This is a lovely, well equipped place in a nice quiet garden setting. I am an avid walker, but this is a car only place. The bus is great when it comes, which, despite a wonderful schedule, isn't regularly. Strange, since the metro and the train were very punctual. Sintra is beautiful beyond words and well worth the travel. For people that like quiet, but don't like to use a car, closer in is better. For others, Manuela's place may be a good option.
