Barbro hosts a lovely little cottage very close to Sintra. She had a really good guidebook with suggestions for dining, shopping and attractions, but she also told us about her favorite little local restaurant treasure where she called and got us a table. It was perfect after a long day of travel, and we enjoyed walking there while looking over the views of Sintra.
The cottage is nicely decorated inside, and the garden is very tranquil. We truly enjoyed our stay in Sintra.
