A cozy place in a beautiful location. Minutes from historical landmarks of Sintra. The house is in a quiet place while at he same time it's a short walk to the city centre (a longer short walk back up the hill, but still). You can hear birds chirping outside. Also the place is very clean. Also it's like a museum of art and books. Combined with Sintra's cultural heritage it is a definitely an inspiring place to stay. We were not allowed to cook though. That did not make a big issue for us, but might for some. The place is also quite up the hill, so if you're not coming by car it might be exhausting some times.
