Do not hesitate to book! If you are lucky enough to find this home available, you will be forever grateful that you stayed here and it will likely be the the highlight of your stay in Portugal. This home is the perfect combination of location, atmosphere, and comfort.
Lisa is an exceptional host, one that every AirBnB owner should strive to emulate. From the moment that she greeted us with a smile and a hug, we knew that we had made a great selection. She is warm, responsive, and has thoughtfully appointed the home with everything that you may need.
Now to the wonderful home....wow. Up a beautiful winding staircase, our home was located on the 3rd floor. The apartment has been wonderfully updated although the house is from the early 1900's. The apartment has a room with a double bed, along with another bedroom with a twin bed. Original wood floors, a heater in two rooms, towel warmer, new windows, and all new appliances. The home was immaculately clean!
Now the location... you cannot imagine a better spot in Sintra! We seriously were amazed that we had found such a gem. On a clear day, you can see the Moorish Castle, Pena Palace, and the Sintra coastline from the living room windows. Let me not overlook the location itself that has a large yard, lovely garden, and is easily within walking distance to downtown Sintra. We also walked back to the house from the Moorish Castle! Yup, it was a hike and not for anyone with mobility issues, but gorgeous and so worth it. If you make it to the top of the Moorish Castle, be on the lookout for Lisa's lovely pink home that is visible from the top of the castle.
This home is an absolute gem!
