The lock of our apartment did not work. We had to be move to an other room (a better room, Thaks) but after a long and difficult process. Parking is a mess

We took the train from Rossio Lisbon to Sintra and walked with our roller bags to the historic center. The route takes you on the perimeter of a lovely park with sculptures along the way. We made our way to Casa da Pendoa and got checked in by a very helpful and personable clerk, who also carried our bags down the outdoor street stairs to where our room was located. We had a studio with a kitchenette, which was fine and comfortable for one night. However, there was a bit of a moldy smell emanating from the kitchen sink--I wouldn't have wanted to cook there! There's also very little in the way of groceries or provisions available in the old town. We had dinner at a nearby restaurant that was recommended by the hotel clerk, and it was fantastic. The tour of Pena Palace and all of the magnificent views between Sintra's old town and the Atlantic Ocean added a lot to our first visit to Portugal. I expect that we'll be back!

Lovely little gem. We booked a one bedroom apartment for us with a extra bed for my daughter. The perks of off season travel is we were given a larger two bedroom apartment for no additional charge. A treat! So glad we stayed two nights in Sintra!

Great value for money, perfect location, very spacious rooms, the botle of port and the fresh bread on the door in the morning was very nice touch. Staff was very helpful and informative with all information on local places of interest and restaurants to visit.

We enjoyed our stay a lot. The location of the apartment is superb: it is in the center, but on a small quiet side street. It is comfortable and clean. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The price included a “breakfast basket” (crackers, cheese, butter and marmalade) and fresh bread every morning. Upon our arrival we were offered a bottle of wine (the owners are wine makers). The apartment is equipped with all the necessary utilities, including a dishwasher and a coffeemaker. Everything was in perfect order, except for the fan (heater) in the bathroom, but we easily did without it. I can recommend this place to couples and families as it is spacious enough.

everything was good, staff was super nice, but the apartment itself is a bit away from the center, so it’s quite dark and quite.

We made the reservation super last minute and Manuela was so very friendly and accommodating! It was super clean and cozy. We wished we could have stayed a couple more nights!

Fresh bread delivered to your door every morning! Great touch. And a view of a cat townhouse across the street...

Great location, friendly managers, amazing views! Mattresses could be updated however, which is my only complaint (the coils in the mattress make it very uncomfortable to sleep on your side). However, I would still stay here again, because the view and the wee kitchen were perfect! Apparently we were in the 'smallest' room, but it was exactly what we needed. We were in the separate building a block away from the main one. This building was great and had a fantastic shared terrace, with the most amazing view! Update the mattresses, and I'd want to move in here forever :)

Great location. Easy to get around town. Although no formal breakfast they delivered fresh bread every morning.

Iris was very helpful in showing us how to make the most of our 2 night stay.

I really enjoyed staying at Casa da Pendoa! The hotel manager/owner kindly welcomed me upon my arrival, explaining about basic things about the property and suggesting the itineraries of Sintra (his suggestion worked very well!). He upgraded my room so I could have a bigger and better room. I really appreciated it! The room is HUGE and very clean and convenient (with kitchen and table and a welcome basket)! It is facing toward the mountain and Quinta da Regaleira so the view is just striking! I loved to look at awe-inspiring big trees and the sunset in the evening. I am so happy to choose to stay at Casa da Pendoa for my last stay in Portugal.

The location is excellent even though a bit difficult to find at first. It is near restaurants, shops and the main plaza of the town. The place has all the amenities needed for a comfortable stay and the staff are very accommodating.

What a wonderful place to stay in Sintra! Yes, the drive into town can be difficult and parking hard during tourist season (had we been able to do so it would've been better to check in late in the day when there was more space and fewer people walking in the streets). The staff were SO super helpful and friendly - on multiple fronts!! Thank you. The rooms were quiet and very stylish (2 bedrooms with a small kitchen and tasty welcome basket) and it was super easy to walk into town through the adorable streets of Sintra. We were able to find a taxi up to the Pena Palace (cheaper than paying for four bus tickets) and then we walked down through the gardens of Pena ("valley of the lakes" direction) then over to Villa Sassetti and back into town. Helpful tip --- if it's high season, the line at the Pena Palace for the 'inside/stateroom' may be WAY long. The cheaper 'Pena parc' tickets still get you onto the terraces, which you can spend an hour on alone just taking in the colors and views. P.S. Fun stop at A'moura on the walk back to the center for a white port tasting (super knowledgeable, friendly, great energy of the owner).
