The house is somewhat damp, like a basement, and needs a dehumidifier running at all times! There was one I located inside the house that I turned on that filled up quickly and seemed to help the dampness immediately.

Very personal touches from the host and her mother who left us a fresh bouquet of flowers, a homemade cake, a small bottle of wine, along with some other snacks on the kitchen counter and in the fridge. These were very thoughtful and much appreciated! It is a bit of a hike to the city center but worth it when you get to the top! Makes this a great location to stay!

Homely, comfortable and well-situated accommodation, 350m away from the Palacio Nacional in the main square of old Sintra on quite a steep road. There is a lovely forest view from the kitchen window. Beatriz and her mother Isabel were very welcoming and generous with treats, including home-made jam and a delicious apple crumble.

The rain came into the house a bit but to be fair, we had a deluge and it was unusually cold. A bit tired in places but cosy living area.

The host and her mum were delightful, the house is well equipped and comfortable, the wood burner was great as the weather was dreadful. Very lovely homey touches including a cake and wine to welcome us. Huge thank you to our hosts.

The bed in the small bedroom was a bit small for our adult son, who is admittedly very tall and big!

Beatriz and her mother were exceptional hostesses! Beatriz answered questions for us before we arrived so that our visit went more smoothly. We arrived to find that her mother had baked us a lemon cake, and had ensured that we were supplied with fresh milk, bread and crackers, coffee and tea, and ham and cheese, so that we could have breakfast there our first morning. We really appreciated that! They were both very friendly and helpful. The little house felt like a real home.

The little chalet was very close to the city centre. It had 2 bedrooms and a comfortable kitchen and living room. Our hosts were excellent. Beatrice and her mum were so friendly and was avaliable for any issues we had. The small touches like milk and bread and breakfast items in the fridge and a homemade cake were wonderful. The place is good value for money.

There was a musty smell.

Location was great. Could walk to restaurants and sights from accommodation. Host and greeting along with goodies was excellent.

It is a charming apartment located only 10 minute walk to the centre of Sintra. The National Palace and all local dining facilities are only a short walk away. So you can come and go as you please. Our hosts were so kind and accommodating, with refreshments at the apartment on our arrival, which was very much appreciated. The apartment had a lovely bohemian feel to it, very much in the spirit of Sintra itself.

The house was very spacious and decorated beautifully. Large outdoor space was great. The hosts were wonderful. Delicious homemade cake, wine and couvert were waiting for us upon check in. Very close to town with a short uphill walk. Highly recommend.

The bed was quite hard. I tore a hole in one of my socks on a nail in the floor. It had a musty smell and was a bit cold. The electric heater didn't work so it was a little hard to dry clothes.

Close to the centre and National Palace. Super friendly hosts. Pretty garden. Felt private. Nice cake and wine on arrival. Great to have freshly ground coffee. There were washing powder tablets for the washing machine. The lounge was comfortable. It's generally a nice property and close to attractions yet quiet.

The house needed very regular airing. This is fine in hot weather like we had but if the weather isn't very good you probably wouldn't want to have the windows and doors open a lot.

I loved the authentic nature of the house. It was decorated beautifully in a traditional Portuguese way. Every time I looked I spotted something new. The hostesses left some lovely welcoming gifts which was a kind touch. They were very helpful and friendly. They resolved the issue of lack of WIFI and electricity in one room quickly. The house is perfectly located for the stunning and bustling historic centre of Sintra yet is in a quiet location - the best of both worlds.

The hosts were amazing! So kind and helpful. There was a welcome breakfast basket. There is street parking outside but limited and the road is quite steep! The house is perfect for a stay in Sintra, it has a lovely private courtyard with evening sun, the kitchen has everything you need. It feels like home. The location is great for visiting Sintra. I would definitely recommend this place and hope to stay again.

Some maintenance required in the bathroom as there were exposed electrical wires near a plug.

Excellent hosts - very friendly and welcoming (even though we were frightfully late) Both Beatriz and Isabel were charming. Isabel made us the best apple crumble I have ever tasted. Thank you. Lovely accomodation in a gorgeous garden. It had its own garen which was great for our dogs. It rained for most of our stay and we tried to keep their dirty paws off things so apologise. Location is superb - a 300 metre walk to the heart of Sintra.

The location is absolutely perfect. Short walk to the heart of the city. Great hosts and place to stay. Couldn't have been in a better location

Nothing.

Beatriz and Isabel are the kindest and nicest hosts. They were waiting for us despite our arrival was a bit late, to give us the keys by hand and explain us everything in detail. The house is really charming, comfortable and full of flowers and many details that made us feel like home. We were traveling with my dog and there was any problem. We even had our little garden so that she could enjoy the sun in the mornings and breath fresh air. Furthermore, in 2 minutes walking you're in Sintra's centre. No doubt, we'll repeat in our next visit to the town.

Fantastic apartment filled with charm and character. Beautiful outside space with well-tended plants and flowers. Hosts couldn't be more welcoming and helpful. Fully recommend.

Nothing wrong, but since it’s an old house, maybe they can do some renovations, it will make the house even better!

The location is so well, you can walk around Sintra easily. And the room is so quiet and comfy, my dog absolutely enjoyed it!!!

Stayed in June 2021

It had a bad mold smell, and needed to be upgraded, bed was old and not comfortable, it was clean old, we opened all the windows and that helped, bathroom was old and towels were old

It was roomy and fine location, host was kind

Uf...where do I begin? The house itself should not be used for tourism, at least not in the current shape and with the current design. It is an old lady's house, with minimum improvements. Although we really really loved the host, we hope to never experience such stay again. House: very humid, all the bedsheets were constantly wet. There is dampness all over the place, we used the purifier device present and bought some or our own, no change. There is a constant unpleasant smell throughout the house that won't go away even after whole days of open windows and placing fresheners everywhere. It is an odour of wet, old and wall mold. Bathroom: awful. There is a mockery of a door, no ventilation. We tried to go as much as possible while we were out visiting. Spiders all over the place. Dust in lots of places. During our stay (3 days), once they were in our kids had red eyes and running noses from the allergy. Again, the place should not be used for tourism.

Very friendly host, warm welcome with a nice gift: homemade apple pie, some wine. The house has enough space for a family, nice little garden. The town of Sintra is spectacular and is way cooler than Lisbon, which is perfect for hot summer days.
