We stayed for 9 days. The home was perfect. It was very quiet and has a beautiful view, just like the photos. Ana was a delight! I'm so glad we chose this home, and we wish we could have stayed longer.

The property manager Diogo was so sweet and welcoming and had a huge bowl of fruit, bread, wine and coffee for us at self check in.
Of all our travels we have never stayed at such a safe, tranquil, peaceful property.
Not a sound but birds and the sweet smell of lemon blossoms and jasmine.
The house is warm, sunny and opens up to the most incredible valley view of Sintra to the far sea.
It will make you cry as will Portugal.
Thank you Jonathan,Ana and Diogo we will be back for a longer stay one day!

The host of this home are lovely as is the home.
A magical location close to all the sites in Sintra but also convenient to the beach. Highly recommend.

All as advertised. So nice just sitting on the patio watching the sunset. If you’re lucky, you’ll meet Scott ( the dog). 😀 Diogo and Ana are so nice and very helpful. Couldn’t be better.
