Friendly Helpful and came to find me when I couldn’t locate hotel Professional

This place is truly a hidden gem. An oasis among Expedia properties I have visited. Would highly recommend this place.

This wonderful location, though potentially challenging to find initially due to road closures when relying on navigation devices like Google, offers a secure and complimentary on-site parking option. Upon your arrival, you'll be greeted by exceptionally friendly staff who are more than eager to extend a warm welcome and guide you to your accommodation nestled amidst serene gardens. During your stay, don't forget to say hello to Oscar, the delightful resident peacock, known to make occasional appearances during breakfast on the dining room patio. Be sure to treat yourself to the delectable cooked breakfast and freshly brewed coffee. When you're ready for dinner, it's just a short, leisurely stroll to the town center, where you can explore various dining options and even catch transportation up to the castle, or opt for a scenic walk if you're feeling energetic. A simple but lovely gesture during your stay is to exchange morning greetings with fellow guests as you head to breakfast. A friendly demeanor can add an extra layer of charm to this already delightful accommodation.

Awesome place awesome service!

This was a nice, quiet getaway. It felt like a travel back in time. The property was beautiful and ancient. The pool was relaxing.

This hotel is a storybook dream. The buildings, grounds, gardens, delicious custom made breakfast, even the peacock speak of a time gone by but with today's conveniences. The most successful element in this hotel is the warm, gracious staff, who goes out of their way to help. I could hardly enjoy the things Sintra had to offer because I wanted to stay all day long at Casa Holstein!

Small oasis in a busy and beautiful area. Staff were kind and excellent!

Good location, walking distance to downtown. Friendly staff. Negative point is the lack of s SmartTV in the room.

Nice taste, good breakfast

Poor Casa Holstein. It was probably a great hotel pre-Covid. You can see it in its bones. The grounds, one of their points of pride, were in horrible conditions. Looks like zero maintenance for the past two years. The boxwoods have fallen victim to European boxwood blight. The staff were all non-Portuguese. They knew nothing of the surrounding area. Great restaurants close but you had to figure out that for yourself. I was told by a local that the elderly owner of the property died a year or so ago and the folks who lease/operate the property have let it go downhill. No one in the family seems to be holding the operators accountable. With that said, the rooms were nice. Linens were okay but not of the quality you would expect from a hotel of this stature. We stayed in the villa. Words of warning! DO NOT RENT THE VILLA UNLESS YOU ARE IN TOP PHYSICAL CONDITION!! The villa is down below the hotel. The stairs are long, steep and treacherous. I can not even imagine navigating the hike to the villa in the rain. With this said, we liked the hotel. There is a special charm to the place. I hope the owners hold the operators to a higher standard and return Casa Holstein to its grandeur.

Very clean and pretty property. Located close to many attractions. Will come back at some point again.

Loved the location. 15 minute walk to the city touristy area but such a quiet location away from the business. (Except for the peacock, but he was respectful and didn’t start his calling til after 6:30 am). Loved the available on site parking. Was a little disappointed as the pictures are deceiving, but the charm of the place made up for it. I would definitely stay again!!

Friendly staff, nice breakfast. Room was ok, in a basement like area. A bit smelly, like it was closed for some days.

This is an historic establishment, with great character and charm. The rooms are attractively furnished in ‘Country House’ style, and are generously proportioned and provided for, (though their phone system needs an overhaul, as I couldn’t make a local call on the room or the one at reception!). We especially liked the pool terrace (great view at sunset), and the faded grandeur of the grounds, though they do really need ‘taking in hand’ with regard to the rear gardens and the pool itself, which is slimy and full of leaves. The staff were all friendly, and the breakfast staff provided us with generous fare, served on our terrace. (Vishnu was particularly impressive, but everyone made us welcome). In general the rooms were clean, but on arrival our floor needed a good mop, which did our after prompting. Our main problem was the smell of damp in our room, and the effect it had on my partner’s asthma- he had several coughing fits in the night, due to the damp atmosphere, and because there is no extraction system in the bathroom (Room 9, but other rooms also seemed to lack this). In the short-term a de-humidifier is needed in that room, and cleaning and spraying to remove fungal spores.

Beautiful historic property surrounded by a huge hilly park in the middle of Sintra. Excellent location within walking distance of the town square, the Palacio National and the train station. Parking is very scarce in Sintra, and the property’s large park provided ample parking. The bedrooms and baths are small but freshly renovated, soberly stylish and elegant and very clean.

The hotel is fantastic. the personnel, rooms and location is superb. Possibly a bit hard to find with a car GPS but otherwise unbeatable

Great stay, the quinta is in a marvelous place, super green and calm. The staff is absolutely lovely and caring. We enjoyed every minute of our stay

The hotel and the services have absolutely exceeded our expectations! Upon arrival we were offered a complimentary upgrade to a bigger room. The hotel is well kept and located on a beautiful property overlooking the hills and the National Place. Breakfast was included in the price and served outside at the patio. We didn't have a chance to use the pool but it looked amazing too! Giving the staff five stars for their hospitality! Thank you and we will definitely be back!

Wasn't expecting to find such a charming and quaint hotel. Room was clean, spacious with comfy beds, seating area and well equiped mini-bar (no tv though). Our room had a massive walk in shower with all toiletries included. For those travelling by car, there is parking available on site. There are beautiful gardens, outside seating area and a swimming pool. Breakfast was plentiful and varied. Staff were all extremely friendly and professional. Near to train station, bars and city centre was walking distance. Covid rules were adhered to.

Amazing staff and place !

This is a beautiful hotel located on a large piece of property but still in a great location. It consists of several pretty buildings as it was once a royal hunting lodge. Our room was large with many windows, a comfortable bed and bedding, a beautiful marble bathroom, an many beautiful antiques in the room. There was a pretty patio area overlooking the gardens and a very pretty breakfast room opening to a patio. The breakfast had many choices. There are pretty peacocks roaming around the property. You are walking distance to the train and sites and restaurants.

We stayed just for 1 night in February and had a wonderful time at this amazing casa hotel. Lovely historical environment, good service, comfortable bed and tasty breakfast. Would stay again!

It was romantic getaway in beutifull Sintra! Room was comfortable, bed was good, shower had good pressure. Staff were more than nice! Buildings and garder are really beutifull and even this palace is near everything it is quiet and peacefull place. It is an Oasis! There were even two peacocks under our window when we woke up!

Atmosphere and breakfast was unique. Missing water kettle

wonderful little place!

This casa Holstein is amazing! We were greeted so warmly with a delicious glass of rose wine. The history was very interesting and we later met one of the nephews of Salvador, who grew up there and may have stayed in our room! . Susan was so gracious and helped us in every way, along with the receptionist. Our room and bath was very spacious and beautiful and the grounds and buildings were exquisite. By far, the best hotel stay of our trip to Portugal!

A beautiful resort style Hotel with friendly and helpful staff
