The bed mattress probably could be renewed at some point, as there is a some wear on it, however it did not detract from the sleep quality for us at all. You are required to have a car to stay at the property.

You might be reading this and thinking - 10/10, too good to be true right? Maybe there is a catch? There isn't one. It is just that good. If there is availability on your dates stop wasting time looking and just book this now. For the price of a hotel on the coast you get a whole guest house with a maximum of 4 guests at any given time, your own pool and a wonderful garden. In our case there was no other booking for most of the time we stayed, so we had the entire property to ourselves. It is nice and quiet, everything is well insulated against sound as well. The water pressure is great, the hot water never runs out, the place is spotlessly clean etc. The place is great regardless if you just want to chill by the pool or use it as a base to explore Sintra, Queluz and Lisbon. It is situated right in the middle of the former three placing most of the sightseeing just a short trip away. The host (Ricardo) deserves a special mention - he caters to your every whim. Because he is completely dedicated to making your stay enjoyable there are often little things he notices and does before you even have to ask. Nothing beats personal service: attention to detail immeasurably better than any large hotel, while the quality of the facilities exceeds most of them by far. He pours his heart and soul into this and it shows - every little detail is just right.

We had the pleasure of staying in a stunning room booked through Ricardo, who was exceptionally welcoming and generous as our host. The place exudes tasteful design at every turn, showcasing a passion for art and hosting. The breakfast provided was not only fresh but also a testament to the meticulous effort and artistic flair invested in every detail. It was truly an unforgettable experience.

My only problem is with how far this place is!

Well, where can I start with this?! The property is stunning, I am sure you have seen the photos - but the host Ricardo takes the experience to another level. He was very accomodating and exceptionally attentive, without lurking around or anything like that. I booked this stay for my birthday and i knew it was going to be amazing, but i still wasnt ready! when i stepped through the gates, I was honestly taken aback and was glad to have a sit down and a drink to take it all in! Ricardo was very efficient upon arrival. He gave me my key, showed me around the entire property and then left me to my own devices This is Ricardo's family property, and they stay on the other side that you would be staying in. The whole time i was there I think i came across the family dog Brenda more than I did Ricardo! Despite it being such a beautiful property, the hosts are not hovering or checking up on you. I felt like I was at home and had my own privacy. I cannot find a single fault with this stay in all honesty. Nothing was too much for Ricardo, and the surpises were endless! Despite this stay being a little over my usual budget, I have already made the intention to return in the future! if you are on the fence, get off and make the booking! It is so worth it, i promise

Nothing to say here - everything was perfect

This was a marvellous choice. The property exceeded all our expectations and we enjoyed a thoroughly personal service from the owner, Ricardo, who takes special care in providing attention to every detail, so that guests feel comfortable, well looked after and perfectly at home. The property is spotlessly clean, and the service is equivalent to a 5* hotel. We would thoroughly recommend it to everyone.

No complaints!

Wow! Beautiful property and welcoming hospitality to make the perfect stay. Ricardo goes above and beyond to make you feel at home and taken care of. The accommodations are both special and comfortable in addition to being close to Sintra. Great breakfast and treats! If you have the chance to stay here, take it. It was a highlight of our Portugal trip. I hope I get to return someday.

Most comfortable bed in all of Portugal! Ricardo is fastidious in his attention to detail, and that makes all the difference to a traveler. He will take care of needs you didn’t even know you had! Thank you Ricardo for making our time at Quinta das Pedras wonderful!

It’s too far from Romania and we can’t come every month. :( (Joke)

From where to start? The property is amazing. The pool, the gardens, the terrace, the room, everything was amazing and well decorated and also sparkling clean. The host, Ricardo, is an amazing person. He welcomed us with a bottle of rose wine on property’s amazing terrace. He offered us treats every night.We didn’t saw someone more carefully, perfectionist and attention at details person. He is such a kind man, he takes care of your stay to be perfect. Also, the breakfast prepared by Ricardo was perfect, tasty and colorful with a lovely plating. He also has great wines so you can enjoy an evening on the terrace. Thank you, Ricardo!🙏

Perfect in every way! The Quinta is so stunningly beautiful, everything is spottlessly clean and Ricardo, the host, is the nicest guy you can imagine. He also gave us wonderful tips during our stay and made an amazing breakfast. We spent 4 nights there - next time it will be a week. It was so peaceful, relaxing and very special. Thank you, Ricardo!

Our host made this an exceptional visit. No one could be more caring and helpful. We want to thank him for making this stay so memorable. The gardens are an artistic triumph. Each plant contributes to the exquisite visual treat. Inside, the place is an artistic treasure and a story of the many travels of his grandparents. I miss being there now!

vacation over and not able to enjoy more time in there.

The host attention is superb only overcome by his respect about your privacy to enjoy freely the property. breakfast: the quality and quantity will fuel your day The place and the facilities speak by themselves when you take a look at the photos: heaven surrounded by paradise. But you will really appreciate what we mean, once you get there and you are be able to feel the calm and the exclusiveness by yourself. very convenient spot to visit Lisbon, Sintra, Obidos and so on. Far away from the traffic and noise but close enough to get the capital in just 15-20min by car.

This was by far the best place we ever had till now. We would give 12 points out of 10 for Ricardo's Quinta das Pedras. A place of peace. Wonderful garden with pont and salt-swimingpool. Exellent breakfast. Better than any hotel

That we had to leave.

Quinta Das Pedras is a wonderful place to stay, Ricardo has created something very special and unique. He has beautifully renovated the property to a high standard and thought of literately everything from the design, the grounds right through to high end touches. There are only two rooms which creates a hugely personalised experience. It was wonderful.

Stayed in April 2023

Only downside is the location - there is not much in Belas so, make sure you get dinner before you return. That being said, it is a very central location if you want a base to explore the greater Lisbon area - 20 mins from Sintra, 30 from Mafra, Estonia and Cascais.

So, much to like! Small, only two rooms, but perfectly formed. The grounds are beautiful with contemplative gardens, and the pools. Rooms are well appointed, spacious with super comfortable beds. There is a common area for use by guests, with couches, TV, coffee, tea, that you can use at any time. Breakfast is a good continental breakfast. But, what makes it special is all the little extras - wine on your arrival, little snacks in your room each night, Port and Chocolates in the common room in the evening. The service was amazing - the 1st day I mentioned I didn't eat cow's milk, the next day at breakfast there was sheep and goats milk cheese for me. That's just one example of great service we received throughout. An excellent place to stay!

Nothing. I wish we could have stayed longer. :)

We loved everything about our stay! The rooms, the outdoor areas, the house, the gardens, breakfast, Ricardo! I understand why the property receives a '10'. Everything was perfect. Ricardo was great even before our arrival with his communication. It was an incredible balance of feeling like you had the place to yourselves, but Ricardo also being available if you needed anything. He even helped make dinner reservations for us. I already knew before we arrived that I was going to want to stay longer - one night was too short. Everything was such a treat. Ricardo's welcome, the tour of the place, the breakfast (everything was delicious - oh, I already mentioned breakfast haha). The rooms had everything you needed - well thought out outlets and lights, hairdryer, closet, fridge, etc. We used this place as a home base for visiting Sintra's palaces, and it was convenient with our car. We felt so lucky to enjoy coffee and walk the grounds in the morning while listening to birds chirping. Ricardo went above and beyond, and we are so glad that he and his family decided to share their home with travelers. I want to keep this place a secret but everyone should experience Quinta das Pedras.
