Rosa was an excellent host and her cottage was a wonderful place to tour the Sintra and beach area from. Area attractions are an easy walk away as well as groceries and bars. The air conditioning was helpful for the first two days and then the weather cooled off. We were traveling with our dog and Rosa could not have been more accommodating and supportive with her. The cottage is very functional and the private outdoor areas were more than ample. Driving in the area was easy and the off street parking was wonderful. Rosa suggested a number of restaurants in the area and all of them that we tried were excellent. We would highly recommend this place to anyone!
