Two hours flight from most European cities and seven from New York, the house is reached by car from Lisbon Airport in 40 minutes.
A car is not essential for this holiday as there are buses taking you to Sintra (every 15 minutes) in one direction and Cascais (every hour) in the other.
The beautifully restored tram will take you to either Sintra or Praia das Macas beach and is an attraction in itself.
If you want to fully explore the area we do recommend a car however as many attractions are only accessible by car.
