If you're staying in Sintra, this IS THE PLACE to stay!
Rui is a fabulous host. From the time of booking, he helped us get orient to Sintra, how to check in, how to get there, what to expect, etc. He's clearly a champion of Sintra!
The apartment itself is beautiful and just right for two people. Everything is clean and modern with all the latest appliances. The separation of bedroom from living room / kitchen gave us a feeling of openness.
Rui has a fabulous community around him. The neighbouring Taverne has fabulous espressos and food. And Nidia (who manages it) is a complete gem. On a day when we got soaking wet in the rain, she arranged some night hot soup.
Everyday Rui would check in with us to be sure we were having a good time and facing no issues. He answered all our questions, directed us to the best spots in Sintra and ensured our visit was fabulous.
A home away from home ... and a family away from family. We wouldn't stay anywhere els
