We loved our stay with Izumi and Francis. Lovely, kind and helpful and the space they provide is cozy and beautiful and just off the hectic main road of Sintra but a very short walk to just about everything you might want to explore. There were some loud Americans [we're American too haha!] one night in a hotel a couple of streets away that we could have done without but just close the window shutters and most of the noise disappears. We didn't have a lot of time to spend in the garden but we appreciated the opportunity to share this lovely space. Izumi gave us a couple of great restaurant recommendations and was happy to answer any of our questions. Thank you for helping make a wonderful visit.
