I can’t sing the praises of Elisabete and this beautiful apartment in Sintra loudly or well enough to reflect how wonderful the experience was for my friend and I.
*The Apartment*
Even better than the photos made it seem. The luxurious beds are right of out a magazine. The large balcony overlooking the trains and cars going by is wonderful. Listen to the sounds of the city with the doors open, or close them for complete peace and a stunning view.
All the rooms are bright and airy and the apartment layout was perfect for my friend and I to have our own space and privacy, but also enjoy each other's company. The bathroom suite is expansive and the shower was hot and powerful, just like I like it!
This was a perfect base from which to explore Sintra. The station is a comfortable 10 or so min walk, even for me and all my bags in the summer heat it was fine. Amenities and restaurants are literally a stone's throw away. A great location in the city for a couple of friends or a group.
*The Host Elisabete*
Elisabete was an incredible host and was nothing but helpful and supportive before and during our stay! From offering tour and city advice, to checking in with us on arrival, to supporting us with check-out queries.
There was even a bottle of wine waiting for us on arrival! Now, I’ve stayed in a lot of places and this doesn’t happen often. An incredibly generous and classy touch that set off our stay beautifully. Not to mention it was delicious!
*The Stay*
I had a wonderful weekend in this unique city in an apartment that truly felt like a home from home. I hope to return to Sintra again for longer, and when I do, I will without a doubt be staying right in this apartment if it’s available! 10 out of 10 - would recommend.
Thank you Elisabete for the stay!
