Nic's apartment is spacious with a stunning view of the Sintra castle. We were within walking distance of some great walks above the coast with access to a staircase down to Praia Grande beach. Nic had excellent recommendations for local beaches, food and surf spots in the area. There is truly fantastic cycling nearby, both for mountain bikes and road bikes. On the weekends there is a great market with fruits, veg, clothes, handicrafts, etc. We adored our stay here and would recommend it to anyone.
