Gorgeous old mansion with several little guest houses. Has a pool and hot tub, with beautiful places to lounge. The sunroom where you eat breakfast is gorgeous and looks out at the grounds and the parrots who live on the property

Beautiful building, friendly and helpful staff, breakfast was included too 👍🏽

The breakfast was very good and the whole property is very beautiful

It was quite humid in the room.

Quiet location with nice apartment. comfortable bed and good shower! Adequate continental breakfast.

No hot water from kitchen sink.

Breakfast and the upgrade

There was no jacuzzi as it used to have

Very nice place in a nature... Close to Pena and the other attractions. The breakfast was very good. Value for money - high

Parking. The style. Grounds. Staff

Driving in Sintra is very difficult. Would have stayed near the train station if we had of known. Uber didn't show up.

Beautiful hotel and room. Very good breakfast.

Nice location, lovely fairytale town and surrounds

Building needs a bit of maintenance but quite ok especially considering the price

This is a wonderfully quirky hotel/bed and breakfast. The building is a large and impressive old house, built right on the edge of a rocky slope, with impressive gates and front door. You can park briefly in front to unload, but must park lower down the hill in the rather informal parking area reached through iron gates for which a code is needed. The lane to the hotel and on to the car park is narrow between stone walls, one way and steeply down hill with tight corners. We could not turn the car outside the hotel and had to reverse out, nor could we turn in to the car park and had to reverse in and turn inside. To bring the car back to the front door is a significant journey all the way down, round and up to the top, then down again. The interior is nicely and intriguingly decorated with original features, such as the original and ill-fitting shutters in our room, the balcony outside our room (which flooded in the rain, but did not flood the room), the parrots in a cage outside the conservatory used for breakfast and the birds painted on our bedroom ceiling. Breakfast is taken in half-hour shifts and is perfectly adequate, but you may have to wait for the next batch of scrambled egg, then compete for it before it runs out again. Occasionally the lady who organises breakfast will also provide an evening meal, which needs to be ordered and selected in advance and is served by her husband in the conservatory, and paid for in cash directly to her. There is no restaurant in the conventional sense. The managers could not have been more friendly and helpful, speaking good English. The staff also friendly and helpful, but needing to use the translation app on the phone to find out what we wanted. The historical centre is about 7 or 8 minutes downhill on foot (as is the train station in a different direction). We decided to return the hire car and rely on walking locally, tuc tucs and the train for Lisbon.

We liked it overall, but don’t expect it to come up to the photographs online. It is a little shabby, seems a bit disorganised, rather informal and a little amateur, but charming for all that.

Beautiful place, amazing garden, great breakfast, nice & friendly staff.

Our rooms were not very clean and they smelled quite bad (i think someone smoked inside) and we've found a gigantic spider in the livingroom.

Comfortable beds, good location, pretty surroundings.

The environment, the breakfast and the helping receptionist staff.

Nothing

Location is excellent. Rooms are lovely and comfortable. The property decor is beautiful.

The parking was difficult for a large car.

Location, price and people. All excellent.

A bar would have been nice! We booked a room in the hotel so expected a bar.

This hotel offers a great option to stay near the Sintra attractions for a low price. The hotel has a private parking which was a great plus for us so we could leave the car parked safely at the hotel while we took taxis to the attractions (the streets in Sintra are very narrow and sometimes in only 1 direction). The bedroom was nice and clean, but the double bed was a little small for 2 persons. Luckily we got a triple room so we had 1 double bed + 1 individual bed that we could take advantage of. The shampoo and body lotion used at this hotel are EXCELLENT.

The charm of the hotel is that it looks like an old house. From walking to the pool or the parking to the main house however, you can see a lot of old pieces of furniture or parts from objects that look like trash. It would not hurt to clean this up a little bit. Another downside is that there is no stores or restaurants near the hotel, we had to have food delivered to us for dinner.

Staff was lovely, everybody helpful and nice. The place is beautiful, amazing gardens, very relaxing enviroment, delicious breakfast. I had a lovely time there with my family.

lovely place and nice stuff

A property with character. Presumably an old house converted into a hotel. The pool was refreshing. We had a balcony - which was nice. Bed comfortable. Property very much uphill from Station. Be ready for that if hauling cases! (Actually Sintra is very uphill!!) Staff very pleasant and helpful. The Sitting/Drawing room is a pleasant place to wind down in the evening. Buffet breakfast is fine. Nothing fancy - but does the job. Grounds could probably do with a bit of a “tidy up” in places (particularly by the area where breakfast is served). But, that’s actually part of the places charm. We stayed two nights - leaving ourself one full day in Sintra. That wasn’t enough to really see everywhere.

Onsite parking

It felt a little run down amd not nearly as elegant as the photos. We expected wonderful, but just got ok. The breakfast was timed, you had to pick 830, 900, or 930, were given 30 miniutes and it was all self service, even the cannister of coffee. The only warm items were scrambled eggs and sausage, which both kept running out because everyone had to start at the same time.

Super clean and comfortable. Great location and service. Highly recommend.

Zero

Very large suite, comfortable and great access to everything the hotel had to offer. Thankful for good air-conditioning and overall cleanliness. Very close to all the area had to offer. The breakfast was very good with plenty of options.

A bit of a hike to the parking lot, especially with bags. I recommend dropping off bags upon arrival and then park. While the parking lot was on the property the only way to access it was down one of two stairways. But overall, plenty of parking
