Both Burghard and his wife were very welcoming. Burghard responded to all of our inquiries promptly. He made sure that we had a space to park our car. There was a bottle of Porto on the table for us. He gave us good information about the city. His place is very well situated, a few minutes walk from the center of town and the Palacio National. We loved our stay in Sintra, and recommend Burghard's place highly.
