We checked in and didn’t have a very smooth check in process. The place was musty and windows couldn’t be kept open easily because of bugs. No air conditioning. We went out for dinner and returned. Once in bed, we discovered our two rooms were INFESTED with bed bugs. In the few hours we were in bed before realizing, my family suffered hundreds of bites. After this, we couldn’t get a hold of anyone who spoke English or the host for many hours and eventually decided to leave to go elsewhere because we were offered a different room and didn’t feel comfortable staying here. We asked for a refund and didn’t receive one. We spent $500 for a room we never slept a full night in and the host never even bothered to contact us back after we left a note. We noticed bedbugs CRAWLING on the walls in certain places. This was the worst experience I’ve had in any accommodation after 5 trips to Europe. Totally ruined our Sintra trip as we weren’t able to find another hotel in the area. I would not recommend the service or hotel to anyone and I am having to contact my credit card company to attempt to get out money back because Expedia wouldn’t help us out either/honour a refund. I have never written a negative review, but please save your money and skip this place!

It is a rare pleasure to be able to stay in a five-hundred year-old property which has been continuously inhabited and whose owners have created and maintained such beautiful landscaping. Our host was gracious and interested to share the property's history (and that of her family) which enriched our stay.

Nice Spot, Need Own Car
a nice hotel set back in the lushness of sintra, however it is quite inconvenient to get from here to main areas. The road is a 1 way 30 minute loop even though you are only 5 mins drive in the other direction. And if you do not have your own vehicle, requesting an uber was a real pain as the uber app did not recognize the 1 way road so was trying to have drivers go the opposite way for a 5 minute drive which only paid a couple euro. Of course, no driver would go out that way and do a 30 minute loop for only a couple euro. Nice spot, just be sure to have your own vehicle or be willing to walk 3 km to the area of town.

This facility is not a "Hotel" as advertised on Expedia. The brick and dirt path leading to the hotel in only suitable for goats. In some places it is barely wide enough for a small car to pass. The rooms smell of mildew and there is no central heating. The photo on Expedia is misleading since it was taken from the back of the property. The front entry is an old wood double door with high walls off the goat path that passes for an entry road to the property. The beds have to be over 30 years old and you will feel every spring when sleeping. The facility is up in the high hills over Sintra in an area infested with mosquitoes. The owner has a note in every room telling to you use insecticides and then sleep in the room after spraying. No one speaks English except the owner who never showed during our stay. The staff of two were very kind and did their best under these deplorable conditions. GPS is not correct for Sintra since the town changed their street directions years ago and GPS has never been updated. Trying to find this facility without GPS is a nightmare. We found an Uber driver at a filling station who was kind enough to guide us to the access road off of the high hill road leading to the property. We had to leave after two days there due to the horrible conditions of our room. Presently, still fighting them over the charges. This listing should not be on Expedia. The advertising is inaccurate and misleading.

VERY difficult to find. One way streets everywhere and google maps and car GPS could not find it. Thank goodness for a toir guide we came across nt chance. House was Old and worn. Electrical plugs hanging out of the wall or lamps with patched up exposed wires. Small rooms, not very clean. Smelled musty. Nice for the experience of a country house. But would not want to stay for long.

The staff, while truly lovely people, couldn't speak a word of English - they didn't even know what "Breakfast" meant. I don't speak any other language and therefore do feel bad for criticising Portuguese people for not speaking English in Portugal - I realise that's a bit hypocritical - but I think if you're running a BnB you should at least know some basics like breakfast, bed, shower etc. The hotel itself was extremely unique and quite beautiful, as was the surrounding area. However if you have lots of equipment (like I did) - it just isn't practical; lots of tight corridors and stairs. The room was actually damp - there was a distinct damp smell in it and the beds were noticeably damp feeling. I even left a piece of paper out one night and the next morning it was oddly soft. I wouldn't say that I would never visit again - but not on a business trip, and I would definitely request a different room.

Remote and beautiful
The place is amazing. After our stay a film crew was coming to make a movie. It like stepping back in time. The hostess was wonderful. We has a traditional Portuguese dinner one night with other guests in the dining room. The only drawback was the location. My daughter and I got off the train in Sintra and did not rent a car. When the taxi driver found out were we were going she did not want to take us and I could see why. As the crow flies we were 5 miles from Sintra but the road to the hotel is like a goat path the last 500 metres. If I would have known I would have rented a car. Otherwise a wonderful stay. The wifi was iffy and only available in the library. Breakfast was great and a super pool was on the premises

Perfect Christmas Gertaway
We got married at this 16th century monetary and were back for the first time since then. It is such a magical place, with winding hallways covered with artifacts, cozy fireplaces, and beautiful grounds. It is just outside the city which is a beautiful walk in and a 5-minute cab ride back. It is family run, so you will want to arrive early for check-in, then head out for your adventures. Teresa(s) were wonderful hosts for our Christmas stay. Would recommend this Quinta for anyone looking to experience the magic of Sintra.

17th century adventure in 21st century comfort.
When we walked in we were taken back by the antiquity. We were catered to as though we owned it ourselves. It's a 17th century estate. Unlike anywhere we've ever stayed. Our only regret was that we couldn't stay longer. 100% recommend it.

Magnificent Castle Experience
We spent three days immersed in the authentic old world feeling of this 16th century castle. It was one of our most memorable Expedia reservations. It is truly ancient character, so, if you are looking for modern luxury this is not for you. It is accessible by a little rocky and steep road on the Sintra Hill, but its old world charm is worth the visit. The authentic period furnishings give it extra charm. We became friends sitting around the large table for the wonderful breakfast. You can also request a wonderful evening meal. We can't wait to go back to Sintra--just to stay there!

excellent location
The room was lovely, the location is great minutes to both the beach and old town (which we thought was the best area). Breakfast was simple but a good choice continental. Parking is advertised, but you have to hope for a place on the road and one day we couldn't get a space and had to park quite away from the hotel (glad it wasn't on arrival of departure when we would have had suitcases with us). WIFI was rubbish also seemed to be dropping out contantly, and yes i know, do we need to have WIFI available when on holiday, not normally but we did as we were travelling around and needed to check things. Would we stay again, yes the location was perfect. The hotel even had umbrellas for the beach you could use.The sun loungers/shades nearest were over priced at 15 euros a day (two beds and a umbrella), walk further up the beach away from the hotel and the cost drops to 6 euros.

What an amazing treasure!
We were so surprised to step through the green door and experience the old-world charm of another time. We never would have imagined that such a gorgeous home and garden existed behind the stone wall that's visible from the road. The view overlooks the amazing Monserrat Palace on the next hilltop adjoining the property. The garden is extensive and the home is huge but the main endearing thing about this place is the warmth of the owner and her staff. We were mesmerized by their hospitality and were greeted with warm kindness. It was truly a memorable experience for our entire family. The people were just lovely!
