In the Middle of the Historic Town
“Wow!” What can we say, we had a wonderful experience in this quaint apartment right in the middle of the Old Historic Unesco Centre. We were met by Miguel on arrival and he assisted us getting to the apartment as no vehicles are allowed in the Historic Centre. Miguel spent a fair amount of time explaining the ins and outs of the apartment and reviewed the many things to see and do in Sintra and surrounding area. We were provided a bottle of lovely Portuguese red wine and scrumptious cookies to enjoy during our stay. The apartment was located in a very busy part of the town with lots to see and do; it was noisy during the day, however, after 5:00 pm all was very quiet as the visiting day tourists from Lisbon and other areas all departed. The apartment was very comfortable, clean and well maintained, with many funky art pieces to enjoy and books on the area to enjoy.
It was an easy walk to the main part of the town to explore and partake in the many restaurants, and the bus service was excellent to get around to the many local historic sites, Pena Palace, Moorish Castle, Quinta da Regaleira, etc. and the town of Praia das Macao on the Atlantic coast to have lunch over looking the ocean; take the bus there, however return on the Sintra tram (Electrico de Sintra), well worth the experience.
Our hosts Miguel and Sonia were wonderful and followed up during our four night stay to ensure we were not having any problems, and to answer any questions we may have had, and to bring more “cookies”.
Without any reservations, we highly recommend the apartment for a stay in Sintra.
