For us it was a perfect holiday combination
“We have enjoyed our stay in Casa do Limoeiro very much. The house is definitely a gorgeous cottage full of character. The garden with two plum trees, a blue and a yellow – plus a lemon tree was naturally a great pleasure for the eye and the stomach. The house is very clean and comfortable and no noise disturbed us. We really relaxed reading and drinking too much coffee in the little paradise garden. As you can read about Sintra it is indeed a fantastic town, very beautiful landscape and architecture. Parque da Pena really impressed us, and we took a lot of pictures of trees, bushes and flowers. The rear walk up to Pena Palace is also a nice experience, good exercise. It is easy and nice to stay in Sintra, we enjoyed buying all the good food – meet, fruit, vegetables, cakes, bread… all better and cheaper than in Denmark. Normally our son does not like chicken, but different with the Portuguese grilled chicken. So whether we were eating out or at home, it was a pleasure. For us it was a perfect holiday combination: One busy week in Lisbon and one peaceful week in Sintra. Jakob, Per & Kate”

We (Dad, mum and our two adult sons) were keen to have a break “living” in a place for a while. Making this a two centre holiday was particularly good as the rest of the family are more beach bums and I’m a culture vulture. So half of the holiday at Praia das Maçãs and half in Sintra worked well within the context of the national park.
