If you go to Sintra , I think that is no place like Silvia’s place , that you feel in your own home , very clean , comfort , privacy , also you can find every thing in the kitchen , The home is about just 2 min. by walking from portela Sintra train station , also you can walk about 20 min. to reach old city and buses to mountain , The main thing that you must choose Silvia’s home is Silvia herself , she is very kind , friendly , she gives you many advices to where you eat , where you go and how , and she writes every thing to you , she speaks English very good and if I decide to come back to Sintra , I must choose Silvia’s home .
