Although we didn't meet in person, Ricardo was an excellent host - very helpful and quick to respond to messages. The windmill was very characterful and a really fun place to stay. The photos give an accurate representation of the property; the decor, fittings and furniture are from another time, but that's all part of the charm.
Other reviews have noted that there are a lot of noisy pet dogs in the neighbourhood. We found this to be true, but I'd say it's typical of this area as a whole, and is obviously beyond the control of the host.
As travellers without a car, we found the windmill well positioned for cycling to the coast or hopping on a bus into Sintra. A great spot for getting away from it all.
