9.3"Beautiful, unique property with dedicated parking"
It was such a unique property! We really enjoyed everything about it. The location was good and it was great - even imperative - to have a dedicated parking spot in Sintra. Breakfast was provided at a nearby cafe, although there was also a coffee maker (a necessity for me) and pods in the full kitchen.
More hooks and/or shelves in the bathroom.

Beautiful property with very comfortable beds! The pool was a great asset as well. Sara was very helpful with recommendations which we found very useful. We were also given tokens to use at the cafe round the corner for breakfast each morning. The food and service, was excellent. Location perfect for wandering into the centre of Sintra and at night you can see the castle lit up from the terrace.
The peacocks which are beautiful can be a little noisy early morning.
