    Charming, cozy villa in a terrific location. Close to restaurants and a quick taxi to the old town and castles. Free parking across the street. Stayed for one night but will happily return for a longer stay!

    The overhang above the entrance door was very low. Cristina, the woman who greeted us on our arrival pointed it out and warned me about it which I appreciated. I never hit my head, but I was always very conscious of it when we left or returned to the unit. This wasn’t a big problem.

    Very comfortable two-bedroom unit. We appreciated the kitchen facilities since we had to leave early for the airport and we were able to still have an adequate breakfast before leaving. It was also nice that there were a few restaurants right by the property so we could get a late lunch before we set out exploring.

    We loved the property- it had everything you needed and was decorated beautifully. There are some nice cafes/ restaurants right by the villas. Our host was very thoughtful and helped us move all our luggage into our taxi, when it was pouring down with rain, and made sure we were comfortable. Definitely recommend staying here!

    A light interrupter close to the bed would have been perfect.

    I couldn't have asked for better. My stay was very comfortable and I'm picky about hotels. The carpets looked clean. The bed was very comfortable along with the pillows. It was perfectly clean. The towels were thick, soft, and spotless. The room was homey. I loved the appliances they are retro chic. The dishes are perfectly clean I loved the nice touch with fruits and a big water bottle left in the refrigerator. The temperature in the room was perfect. Congratulations for a perfectly kept facility.

    No place to put suitcases in the bedroom. Wasn’t a problem because we needed to repack them & used the living area floor to spread out.

    Lovely setting in a great location with everything we needed! Very friendly & helpful hosts.

    Cute, authentic, clean, designed to feel very private, free parking, easy to find, and easy access. Rooms are spacious for Europe; perfect for a family of 5. Beds are comfortable. Facilities appeared recently renovated and are very charming. Kitchen facilities nicely stocked with essentials to cook and eat in. Nuno is an awesome gracious host. He greeted us on arrival, gave clear directions, and recommended food places. Don’t miss the bakery next door, as it sells Sintra’s specialty pastry, sourced from the original bakery from center Sintra.

    Beautiful space and location.

    The only negative was the lack of what we consider air conditioning. The area was experiencing a heat wave and the only air conditioning was one cooling fan that used ice packs for the small apartment. It was not so bad for my kids and I but my husband had difficulty sleeping with the heat and woke up during the night to switch out the ice packs. It looked like some of the other rooms had air conditioning units but not our apartment for 2 adults and 2 children.

    The staff was excellent and the apartment was beautiful. The location was great with easy parking across the street. It is a hike into the central part of town which would not have been an issue with older kids except for the heat wave in early August. It was about a 25 min walk down hill to the main part of town and to the train station. Once we parked our rental it was best to leave it parked there and walk or take Ubers to other parts of the town. We enjoyed the small pond and garden in the courtyard area in the evenings. I enjoyed the quieter area and it was fun to walk around the surrounding neighborhood.

    What a fabulous find. We were greeted by Nuno who was incredibly helpful and informative even with advice planning our time in Sintra. The apartment was lovely with fabulous details and breakfast delicious. There was even a secluded little garden to relax in. Fabulous position to explore the town. Thank you so much

    A comfortable villa with a local feel

    The parking is public (but free) so you have to be lucky to get a spot. Sintra is an extremely busy tourist spot with very narrow roads to share between buses, pedestrians, bikes, tuk-tuks. The villa is close enough to use tuk-tuks and public transport. Walking to the sights from the villa is possible but not always comfortable.

    We liked that it had a little kitchenette to self-cater our breakfast. The room has been recently renovated and the decor is neat. It's clean, comfortable, and reasonably close to the sights of Sintra. There are enough cafe's and restaurants very near the villa that it's not necessary to go into Sintra Centro for eating. The host of the property is a genuinely nice and helpful person. He gave us a few great tips, a fruit bowl, and helped us with the parking.
