Guest Reviews
- Courtney (9/5): - Great location for exploring historic Sintra and the nearby palaces
- Darcy (8/5): - Great location; lovely breakfast
- Ian Cheetham (9/5): Sintra - be sure to have comfy shoes - Great location at the top of town. But be aware N-247 is a one way road and sometimes partially closed in morning (until 10a.m.?). As touring by motorcycle was able to park near don't (using gentle sloped cobbled street just past hotel. No issues but only 2 coat hangers which was odd but not a problem for us.
- Alda (10/5): - Close to most everything. Clean, comfortable. Hostess knew area well and very helpful with directions and suggestions. Located in pedestrian only zone. Difficult for ride share to access to front door.
- Chandra (9/5): - La localizzazione e l'accoglienza!
- Zabrina (9/5): Loved this little hidden gem. So close to everything! - Beautiful location A small bit of noise from people above just getting ready in morning and night, but nothing much to complain about.
- Peter (8/5): Nice - It is 100 yards from the bus stop to Pena Palace.
It was 130 yards from the centre and 250 yards to Sintra Palace.
It was tiny with just 5 rooms and an honesty kitchen with cake
Check in and out times were excellent and it was very cutely decorated. Tea making was in the kitchen rather than the room.
There is awful parking and traffic in Sintra, and Ubers are cheap from Lisbon-
- Patrícia (10/5): Conforto, simpatia e localização top - Gostei de tudo. O quarto era bastante acolhedor e confortável. O pequenos almoço tinha bastante variedade e o staff muito simpática. A localização é top na zona histórica. Recomendo... Não tenho nada apontar.
- Mari (10/5): -
- Lynda (10/5): Excellent! - The staff were excellent - so friendly and accommodating! The room was lovely - spacious and bright.
- Marina (8/5): -
- Faller (9/5): Great place, recommend. - Loved the location and the staff. The noise from the street was challenging at night.
- Irene (9/5): -
- Jennifer (10/5): Fabulous staff great breakfast and wonderful location - Fantastic Nothing
- ROSALIA (10/5): - Me gustó todo, la limpieza , la ubicación ,ideal para visitar todos los sitios, el personal muy atento q te hace sentir como en casa y desayuno abundante con bizcochos caseros Por decir algo,que por su ubicación el aparcar es un poco complicado
- Alexandre (10/5): -
- Peter (9/5): -
- Muriel (10/5): - Tudo feito com muita delicadeza, nos sentimos como se tudo fosse preparado especialmente para nós.
- Kylie (10/5): Perfect - everything I had hoped and more. I am so glad I stayed there and wish I did not have to leave. - A very beautiful little boutique guest house - it was perfect. Just as the photographs and what you would hope imagine it to be.
The staff were very helpful and caring. Breakfast was amazing.
You could not fault this guest house or the staff. The other guest were also very polite. There is absolutely nothing bad.
My only tip is to not bring a heavy suitcase, or ask the accommodation how to avoid the stairs.
- Pedro Etienne (10/5): - Da localização, atendimento informal e impecável, gentileza da funcionária. Nada a declarar.
- Linda (10/5): Wonderful Stay in Sintra - Our Uber from Lisbon was able to drop us off close to the guest house as it is located on a side street. It wasn't difficult to find. The guest house was in good proximity to the major sites. The guesthouse is very clean and modern up to date facilities. We had access to the kitchen after hours and the breakfast was very good each morning.
- Joanne (10/5): Wonderful hotel in the heart of Sintra. - The Manager, Ana, went out of her way to assist us and make sure our stay was enjoyable. She helped with restaurant reservations and accommodated breakfast for our early departure. She was so pleasant and answered any questions we had. The location was amazing! Highly recommend this hotel.
- Janick (9/5): Très beau B&B avec beaucoup de charme. - Très beau Bed and breakfast avec beaucoup de charme et dans un bel environnement. Très bien situé avec beaucoup de restaurants autour. Très bon petit dejeuner. Il y a peu de stationnement à proximité, il faut prévoir une petite marche dans les ruelles pour se rendre au B&B.
- Mari (10/5): Viehättävä ja tunnelmallinen. - Siisti ja viehättävä pieni hotelli. Huone oli ihanan iso. Aamiainen oli hyvä. Sijainti oli myös ihanteellinen. -
- Anna (5/5): Extremt lyhört! - Skön säng om än väldigt låg. Bra med kuddar. Ok frukost. Bröd, kokt ägg, yoghurt, ost och skinka. Extremt lyhört. Man hör allt från trapphus och grannarnas rum. Snarkningar, väckarklocka och allt annat. Väldigt knarriga golv.
Kan du sova dig igenom de mesta kan det funka.
- Lyndal (10/5): - This very beautiful guesthouse perched high on Sintra's hilltop was everything I had dreamed of for a Portuguese villa in what was for me one of the most beautiful magical places I have ever been. Sintra and Aguamel not to be missed
- Arnold (10/5): Great boutique hotel with great service - Beautiful boutique hotel in the centre of Sintra It was great!
- Maria (10/5): 10 out of 10! - Very nice hotel in the historical center of Sintra, renovated with love and care. I really enjoyed staying there. Very nice staff and amazing atmosphere. The toilet and the shower are right in the room behind the glass door. It wasn’t a problem for me, but if you want to have a bit more privacy, you can use a toilet at the ground floor.
- Rebecca (6/5): Tricky to get to by uber or taxi - Nice big clean rooms with pretty balcony. Ubers and Taxis cannot get to it. If you have luggage avoid. Its quite central, but still hard to get to by vehicle. This should be made more transparent to guests.
- Braulio (10/5): Acolhedora e aconchegante! - Fomos muito bem acolhidos! A dona do estabelecimento foi muito gentil e prestativa. Estava tudo muito bem organizando, inclusive com direito a bolo e chá na recepção, além de outros mimos. A Sra. Ana é uma pessoa encantadora. O local é muito bem localizado e deixa aquela vontade de voltar.
- Hugo (8/5): -
- Maria (10/5): Alojamiento top - Todo, habitación muy confortable y silenciosa, la cama buena, estaba todo muy limpio, la atención inmejorable, el desayuno estupendo. Todo fue genial. Esta muy bien ubicado por lo que llegar hasta él fue complicado. Dejamos el coche en un parking de las afueras y pillamos un uber para llegar al hotel, aun así los caminos para los transportes están restringidos y tuvimos que caminar mucho desde nos pudo dejar el uber hasta llegar al hotel.
Consejo: no lleves una maleta mejor una mochila con el equipaje. Tendrás que cargarla mucho tiempo por cuestas y escaleras largas.
- Caroliny (10/5): Sensacional! - Da atenção e gentileza em transformar meu aniversário de casamento uma estadia maravilhosa, do acolhimento e cuidado em deixar sempre um bolinho e café disponível. O quarto é lindíssimo, o atendimento muito cordial. Espero voltar logo!
- Antenen (10/5): i've already recommended it to others. - breakfast, location, comfort, wallpaper and bathroom. no complaints
- Hugo (10/5): Totalmente recomendable - Alojamiento muy limpio. Personal muy agradable y atentos. Desayuno muy bueno
- Leticia (10/5): -
- Patryk (9/5): Wszystko pasowało, trzeba pamiętać że pod obiekt podjeżdża tylko normalna taxi. - Lokalizacja,Czysto wszystko zgodne z opisem. Bardzo czysto i schludnie.
- Vanessa (10/5): -
- Claire (7/5): Excellent location for this charming house, however some rooms are not very practical. - This property has the most amazing location in the old city. Wherever you go, you’re never far, and it’s right by the steps that lead up to Castro Del Moro and Parque / Castro de Pena. It’s a delight to be so close to all the amazing hiking paths. It’s also walking distance to the train station if you’re reasonably fit (<20 min walking)
The breakfast buffet is very good (except the coffee that is really not good). Free tea / cake in the common room for a nice break. Plenty of restaurants around <5 min walking. I really wanted to give this property and its nice staff 9/10 or 10/10. Unfortunately, the rooms of this historical house have been remade to be a BnB without a notion of how people actually live in it.
I was in a room with no separate bathroom : you have a translucent stall for the toilet and another one for the shower. Which is not an issue if you stay alone, but if you’re with a friend or partner, well, you’re showering in plain sight, stepping naked out of the shower directly into the room, and the same for the bathroom. You will be waking up the other with the light in the bathroom stall during the night, not to mention the sound and potential smell…It’s esthetic but not practical.
- Debora_S (9/5): -
- Ľuboš (9/5): - Prostredie, skvelé raňajky, čistota, pohodlie, ticho a kľud ❤️
- Ondřej (10/5): - Moc pěkné ubytování, blízko centra, dobrá snídaně a možnost samoobslužné kuchyňky. Příjemný personál. Možnost nechat zavazadla před check-inem i po check-outu
- Beatriz (9/5): Perfectly spotted place - The location was perfect, the breakfast was very rich in diversity and quality, the staff was very friendly and finally the room was the perfect size, with nice view to Serra de Sintra, confy bed. I didnt like very much the part where our car has to be a bit far away from our location, nicely the cops helps us unpack and after park the car. I saw a parking spot near it should be reserved to clients.
- Roberto (10/5): -
- Marta (10/5): perfect place for a one night stay in Sintra. great location - nicely decorated small rooms in a perfect location. good breakfast and very communicative staff
- Maria Cristina (8/5): -
- Ana P. (10/5): Excellent location to enjoy Sintra - Well located, charming and comfortable. Excellent breakfast, lovely staff. Walking distance from most famous sites in Sintra.
- Pinto Leite (10/5): -
- Dawn (9/5): - The area Parking facilities and numerous steps.
- Stefania (9/5): Alojamiento céntrico en Sintra - La habitación era muy limpia, la cama muy comoda, desayuno delicioso con mucha variedad, en pleno centro y cerca de todo. No había parking, tuvimos que dejar el coche a 20 minutos del establicimiento y caminar hasta allí
- Gina (9/5): - Gostei do quarto, da limpeza de uma maneira geral de tudo.
- Patrão (7/5): - Decoração do quarto muito bonita e elegante, dimensão do quarto e da casa de banho, localização A cama não era de casal, o ruído ao redor, climatização demasiado quente, pequeno almoço com nenhum produto regional de Sintra.
- Lori-Ann (8/5): Excellent location, close to attractions and has a good breakfast - Excellent location - was a bit of a climb but not too much with our luggage. Very walkable to attractions. Nice breakfast and American style drip coffee. The host leaves out cake and tea all day and you can also buy yogurt, bottled water, wine, chips etc. very quiet and the dining area is very comfortable and relaxing The shower temperature was difficult to manage. Breakfast, including coffee, is not served until 9 but the host served it at 8:30 to accommodate our itinerary. It was a bit difficult to find using Google maps but a lot of things are difficult to find in Centra.
- Miguel Ângelo (8/5): - Organizado e muito higiénico. Nada a declarar
- Carlos Paleo da Rocha (10/5): Charmoso e aconchegante - A estrutura Acesso à guesthouse
- Sandra (10/5): - El hotel es céntrico, limpio, un desayuno sencillo, pero excelente. Las camas comodas. Las escaleras que hay que subir y bajar con las maletas para llegar al hotel. Un poco más de iluminación en la habitación.
- Marlene (9/5): A wonderfull warm and welcoming stay - I really enjoyed my stay — it was incredibly welcoming and comfortable from the moment I arrived. The property has a very cozy atmosphere, and the breakfast was excellent, with plenty of variety. I also loved the little cake at the reception when we arrived after travelling — such a thoughtful touch.
The only downside was the difficulty in adjusting the shower water temperature, which tended to fluctuate between too hot and cold. It would be great if that could be improved.
Aside from that, everything was wonderful. I truly appreciated the hospitality and would happily stay again!
- Paulo (10/5): Fenomenal e muito acolhedora. - Pequeno almoço excelente. Nada a referir.
- Silvia Myrna (10/5): Excelente, y el personal de más 10. La cordialidad y el deseo de brindarte lo que necesitas. - Era acogedora. Nada. Todo estuvo muy bueno
- Diane (10/5): Would highly recommend this guest house! - The location was excellent. We are walkers and it was a perfect starting spot for everywhere we wanted to go. Loved the all-day availability of tea and cake. Breakfast was very good…lots of options and healthy choices. We liked everything.
- Gloria (9/5): Piccolo angolo molto curato in posizione centrale - Posizione, pulizia, colazione, location super carina, terrazzina della camera, ci si sente a cass
- Natalia (10/5): Confortable hotel céntrico con camas de lujo y excelente atención - El alojamiento es comodísimo en todos los sentidos, situado en pleno centro histórico. Es luminoso, espacioso, con un diseño muy cuidado, las camas son de un hotel de 5 estrellas, con sábanas impecables y topper para el colchón que le da extra de confort. Es un hotel de 4 habitaciones lo que le da ese toque personal y a la vez familiar. Los desayunos son muy buenos y la atención del personal es excelente. Todo un acierto, lo recomiendo totalmente. Todo perfecto
- jason (7/5): - Lovely staff Room was a little cold ( January)

- Chis (9/5): O cazare cocheta - Imobilul este cochet si amenajat cu bun gust. Micul dejun este variat si contine ingrediente de calitate. Se aude TOT dintr-o camera in alta, inclusiv cum pasesc locatarii. Iarna caldura lasa de dorit.
- João (10/5): Maravilhosa -

- Lulu (10/5): -
- Robyn (10/5): Homely and comfortable in a great location - This was a great option for us with its location near the Centro Historico, easy access to the bus taking us around to all the castle/ palaces as well as we were able to use the kitchen of the guest house to cook a meal which was very welcome after a month of travel already and another month yet to come. The breakfast served was very good with fruit, yoghurt, cereals, pastries, meat and bread and of course coffee!
- Linda (10/5): Wonderful place to stay - This place was perfect for being close to everything. I wanted to see. It was clean and spacious. Nothing to complain about!
- García Galán (10/5): - Tiene una ubicación excelente para llegar a las principales atracciones turísticas de Sintra. El hotel es muy coqueto y limpio y el personal muy amable y atento Por decir algo, la falta de aparcamiento por la zona

- Bruna (10/5): Excelente acomodação! Quarto amplo, arejado e extremamente limpo. Toalhas e roupa de cama excelentes - A anfitriâ é ótima e tudo foi resolvido bem rápido no check in. Inclusive ela me permitiu entrar antes do horário combinado já que o quarto acabara de ser limpo. Também me instruiu sobre a localização do local. O quarto que solicitei (laranjeiras) é lindo e bem arejado! A cama, as roupas de cama e banho são de excelente qualidade. Indico de olhos fechados! Ah! E o bolo e chá sempre disponíveis são um detalhes (maravilhoso) à parte! A única coisa que senti falta foi de um espelho de corpo todo e o porta-sabonete estava emperrado e tive dificuldade para usa-lo, precisando desatarraxa-lo e depois encaixa-lo, novamente. Como acordei muito cedo para ir embora não pude relatar isso diretamente a Dona Ana - que tenho certeza, teria resolvido de imediato. Pela rua ser bem reservada, nem todos conhecem o local e o Uber não pode seguir a partir de determinado ponto - o que não é problema para quem está com poucas malas.
- Abril (10/5): Gran lugar con excelente ubicación - Casa de huéspedes súper limpia y cómoda, la host es un amor. Le dijimos que saldríamos muy temprano y nos dejó desayuno. Nada. Todo perfecto.
- Stefania (10/5): Romantico - Tutto molto bello, meraviglioso anzi. Solo un consiglio...... Cambiare il portasciugamani della stanza 102 ed il porta carta igienica e magari prevedere una mensola all'interno della doccia. Solo solo piccoli accorgimenti. Il camino ha reso tutto ancora più bello. Nulla.
- veronica (10/5): Estupenda - El personal excelente, encantadores, la habitación muy cómoda y cn todo lo necesario. La hubicacion muy buena a todo se llega a pie
- Normina (10/5): -
- Karen (9/5): A beautiful B&B with fabulous breakfast - fantastic value and wonderful location! - Fantastic location for Sintra's sights; beautiful room & breakfast - exceptional value! The floor/bathroom had been cleaned with bleach just before we arrived, and the smell was really unpleasant for some hours
- Rosella (9/5): - Nel centro, fermata pullman dietro la guest house per raggiungere la stazione o i siti d'interesse.Pulizia cortesia del personale.Buona colazione.
- Tiffany (9/5): Historic area hotel with filling breakfast, friendly staff and basic amenities. Great for a short stay - Excellent staff, decor and breakfast. Great location close to shops and restaurants. Staff carried luggage upstairs, and gave local recommendations. Breakfast was extensive and the breakfast room is charming. Room was a bit small and not much of a sitting area in the lobby. It rained most of our stay so it would have been nice to have a room to lounge in outside of our bedroom. If it were summer, I assume the The backyard would have been set up with chairs and tables. But that’s only available If the weather is nice. Also Decaf coffee would be nice to have
- Luis Fernando (9/5): Muito agradável - Super aconchegante Cheguei à noite, não foi tão fácil achar o local
- CHRIS (8/5): -
- Christopher (7/5): - The location is excellent. The breakfast was very good The room we stayed in does not have air conditioning. We stayed on a Wednesday night and the bar across the street kept going with until 3 in the morning.
