Description
Hello, we are a family living in a community style with other people from all over the world. We live 5 minutes from the Atlantic Ocean with several beaches within a 15-minute walk. We are also 5 minutes walking from the forest and right next to the Sintra mountain or Moon Mountain. It's a very magical area with beautiful people.
We're vegetarians and this place is free of tobacco, alcohol and other drugs.
Thank you for your attention and best wishes,
Joana
