All the positive words already said about Carole and her adorable cottage are true. Carole is a marvelous host—gracious, thoughtful, and genuinely passionate about the town of Sintra and living there! You can tell how much she cares about making your stay enjoyable right off the bat. Her suggestions for things to do and places to eat were on the nose. We only had a short stay in Sintra, but enjoyed ourselves immensely thanks to her advice. BONUS: she also went out of her way to a) help us navigate a potential train strike and figure out how to get to Porto and, more importantly, b) helped us figure out how to watch the Game of Thrones finale!
I don’t have anything negative to say about the cottage. It’s quaint and cute. The view is fantastic.
We only left this morning and I’ve already recommended the cottage to an acquaintance traveling to Sintra in July. I sincerely hope my husband and I are able to cross paths with Carole again in the future.
