What a special experience at Diogo’s magical cottage in the woods! Sun shining, ocean mist, birds chirping, green fields—the setting is utterly charming and nourishing for the soul. The house is well decorated and has everything you need for a comfortable stay in Sintra. We saw all the main sights in the area, and visited the beaches several times because they were so close. We debated between staying in Sintra’s main town and were glad that we opted for the quieter charm and ocean views of the cottage. I’d recommend bringing a few groceries/snacks as once you’re at the house, you won’t want to leave. The property is up a dirt road with some potholes but once you make the first drive, you’ll feel like a local. Check in and out was very easy and Diogo was quick to respond to communication. We stayed 4 nights and it wasn’t long enough- we could’ve easily stayed a week or a month!
