Ultimate rural relaxation. The host was outstanding.

Probablement l’un des meilleurs endroits dans lequel nous avons pu séjourner. Je recommande très fortement 😉

Beautiful historical landmark property. We truly feel fortunate to have experienced it!

Algo caro

We enjoyed our stay immensely! Two couples had a week in this special property and we would love to come back. Marta was a dear host! We appreciated the walk in to Sintra sites and the driver Antonio that Marta arranged took 2 of us to “do” Lisbon whilst our husbands ride bikes to the beach. It was a short drive to the gorgeous beaches and Sintra itself was wonderful! We feel very lucky to have had this property as our base.

Charming house and secluded property. We enjoyed having breakfast outside watching the sunrise and a glass of wine in the evening watching the sunset. Marta was a wonderful host. She took the time to inform us about the property and local attractions and restaurants. Marta also provided a nice welcome gift basket. Very thoughtful. Highly recommended!

Superb

Driving through Sintra is definitely not relaxing but arriving at the property was worth it. We missed the left turn immediately after the BP station on the outskirts of Sintra, but if you get this right, the instructions are good. The house is lovely and the views spectacular. Thoroughly recommend!

This is a stunning spot - a beautiful oasis! Marta is a fabulous host and is very responsive to her guests needs. She provided a wonderful dinner for us on the first night and breakfasts items. She even brought us a high chair and baby crib for our daughter. If this place is available you should book it. The weather was a little cold when we were there March/April and the house does not have central heating so next time we’ll book in the warmer months! This place is truly spectacular though.

Estancia excepcional. La propietaria es muy amable y nos obsequio con un pack de bienvenida que nos permitió cenar y desayunar el día de llegada. Rodeada de un frondoso bosque,la casa tiene unas vistas excepcionales, con una tranquilidad absoluta. Totalmente recomendable

We had a wonderful time at Casa de Boica. The house is clean, welcoming, and handsome. The grounds (once the site of a monastery) are exquisite, with picturesque views and unforgettable sunsets. After a day spent touring Sintra and the surrounding areas, it was refreshing to come back to the house and take a dip in the pool, hang out in the lemon grove, or walk along one of the many trails. Inside the house is comfortable; we took advantage of the nice-sized kitchen and prepared many meals (which we ate outside). And even during the height of summer the temperature inside stayed cool. The house is conveniently located right outside of Sintra but feels miles away. With a very long unpaved driveway and no neighbors in sight, you’ll think you’re the only ones on this side of the mountain. Our host Marta greeted us upon arrival with a delicious lunch and fresh fruit and vegetables from her garden. She made herself available to answer any questions we had about the house or sites nearby. We were traveling with our 18 month old son, which proved to be a bit of challenge, as the house isn’t the most toddler friendly (there was a crib and some toys), but we managed to make it work rather quickly. Suffice it to say, he had a great time as well. If you’re looking for an unforgettable stay with convenience, space, and fantastic scenery, look no further than Casa de Boica.

This glorious house nestles on the steep side of a wooded valley with tremendous views to the west and northwards to the Atlantic coast. The weather patterns are forever changeable because of the topography and the fabulous quality of the light is a constantly-changing photographer’s delight. The house is accessed by a narrow lane to the estate gate and then a steep gravel drive down to the house itself. The woods are dense, steep and full of great variety of ancient trees. There are a few paths & tracks available but it is hard to judge the full extent of the property due to the terrain. Nevertheless there are plenty of lovely, well-kept spaces and terraces around the house to enjoy the location to the full. It is a truly remarkable place. The house is well-kept and beautifully furnished with antiques, painting etc and has a fantastic homely quality. All the facilities worked well and our 10-day stay was utterly trouble-free in all respects. The owners left us a comprehensive welcome package of food and the efficient and polite cleaners appeared twice a week. We wanted for nothing and the quite luxurious environment meant we were tempted to just stay in the quinta for the whole holiday. However the local historic gardens and architecture of Sintra beckoned and we found that we could easily walk to the town centre in 15-20 minutes with the local attractions and restaurants right on hand or nearby. Sintra is very busy during the day with day-trips from Lisbon, but lovely and quiet in the evenings. We had some good meals out and the moonlit walks back to Quinta da Boica to the magical background of fireflies and the singing frogs were just magical. We have over the years tried to find special places with some sense of individuality for our family holidays with a good balance of comfort, practicality and easy access to local interests. It is never an easy task each year and now it will be so much harder as Quinta da Boica has just raised the bar so much. It is simply the best place we have ever stayed.....
