Galo Preto - Sintra Guesthouse

É a terceira vez que eu e a minha namorada lá vamos O espaço é excelente e é perfeito para um fim de semana calmo numa boa localização e a um preço fantástico

Il posto è stupendo, ampie camere con tutto quello che può servire, pulito, una vista eccezionale sui dintorni. I proprietari sono deliziosi e gentilissimi, super disponibili! C’è anche una cucina attrezzata per tutto, ottima per chi come noi ama i viaggi on the road.

Die Besitzer waren überaus freundlich, herzlich und unkompliziert. Wir haben bei unserer Ankunft eine Führung durch den Garten mit Erklärung der verschiedenen Bäume erhalten, was für uns sehr interessant war. Màrio erklärte uns die Geschichte des Ortes und der Umgebung, gab uns Tipps zu Unternehmungen und Restaurants. Und ja, wir haben später auf unserer Reise auch den Parque Natural da Arràbida bei Setubal besucht - wunderschön - vielen Dank für den Tipp:) Das Haus befindet sich in einer großartigen Umgebung, abseits vom touristischen Gedränge, aber sehr zentral zu Sintra und der Küste. Von unserem Zimmer hatten wir einen herrlichen Blick auf den Pena - Palast und die Maurenburg. Das Zimmer war sehr geräumig und geschmackvoll eingerichtet, sehr sauber und mit einem kleinen Kühlschrank, Wasserkocher und Kaffee- und Teezubehör ausgestattet. Außerdem stand uns die sehr gepflegte Gemeinschaftsküche zur Verfügung. Wir empfehlen die Unterkunft von ganzem Herzen weiter. Muito Obrigada:)

Hosts were very nice and helpful.Everything was very clean. There was use of a kitchen if you wanted to prepare food which is a bonus if no food is included in a stay. Good value for the price.

Nothing. Just informational , you do need a car to stay here as it is out of the center of Sintra.

It is secluded and has amazing views of Sintra’s Pena Palace and Castelo dos Mouros.

Amazing stay, highly recommended! Clean, spacious room. Very kind owners gave us tips about Portugal and showed us the garden. Excellent home-made breakfast with home ingredients - do not miss!

📍Location: The guest house is located in a beautiful, quiet residential area just 10 minutes from Sintra and about 30 minutes from Cabo da Roca. The highlight is the stunning view of the Pena Palace from the property. There is a gorgeous viewpoint only 10 minutes away, perfect for watching the sunset. Parking is exceptionally easy and free right in front of the house. 🛋️ Rooms: We booked the suite, which offered great value for money. Our room was on the first floor with a balcony overlooking the Palace. It was spacious and comfortable with a very cozy bed. While there is a microwave in the room, there are limited utensils; however, you can easily use the fully equipped common kitchen on the ground floor. 🍛 Food: There is an option to order breakfast, which is served on a lovely common terrace. While we didn’t opt for the breakfast, the common kitchen was great for making coffee and grabbing any plates or cutlery we needed for ourselves. 🛌🏻 Service: The host was incredibly kind, flexible, and welcoming. He shared fascinating stories about Portuguese history and the local fruits grown on the property. Even though we stayed only one night, he was very accommodating, allowing us to leave our bags and park the car there even after checkout. Despite our own research, he gave us excellent local recommendations for restaurants and sights that were truly top-notch!

The only minor negative was that the water pressure in the shower wasn't the strongest, but it was manageable.
