Chalet Saudade

A beautiful spot in a great location. Katarina checked us in and was so helpful by providing us with many tips about the city and helping us change our bus tickets. The breakfast provided was delicious! Our room was spacious. Excellente!!

Historic building (no elevators, 7 floors, but friendly staff that carry your bags). Great location next to rail station and restaurants. Will stay here again.

If you’re visiting Sintra, stop searching and book Chalet Saudade immediately. This was easily one of the highlights of our Portugal trip. From the moment we arrived for our 7-night stay, Caterina and Filipa made us feel completely at home with their warmth, hospitality, and amazing recommendations. The entire staff was exceptional, but Caterina especially went above and beyond helping with reservations and local tips that made our trip even better. Our room was spotless, comfortable, and perfect after long days of sightseeing. The bed was incredibly comfortable, the air conditioning worked great, and the beautiful garden area became one of our favorite evening spots to relax with wine and meet fellow travelers. The location is ideal — within walking distance of Sintra attractions, the train station, and several fantastic restaurants. And do not skip breakfast at Café Saudade. Calling it a continental breakfast is underselling it. The food was fresh, delicious, and incredibly generous. The coffee was excellent and the perfect way to start each day. What truly makes Chalet Saudade special is the atmosphere. It feels less like a hotel and more like a welcoming home base for exploring the magic of Sintra. Between the historic charm, beautiful grounds, perfect location, amazing food, and incredible staff, this is a place we will enthusiastically recommend to everyone.

When we checked in, we got tips for all the places we wanted to go and the best way to see everything we had on our list. It was perfect. The staff we all extremely friendly and the included breakfast each morning was delicious . We would stay there again and definitely recommend to others! Great charm too!
