Our stay with Maria and her sons was perfect. Maria is very nice and welcoming person. The little annex in her beautifull garden was very peacefull. You do need some kind of personal tranportation. We rented a scooter and that was perfect to go to Sintra, Cascais, Guincho beach, Cabo do Roca, a Draga beach and lots of other beautyfull places.
We went surfing a few times with the 2 sons of Maria. Very nice guys, who guided us trough our stay in Portugal. The surfschool Moby Dick is a great place to learn surfing and have fun.
We enjoyed everything while staying there. Perfect!
