Wonderful wonderful

We enjoyed our stay very much - everything was perfect in the apartment which we only can recommend. Views are scenic. Our host Silvia was extremely kind, she takes so good care of her guests. We’re coming back. The area so beautiful - and great for hikers also.

Cozy central cute apartment

Wonderful property in the old town centre but quiet too. Has great views of the Sintra palace, the castle and the town hall plus the quaint cobbled back streets. It was good to meet Silvia the owner who was lovely and very knowledgeable. Would definitely recommend staying here . ( Yes you will bump your head in the bedroom as it's the attic). We loved our stay here and if we return to Sintra would stay here again .

This home is as charming as Sintra itself. We love the hand painted decor and the view from all the windows. Silvia is incredibly thoughtful, accommodating and hospitable. As our 1st trip to Portugal, we appreciated her detailed description of the home, welcome package, along with her helpful recommendations. It is centrally located yet quiet after sunset. My daughter and I miss the sound of birds chirping and stargazing through the attic windows. Silvia went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. Travel light, these small touches from drinks and biscuits to hair conditioner help us settle in comfortably. We felt joyful, relaxed and well rested during our stay. Thank you for an incredible memory of Sintra. Tips: Parque da Liberdade down the street is a gem. Playground, great bakeries, and public transportation are close by.

Very delighted!

My hostess was very communicative and very helpful with questions and suggestions. The apartment was well appointed, very clean and in a quaint area right in the heart of old Sintra (basically a couple of blocks away from the palace). I loved it. I felt very secure as a lone female traveler. I would highly recommend staying at this "home away".

Best Spot in Old Sintra

We absolutely loved the place. First off, Old Sintra has stairs and this apartment also has stairs so know that up front-end your good. Walk those small alley ways to the shops and restaurants 50ft. from your door. A fully restored, lovely old building, with excellent views and those cool breezes that Sintra is known for. Silvia, (our landlord) couldn't be nicer. Thank you, Silvia for helping make our trip to Sintra a lifetime of memories.

Wonderful views in historic Sintra Center

They say that a 5 star rating should be given if the host is responsive. Silvia was more than responsive (I won't say all she did so that people don't take advantage of her!) Best host we've had ever. The description of the apartment is 100% accurate. Wonderful views (the main reason we took it), great location in Sintra historical center...easy to walk or hire a guide wherever you want to go. Two (minor) negatives -- as the description states, the bedroom is in the attic/loft, and it's not possible to stand up. Took a few days to get used to. The other (for longer stays) is that the laundromat and grocery are more than 1 km/1 mile away -- a bit of a slog when loaded down, though after the first time we were able to figure out the best way to go and it got easier. Would recommend both this apartment and also Sintra.

Sweet stay in Sintra

This property was nothing short of perfect for us. We got turned around finding it, but the owner was quick to get back to us. The views are amazing. The home had everything we needed a nice and small kitchen which had basic necessities. We found a small mini mart to grab some water, milk, cereal and snacks right up the hill. Location couldn't be more perfect! Short walk to the stores and restaurants. You can grab a Tuk Tuk ride either by the Palace or up the hill. We walked to the Quinta da Regaleira and wandered around enjoying the sights and side streets. The traffic patterns have changed so keep that in mind when finding a parking spot. We had to go around 3 times in order to find a spot, but we were well aware of that situation when we got there. Once we parked everything was walking distance and we didn't have to move the car until we went to Lisbon. My kids (3 and 6) favorite part were the views. When we would come in at night or right after breakfast they'd sit on the bench in the living room or seat in the side room and ask for us to open the windows and they'd just hang out people watching and taking in the sights! My daughter loved pointing out the Morrish Castle from the window every chance she got. Would definitely recommend!

Apartment

The owner, Silvia was very nice and accommodating. The apartment was nice, clean and. comfortable. The bedroom I believe was once a loft space and the ceiling was very low, kept knocking our heads. Sintra was nice but you had to be very fit, no good for wheelchairs users.

Mitten in Sintra's Altstadt mit toller Aussicht!

Sehr hübsches Appartement in einer kleinen Gasse mitten in der Altstadt von Sintra. Um die Stadt und ihre wundervolle Umgebung zu erkunden, ist die Lage absolut perfekt. Super Anbindung auch mit dem Zug nach Lissabon in 40min. Die Betten waren bequem, auch die Couch im Wohnzimmer war sehr gut zum schlafen. Der Blick aus dem Fenster ist nicht zu toppen! Die Kommunikation mit der Gastgeberin war problemlos, sehr freundlich und bemüht....es gab sogar ein liebes Willkommensgeschenk;) Die Wohnung ist sauber und mit liebevollen Details eingerichtet. Lediglich die kleine Küchenecke könnte durchaus besser ausgestattet sein. Leider gab es bei Ankunft z.B. nicht mal einen Lappen, Geschirrtuch und neue Mülltüten. Es gibt keinen Backofen oder Kaffeemaschine, aber zwei Herdplatten, Kühlschrank, Wasserkocher und Toaster. Ohne Auto ist die Lage natürlich inmitten der Gässchen absolut zu empfehlen, mit Mietwagen allerdings sollte man sich bewusst sein, das man Parkplätze suchen muss und Sintra ein einziges Einbahnstraßensystem ist. Mit den Tipps der Gastgeberin im Vorraus hatten wir ab 17uhr aber immer Glück 200m weiter einen kostenfreien Parkplatz zu ergattern.

Sintra

The property is truly in the heart of the old town, overlooking the Palace: ideal for cafes, restaurants, and wandering this lovely, historic place. But it is also quiet and peaceful in the evenings, once the day trippers have departed.. Silvia and Mario were so helpful, meeting us just after our arrival and recommending many useful places to visit and practical points about the accommodation - thank you.

Beautiful place to stay and so convenient

Silvia made us very welcome and when we arrived very late and there were tea bags and cookies some oil and honey condiments and a bottle of wine. The place was immaculate and the view out of the windows was magical. We made great friends with the owner and staff of the Bacalhau de Vila restaurant, 50 mtrs down the road who are absolutely lovely people. In fact everyone we met in Sintra were so kind. Definitely a place I will return to. One suggestion, if you have a hire car, I found the only place (and it's free) to park was opposite Restaurante Dona Maria on the N375 which is the one way street at the top of R Costa do Castelo. It is impossible to park there from 09:00-18:00 but after that if you park your car near the recycle bins and go up every 20 mins (don't leave it too long unless you are in a parking slot) you will probably find someone moving out of the free spaces. It's worth the small bit of effort and the exercise counts towards your 10,000 steps to keep you healthy. ;-)

Appartement confortable en plein centre ville historique

Appartement coquet et confortable. Idéalement situé en plein centre historique de Sintra, avec en prime une vue superbe sur le Palais. Place de parking gratuit et facile d'accès à proximité (à condition de circuler en dehors des heures de pointe). Silvia est une hôtesse très agréable avec qui la communication est très facile et qui nous a donné de nombreux conseils et suggestions. Nous reviendrons sans hésiter.

Fairy-tale land

Our family loved staying in what seemed to be a home and small village right out of the pages of a children's book. Every view from any of the windows was picture perfect. Our family truly enjoyed our time here. This little village "old town" was buzzing during the day as day visitors from Lisbon came in but as the day came to a close the little streets were quiet and so peaceful. All of this and the fact that Silvia is an absolute sweetheart. She was so helpful and easy to communicate with from the booking process all the way to our departure. Thank you Silvia! XOXO
