Casa Holstein Quinta de São Sebastião

Casa Holstein Quinta de São Sebastião is a beautiful survivor of the golden age of Sintra mansions. The grounds are stunning and the location is fantastic. The morning breakfast was a continental type of high quality ingredients, however after a few day it did get tedious. The hotel is in need of a major refreshment, most of the pretty antiques in our room were sagging and stained. We really enjoyed the ensuite bath and extra room that we had access too. The staff was friendly and English was not a problem, however they will sometimes disappear. I think like many small hotels the staff is stretched thin. Our initial plan was to spend the week in Sintra, but when the internet failed after our first night we decided to move to Lisbon and we left on Thursday. Although the internet failure was not necessarily the hotels fault we found it to be a deal breaker as everything in the Sintra area requires planning and timed tickets. The staff was very understanding and let us check out three days early with a refund. I would stay again, its a beautiful survivor of the grand mansions of Sintra with a great location and romantic grounds and views of the wonderful Sintra area.

Nice quiet location in a beautiful setting. Great Tavern nearby! :)

The entire property here felt like a fairytale. The staff are wonderful and the room I stayed in was very charming and cozy. Definitely check this hotel out if you’re headed to Sintra!

We enjoyed our stay and highly recommend! Private parking is easy, beautiful grounds and hotel which used to be an aristocratic residence. A bit of faded grandeur in places but still retaining a lot of elegance. There is a pool too. Staff friendly and helpful. Well located for the main Sintra sights, walk to Nat’l Palace and several good restaurants/cafes.
