Daniel and his mother were absolutely lovely and incredibly helpful. We loved our stay here in Sintra. The home is adjacent to the main home and looks just like the photos- everything is beautiful, well designed and extremely comfortable. Three friends from Chicago stayed here. The airbnb is literally across the street from the Chalet of the Countess d'Elda. You can access Pena Palace from there (and you can see Pena Palace from the gate of the Airbnb!)
A few tips for staying here:
-we literally walked to Pena palace from the gate of our Airbnb. It could not be a better location for seeing that. It's beautiful
-the drive here from Sintra is (very) hilly (and tons of tourists everywhere). Us chicago ladies were not prepared for the steep winding roads while driving.
-the airbnb is stunning and lush and gorgeous, but not too close to town. We did take an uber to and from dinner in town (so you don't have to worry about driving at night)
-grab some snacks and waters (and wine) before coming up here, so you don't have to drive back to town
We would absolutely stay here again, it is the perfect place to find peace and quiet (there's a pool on the grounds). I would stay here for several days, and bring provisions! Thank you, David!
