Accomodation is private and quiet, well thought through and smartly done; it is ideal for a couple. There are some local restaurants and shops within a few hundred metres. Central Sintra and all the sights are within walking distance, albeit you will most probably want a taxi if you have luggage on arrival and departure. Joana was attentive, without being intrusive, and communications were quick and easy. An excellent base for our stay (we used uber and public transport) which included day trips to Lisbon and the coast.
