Great place
Wish we could have stayed there longer. We were only there for one night. The staff was so friendly and nice. The accommodations were great and we loved the location only a few minutes from the train station. The breakfast was also really good!

The chalet is a beautifully restored home with unique decorating located in the center of town. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The breakfast which is included is served at another site and was plentiful. It was a very pleasant stay.

Charming setting, very clean, especially for older Victorian-style decor. Comfortable bed. Very pleasant airy sitting room to take complimentary port. Attentive and kind reception, and included breakfast at nearby cafe is excellent. Perfect location for walking from train station and then up to old town and Royal Palace.

Excellent Location and Room
Very charming and well located hotel in a classic style. Room was very spacious.
The bed was wide and soft. Bathroom was small but clean. Maid service came in and cleaned up nicely.
Desk clerks were extremely helpful and kind.
Breakfast was at their restaurant around the corner and was a good sized assortment of a few slices of ham, cheese, a fruit bowl a hard boiled egg and a basket of croissants and slices of bread. Orange juice and a choice of coffees. Friendly service at this popular spot. We went early one day and late the next. Recommend early as it’s not so busy and the croissants were fresh and hot!
Location is perfect for walking to sites.
This Sintra hotel is gorgeous. It has a beautiful garden, nicely decorated lobby.
It also offers free breakfast which is delicious.

Such a cute place to stay. Our check in was fabulous with front desk staff being so friendly. Easy and convenient to walk to many local wine bars and restaurants. Train station just 2 min walk away. The breakfast was amazing and too much food we asked for half the next day! Beds were comfortable. Shower was a little small if you are a bigger person. Would
Recommend.
