Cinco was one of the few (if not the) most pleasant, friendly, and delightful AirBnb accommodations we (my husband and I) have ever stayed at!
It all starts with the beautiful location — it’s the side of the mountain with a spectacular valley view + Sintra’s historic center!
Then it’s the apartment itself — it’s well-stocked and well looked after. There was everything we might have needed for cooking or storing food, essential cosmetics, linen, a washing machine (our savior!), sufficient breakfast, and even two hot water bottles! Although the area is characterized by pretty high humidity, I was deeply impressed by the cleanness and freshness at Cinco!
Finally, we were lucky to have been hosted by Carole. She has decorated a Christmas tree for us (we haven’t had one in years!), left us 12 raisins each to eat at New Year’s Eve, and provided us with probably the best jam in the world :)
On our last day, Carole allowed us to check out a little later, so we could explore Quinta da Regaleira (it was closed during the previous days of our stay), which we are very grateful for.
If you are looking for a peaceful time in a picturesque place with plenty of outdoor activities, Cinco is highly recommended.
P.S. A special thanks goes to two feline youngsters Zachary and Theo for paying us a visit a couple of times :)
