Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
We loved the Storytellers Villas. The location in Sintra was perfect for us, with the bus stop right across the plaza. Our villa had 2 rooms and 1 bathroom with plenty of hot water for washing dishes and showering at the same time. The beds were firm but not uncomfortable with plenty of pillows and extra blankets. The floors were wood with floor runners. The son of the owner was very friendly and knowledgeable about the area. The house keeper had breakfast, continental, ready between 8:30 and 8:45 daily. Our rooms were very clean and always made up when we arrived back from excursions. I would definitely recommend this establishment.
