Small and sweet

This pretty little house is very close to the main square which heaves with tourists, but is entirely quiet and private itself. Maria is kind and helpful. Everything equipment-wise worked in the house. It was an enjoyable stay.

A relaxing stay

The apartment was close to restaurants and main attractions and in a very quiet location. We were within walking distance of Quinta da Regalia and Sintra Palace.

A week in Sintra

We had a week in Sintra and it's a truly magical place. Sintra, is a very busy tourist Town and we were there over the Easter holidays. So the peace and tranquility of the lovely small bungalow we had, was very welcome after our full days of exploring both Sintra and outlying areas. The Bungalow had everything to cover our needs and was owned and run by a lovely family Mum, Daughter and Husband in Law, Maria, Maria and 'Charlie'. THANKS to all the above for making our stay with you so enjoyable and comfortable. Cheers Andy & Di (McInnes) UK April 2018

Characterful, Quiet and Convenient

This propoperty is an ideal base for a couple to explore the rich and historic area of Sintra. Its a little old bungalow very close to the historic centre of Sintra tucked away down a very quiet residential allay just 50m from all the action. The owners are close buy and are really friendly and helpful. Tips for Sintra: To get to Pena and the Fort take a Tuktuk up the hill for 5 euros each, then walk back down one of the trails. There are buses for 5.5 euros each, but we never saw one which wasn't completely full - so that was not an option. There are no supermarkets in the historic centre, so do a big shop in Pingo's near the train station which is an excellent well stocked supermarket.

Charming, clean, central

We very much enjoyed our short stay! The apartment is compact, and has everything needed. Very clean. Located in beautiful old-town Sintra with many restaurants and easy access to buses that take you to major attractions - castles, gardens, hiking trails. Maria was very welcoming, always available and helpful. Highly recommend, including Tulhas restaurant just around the corner and Nelson's hospitality!

A comfortable week in a charming little property.

This apartment is beautifully maintained and is equipped with everything needed for a comfortable visit. It is clean and thoughtfully furnished with delightful tiling and many quality towels. The owner was very neighbourly and helpful though I think she should warn guests that any fresh food shops are some distance away. The Portugese are helpful and open which makes a stay in Portugal a real pleasure.

Great location, super landlady.

This tiny house is located a stone throw away from Sintra centre — everything iswithin walking distance. The house is small but it’s fully equipped for a comfortable stay. The landlady, Maria, was a very nice and cultured individual. She always responded to queries etc. quickly and gave ideas on tourist spots in Sintra. The only problem with this house is it is far from supermarkets/mini markets.All in all, we would still recommend this place for a short stay in Sintra.

Charming cottage in great location

Sintra is amazing! Narrow, winding, cobbled streets, lots of restaurants and unique shops. The location of the cottage was ideal. Close to the center of town on a quiet pedestrian street. The host lives a couple of doors down and was very accommodating at check in. Our flight got delayed and we did not land until midnight. We communicated numerous times during the delay and she assured us that it would not be a problem. She met us a couple of blocks from the cottage at 12:30am and once inside, showed us where everything was and wanted to know if we needed milk or anything for the morning. Inside the cottage was cozy with beautiful tile work and ample room for two. Unfortunately, the weather was cold and damp during our stay, raining for 2 weeks, so the small heaters could not compete. We were informed by numerous people that we were there for the worst Spring ever. Normally 7 days of rain in the month, and we got 13 in 14 days. Certainly not Maria’s fault. She was concerned and kept checking in with us.

Charming apartment with a great location

The apartment is on a very quiet, pedestrian only street, but it is only steps away from the Palace de Pena, restaurants, cafes, shops and a bus stop. There is a little grocery store with fruit and vegetables and a great bakery near the train station. It is a ten-minute walk to the Sintra train station, but there are waiting taxis if you don’t want to walk. The apartment is very cute and the patio is delightful. The owners were very helpful. We stayed a week in Sintra, taking the train to Lisbon and the bus to Cascais. A stess-free week. Highly recommended; we were very happy with how our trip turned out.

Nice place

Lovely tile work, good mattresses, pretty well equipped, but could be so much better with a bit of TLC. Bathroom faucet sprays all over, bedroom door squeaks badly, hair dryer is on its last legs and the whole place smelled musty.

Excellent location, perfect for 2 people

Excellent location in the historic section of Sintra on a quiet pedestrian side street. An easy walking distance to many bakeries, restaurants, and palaces. The apartment is small but very functional, has beautiful tile details, and is clean and peaceful. I stayed here, first with my daughter and then with my sister and we all loved our stay. Hosts Maria & Burghard welcomed me on arrival, and responded quickly to questions or requests during our stay. They live close by, so was fun to get tips about the area when we happened to bump into them. I highly recommend this cute apartment as a base to explore the beautiful palaces and gardens of Sintra, and would love to stay here again.

We loved this charming, character cottage

Located right in the heart of the historic centre of Sintra this cozy little cottage could not be a better choice for a short or longer stay. We were there for four nights and were 100% impressed in every way. From our first meeting with our very helpful and friendly host, nothing could be better. The cottage was exceptionally well equipped in every respect and displayed our host’s skilled traditional tile artistry. The little garden was a fun place to enjoy a glass of port. And we sincerely appreciated the bottle of tawny port and bottled water that awaited us in the cottage. If we were to return to Sintra this is where we would stay. Parking is a challenge in Sintra.

TOP Appartment, TOP friendly Host, TOP Location, Value for Money, relaxed stay

The 2 night stay was great. Spotlessly clean appartment, large rooms, fabulous view, parking behind appartment, as we arrived in the evening, we could drive into the city-center. Directly located beside national sintra palace and walking distance to Quinta de Regaleira. 5 Minutes walk to the busstop of the Hop-on-hop-off bus line 434. Restaurants and cafes just on the doorstep. We used the well equipped kitchen on our first night with some precooked food bought at the supermarket and had dinner at the indian/italian restaurant just behind the appartment, which was very delicious. I would really recommend the appartment and it is great value for money also. Host is extremely helpful. Better park car in Lisbon or Cascais and come with tram or train from there with your "overnight luggage" or let GPS search for Cafe Paris and enter late with your car. Be aware of extremely narrow roads, our audi a1 fitted only with the mirrors folded to the car!

Lovely, cozy apartment in the heart of Sintra!

We stayed 4 nights in this little jewel of a place. Confortable, fully equipped and right at Sintra’s downtown, it is located on a narrow pedestrian street and it is quiet and serene at night.

Sweet stay

Dulce was so helpful and has created a lovely dwelling. It was very clean and cheery plus she even left us a bottle of port to enjoy on the patio. Only a few steps from the old town center with delightful cobblestone streets. I recommend staying in Sintra instead of a day trip because it is so lovely in the morning and evening because most of the tourists are gone. Take a hike to the moorish castle. It's mostly straight up but a wonderful walk. I would stay here again and definitely recommend it to anyone coming to Sintra.

Magical Spot

We enjoyed a lovely stay in this home in the historic area of Sintra. The home was perfect for us, with a sitting area, bedroom, kitchen and full bath. There were extra pillows, blankets, an iron, hair dryer, fully equipped kitchen, anything we could have needed. The garden views from the bedroom and the outdoor patio facing the small lane were lovely as well. Our hosts were friendly and very helpful, they certainly made our stay even more enjoyable. We look forward to returning to this magical spot!
