Overall the holiday was excellent. The Lisbon city tour would be better done in two separate days to do it justice. Sintra again needed more time to take in all the sights.
Hotel Do Castelo was a personal highlight - free port in our rooms, free champagne, coffee, tea, and pastries every day in the communal area, peacocks wandering about outside, and very welcoming and friendly service. Superb breakfasts. Loved it there. Enjoyed the walks in Lisbon, especially strolling around the Alfama area and wandering around the Castelo de Sao Jorge (definitely worth getting there early!). Recommend the Fado museum. Loved the Pastel de Nata in the shop alongside Casa Brasilera on Rua Augusta. Only complaint? Not enough time to do all we wanted. In Sintra the views from the Moorish castle are superb and we also loved the walk down through the park towards the Villa Sassetti. There is a lovely cafe there near the villa - Casa das Minas. We sat outside with fabulous views of the National Palace sipping red wine. They have artwork you can look at (https://www.instagram.com/ccasadasminas/)
Inntravel gave us so much excellent advice and information! The walks were really great and the hotels were excellent! Being big on food, we especially appreciated the restaurant recommendations. One word of advice, even a short walk in Lisbon is a lot of work - there are lots of hills and staircases everywhere!

Combining Lisbon and Sintra with the Azores really made this a much more memorable holiday. Both are absolute musts and accommodation and guidance were both outstanding. Each of the islands visited in the Azores were very different and accommodation was a bit variable. On the walking side, a lot of the tracks are wide cinder tracks that can get a bit boring, although the 10 volcanoe walk was outstanding with a lot of variety. However, it was hard expecially when humidity is high and its a hot day. The Inntravel walking routes really did make the best of what can be seen on the islands. It was very clear that a lot of thought and planning went into this holiday and that did make it enjoyable and good value for money.
Good holiday (Lisbon & Palaces of Sintra and From Cape to Castle Walking holidays) but in first 2 weeks in May there were big crowds particularly in Lisbon and Sintra.
The holiday exceeded our expectations and we were delighted with the accommodation in both Lisbon and Sintra. The brochure was really comprehensive and put the holiday within an historical context of Portugal as well as giving useful up to date information. We would certainly use Inntravel again and wouldn't hesitate to recommend the company to others.
As you would expect from Inntravel, this is a gem of a short break holiday that meets high expectations.
