Bonsai Family Residence

We were looking for a place to stay near Sintra for a few days summer break and this was one of the few available at an affordable price, so we booked it but did not expect too much. How wrong we were and I cannot imagine finding anywhere nearly so good. Being partly disabled, it was great having parking by the gate and only about 12 metres from the ground floor apartment. The owner, Marco, was very kind and ultra helpful, keeping us well supplied with a good range of breakfast food, tea, coffee, milk and juice. Not only that, but there were also always a couple of bottles of wine on hand! The apartment, or I should really say, house, is spacious and comfortable, with beds for three in the upstairs bedroom, a well fitted kitchen, a bathroom that was well supplied with toiletries and plenty of fresh towels and a comfortable living room with TV. There is WiFi everywhere, even in the lovely tranquil garden, with its ponds of giant colourful fish and of course, plentiful Bonsai trees. The "smokers" gazebo is such a comfortable spot, that even non-smokers like me found it a delightful place to relax and let the world go by! Thank you Marco and hopefully we will be back.
