems to be a Portuguese thing as our airbnb in Lisbon was the same. So the person at the end has to go through at least one bedroom to get out. This was a bit awkward for our family dynamic but would be fine for others I'm sure. No washing machine but a very close launderette which we used a few times. The showers are great, hot, never ran out of water... very small so takes a bit of getting used to for larger folks! Its an old cottage completely full of character and charm, which has been in the family for years. The place is so full of love, and Ines's passion for the village and house is infectious. We would fully recommend this beautiful place and hope to come back one day. Thank you Ines!!
