About this house rental

The excellent location of this house in the heart of the historic center, very close to shops and restaurants, but in a very quiet small square, allows you to visit most of the most important monuments of Sintra on foot.
(Palácio da Vila is just 200 meters away, Quinta da Regaleira is 700 meters away, Seteais Palace Gardens are 1.1 km away, Pena Palace and Gardens are 2.1 km away, Moorish Castle is 2.3 km away and Monserrate Palace and Gardens are 3.3 km away).

Recent renovation of a mid 1800’s house, this lovely duplex features decorative paintings on the walls and offers all the amenities you will need during your stay in Sintra.

The first floor has an open space with a double chaise longue, a double day bed, window seat and a well equipped open-plan kitchen. Also in this floor you can find a bathroom with double sinks and a spacious shower as well as a closed veranda overlooking Sintra’s “Palácio da Vila”, where you can enjoy a drink while watching the sunset after a long day discovering Sintra.

In the attic, you will find a cosy bedroom with twin beds and two large windows overlooking the village plaza and surrounding countryside (maximum ceiling height 1,75 meters)

This house accommodates up to 4 persons (the living area contains a day bed that can easily provide 2 additional sleeping accommodations) and is specially indicated for couples and small families. A cot may be added, on request, at no extra charge.


Sintra: Few places in the world can envoke a sense of magic and mystery as does Sintra. From magical forests to romantic palaces Sintra never fails to seduce. Described by Lord Byron as “Glorious Eden,” Sintra’s charms have long been celebrated. Once the summer residence of the kings of Portugal and of the Moorish lords of Lisbon before them, today Sintra is a romantic getaway for people from all around the world. The UNESCO Committee decided to inscribe Sintra as a World Heritage Site at the category of Cultural Landscape, because: 'the site is of outstanding universal value as it represents a pioneering approach to Romantic landscaping which had an outstanding influence on developments elsewhere in Europe.'
This magical place is dominated by steep mountains and lush forests which create a microclimate, always several degrees cooler than Lisbon. Hosting beautiful palaces with neo-gothic towers, a visit to Sintra is a must

Other ways to discover in Sintra: In addition to the usual activities, we also suggest:
Take a trolley ride from Sintra to Praia das Maçãs;
Visit a wine cellar, 'Adega Regional de Colares';
Take afternoon tea at Lawrence's Hotel (the most ancient hotel in Iberia peninsula);
Drink water in the fountain, 'Fonte da Sabuga' (whoever drinks this water will surely return to Sintra);
Specially for the children, visit 'Quintinha Pedagógica' in Monserrate Park.

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 .

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.

Right in the center & beautiful view. Suggestions: bring any needed groceries with you, walk up behind Tacho Real for Uber rides to Pena, and playground down the steps. Will recommend!

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.

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!

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.
