My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed staying in the Red Umbrella Room at Five House! When we arrived, there was a bottle of fortified wine waiting for us to celebrate our honeymoon! Felipe was quick to check us in and provided a couple of options for dinner nearby, directions for the next days for excursions and general tips! Breakfast the. Ext morning was great- lots of choices, coffee, orange juice. The Five House is easy walking distance to the main train/bus depot in Sintra, so if you're coming by train, don't worry-- it's about a 5-10 minute walk! If you are arriving by car, I would leave it parked at Five House and the walk or take the bus everywhere. Driving up to the palaces was kind of crazy-- lots of narrow, one way streets and it takes twice as long to get back to Five House due to the one way streets!
Vera and Felipe were fantastic and I would recommend their House or any of the properties they manage!
