I wish I could have stayed in Sintra longer. My stay at The Five House was far too brief as I checked in my luggage, explored for most of the day and got back to the place at around 11 PM, only to check out again at 5 AM. I wish I could have taken advantage of the breakfast or being able to just hang out on the outdoor patio more. I did get the chance to take advantage of Filipe and Vera's other experience which is a 19th century photographic photo shoot. Just a short walk from The Five House, I got to know Filipe and Vera not only as kind and accommodating hosts but also as passionate subject matter experts of collodion photography and Sintra history. That's another experience though. The Five House was stylish and warm. You stay in a small attic with several small beds. The ceiling is low, but being 5'5" I had no complaints. Just a really lovely place that reflects the spirit and magic of Sintra.
