Rita’s lovely home is up the hillside, perfectly situated to visit the key attractions in Sintra. I fact, there is a walking path up to Pena Palace directly across from the apartment. But because it is up the hill, be prepared to walk into the city to dine and explore - and back up the hill, as well.
The apartment itself is lovely, well decorated and much roomier and nicer than it looks in the photos. The bedroom is a nice size, with plenty of storage so you can put your travel items neatly away. My only regret is that the weather didn’t allow us to breakfast out on the patio.
Rita is the perfect host, trying hard to accommodate our changing times of arrival. She provided excellent dining suggestions, as well. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this beautiful abode - perfect for traveling couples.
