A Capela - A Essência de Sintra
Av. Barão Almeida Santos No. 3, 2710-525 Sintra, Portugal – Excellent location – show map
Gorgeous place to stay. Filipe met us with the keys late at night after our flight as delayed, and showed us round the property. Then every morning he or his wife brought us a breakfast in a picnic basket. They left it outside the door and texted us that it was there. I would retrieve it and my wife and I would have breakfast in bed with the delights they brought. It was delicious and also quite romantic! Sintra itself was fascinating. We were only there for a week and realised you'd need to be there longer to do it justice. If you're feeling fit and energetic, the walk up to the castle and the Palacio de Pena is great - but it is a challenge! The Quinta da Regaleira was fascinating - don't miss that.
