Great location. Perfect for exploring Sintra Spacious old house on one level with nice garden. Well equipped kitchen. Excellent location, with key tourist places within walking distance. Despite this, it was incredibly quiet. Excellent communication from the people managing the property. No dedicated parking. We were lucky to get a space in the adjacent church car park, but I imagine parking could be difficult in this busy area as the street is quite narrow in places.
