Nice, quaint place and village, in the hilly part of Sintra/Colares area. Most sites in the area about a 10-20 minute drive. We did not meet Jose, who was excellent in communication up to the arrival, but a neighbor, who kindly helped us get in. I'd recommend parking in the town and not by the apartment, as it can be a bit dicey finding parking right by the house or getting in and out of the narrow street. Jose's place has 2 small markets close by (one almost in stone's throw distance), and up the street is a great restaurant, Sisudo. We enjoyed the trip and would return.
