Gabriela's lovely farm and orchard made our Portugal stay even better! She was so warm and friendly and welcoming, she even provided us with some complimentary groceries upon arrival, including farm-fresh eggs from her own chickens. The view was fantastic, and everything we wanted to see was so close by! Even her dogs were super friendly and welcoming, and that's saying something, because I'm not really a dog person... :) Gabriela made everything right for us during our stay with her, and we will definitely be staying with her again if we go back to Portugal.

Host Gabriela was wonderful. She even had fresh cheese, ham and eggs ready for us for breakfast the next day. Property exterior is just to my liking. Very wooded. Interior is clean and traditional. Definitely had a olden day home feel to it. Place is ideal for 4 but we were a group of 6 so with just one washroom we found it challenging. Fairly close to major attractions in Sintra. We preferred this location as it is away from the hustle and bustle of the city and situated on the mountain. For the price we paid, it was decent.

Gabriela is a wonderful host. She welcomed us with her very sweet and friendly dogs and walked us through the home. She was very accommodating, leaving us a welcome package with snacks and wine and gave us suggestions for attractions and restaurants. We were lucky to visit in June when her garden was blooming, it is a very beautiful property. We were able to park on the property which was very convenient.Sintra is beautiful and we highly recommend exploring the gardens and caves of Quinta de Regaleira especially if you have children. We Ubered as there is such limited street parking and one way roads.Also, nearby the rental is Moinho Dom Quixote, a kid friendly restaurant with an amazing terrace and views of the Atlantic.
