Location and environment
Sintra has always been considered mystical by the many cultures that passed and lived here. Its many palaces and parks transport us to a dimension where it is easy to connect with the beauty of Nature and this world of ours.
Being right by the coast with expansive views of the ocean may offer the opportunity to disconnect from technology and the distractions of daily life, which can be beneficial for helping to clear the mind and cultivate a sense of inner peace.
