Susan
Location was perfect we could walk everywhere and the local bus and train services were close and easy to use. The hotel offered an oasis to return to at the end of a busy day sightseeing. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, which included four days sightseeing in Sintra and one day in Lisbon. We arranged a car to transport us to and from the airport, that the hotel recommended and Nuno could not have been more helpful.
Nicholas
I love this place - it has character, a great location, and feels like a little piece of old school glamour, albeit rough round the edges in places. This was a repeat visit after six years away. The breakfast was lovely, the property is really special. We stayed in a room away from the main house and had our own little outdoor area - slightly tired, but then the character of the place makes up for this, it feels so much more charming than soulless chain hotels.
Michelle
Aside from arriving early and a bit of confusion with the front enterance our stay was beautiful, unique and wonderful. We loved being in Sintra when the tourists had not arrived yet for the day; it made us appreciate its beauty and the special aspect of staying in town all the better. The hotel met our expectations and added an extra special quaint aspect to our trip to Portugal.
Aubrey
Casa Holstein Quinta de São Sebastião is a beautiful survivor of the golden age of Sintra mansions. The grounds are stunning and the location is fantastic. The morning breakfast was a continental type of high quality ingredients, however after a few day it did get tedious. The hotel is in need of a major refreshment, most of the pretty antiques in our room were sagging and stained. We really enjoyed the ensuite bath and extra room that we had access too. The staff was friendly and English was not a problem, however they will sometimes disappear. I think like many small hotels the staff is stretched thin. Our initial plan was to spend the week in Sintra, but when the internet failed after our first night we decided to move to Lisbon and we left on Thursday. Although the internet failure was not necessarily the hotels fault we found it to be a deal breaker as everything in the Sintra area requires planning and timed tickets. The staff was very understanding and let us check out three days early with a refund. I would stay again, its a beautiful survivor of the grand mansions of Sintra with a great location and romantic grounds and views of the wonderful Sintra area.
Brad
Nice quiet location in a beautiful setting. Great Tavern nearby! :)
Kelly
The entire property here felt like a fairytale. The staff are wonderful and the room I stayed in was very charming and cozy. Definitely check this hotel out if you’re headed to Sintra!
Neil
Swimming pool was to cold to try to early in the season.
Ken
A little confused upon arrival…. Difficult to determine how to access the property. However, provided you follow the instructions provided, someone will open the gate. Parking was secure (and plentiful). We were able to leave our bags early in the morning and went back later to check in…. They even took our bags to our room. Property is perfectly situated… short walk to restaurants, train station and attractions. Staff were amazing, and breakfast was phenomenal.
Jennifer
Fun place with lots of character. A former estate. Well located near center of Sintra. Quiet with lots of charm
Michelle
The hotel is very quiet and peaceful, yet located close enough to historic center. Lots of nature at your footsteps. The breakfast is perfect for light eaters. The room is what is expected from a historical inn. The only downside is the availability of on site staff. This was not a major problem but when arriving you need a gate code to access parking.
Kathleen
This hotel was the best during my 3 week stay in Portugal. What a beautiful, romantic and lovely property!
John
This is one of the most beautiful hotels we’ve ever stayed at. We were sick so we spent most of our time in the hotel room and it was so comfortable and quiet. The staff was so nice and even moved us to another room when there was a leaky roof. The breakfast was yummy. I would recommend this hotel to anyone. Do be aware that it’s quite a walk uphill when you leave.
Reef
Couldn’t reccomend more. A true fairytale.
Lauren
Great breakfast, rooms and parking!
Doug
It's a step back in time to an earlier era. Over two hundred years of history. It's it's a must stay location in Sintra. stayocation
Blair
Beautiful boutique hotel. Wonderful staff. Very unique and historic property. Little slice of heaven. Breakfast was adequate but not overly impressive. Would definitely stay again
Sandra
It was an amazing experience. It is a shame that it is further to Quinta da Regaleira than what Expedia advertises but it is still walking distance, just mot 10 min and rather 30 minutes. The staff was extremely nice and the breakfast delicious
Emma
A super hotel situated in an absolutely beautiful spot in Sintra. It was an easy walk into Sintra old town and the staff were so helpful and knowledgeable about the area, Rita even booked us an evening meal at a local restaurant. The hotel was stunning and full of beautiful architecture.
Lori
Overall a good location, spacious room and a property with lots of potential. Staff was efficient, though front desk was not consistently staffed. Continental breakfast was nice & well organized but not spectacular. Our shower had a broken door and the room could have used a good cleaning, as the floors were gritty. Be aware that if you have a room on the ground level, the building is not well insulated so you will hear every footstep should a guest be in the second floor room above you. A very good location and excellent choice for independent travellers.
Daryl
Nice room, great place. Enjoyed the free breakfast.
Robert
We enjoyed our stay at Casa Holstein. It's a little tricky to get to, just keep going down the hill through the big green gates. There is lots of room for parking inside the gates. It's very old but very well maintained. The surrounding property must be lovely in spring and summer. The Royal Suite is very nice. There are very good restaurants nearby. Use the nearby bus service to get to the palaces. Driving to them is not helpful because the roads are closed to personal cars. The staff at Casa Holstein was excellent!
Jeff
Great stay, great breakfast. However, breakfast not served until 9am - that’s too late for tourists planning to take in a full day of Sintra’s many historic sites. Plus, no coffee available in the room, just tea, so early risers like me have to leave the premises to seek out a cafe, or wait…. The room we stayed in (#7) felt very damp and humid, and running the A/C didn’t seem to help much. Finally, room #7 needs a new small fridge - current one gurgles and hums very loudly and pts locally non-stop. Overall though, a beautiful hotel and room as well as surrounding gardens, and attentive staff.
Pasquale
We absolutely loved our stay! The views were stunning, the setting was peaceful and private, and having easy parking made everything in town so convenient. From the moment we checked in until the moment we left, everything felt easy and welcoming. We’d come back in a heartbeat — this place is a true hidden gem!
Chris
A really unique property. We had a fabulous stay. Thank you

Clyde
Loved our stay in Sintra. centrally located, no worries about parking and beautifully quiet. Really enjoyed our time with you.
Chase
I had a wonderful stay here. The grounds are absolutely beautiful—spacious, peaceful, and surrounded by nature with amazing views in every direction. The pool area feels private and secluded, perfect for relaxing in the sun. My room was very cute and homey, comfortable in a way that made it feel more like a retreat than just a hotel stay. On top of that, the staff were incredibly kind and welcoming, always making me feel taken care of.
Overall, it’s the perfect spot if you’re looking for a quiet escape with charm and character. Highly recommend!

Kristin
Everything! This was the most magical stay. Perfect everything. Reminder us of staying in a mini fairytale castle or something out of Bridgerton. Staff extremely kind and helpful, very clean, stunning grounds, walkable to everything in Sintra. If you are driving the parking is so easy and spacious. This was our favourite stay in Portugal.
Tim
Loved how quiet the property was.
Pamella
Gorgeous place, in the city center, but still feels very peaceful.
Ana
Special, intimate and wonderful!
The place was amazing, the views, the privacy and the parking options were outstanding. The breakfast was good, with good choices. From the registration to check out, we enjoyed every bit. Would visit again. It's a hidden gem.
Rosa
It was excellent!
JOSEPH
Nice quiet and secluded place. Friendly staff. Room was just a bit old and dated for our taste. The shower door leaks on the floor....should repair door.
ANDRE
Location, quiet, private area for pool, could wonder around property, breakfast.
Carly
Staying here is like entering into a fairytale. The views are gorgeous and it feels very private even though you are just minutes walk to town.
Kim
A quaint and charming place to stay. Great parking. Easy to walk to the historic district and easy access to train/bus station. Property needs some overall general upkeep. The shower leaked flooding the bathroom floor as the caulking was missing. The sealing strip was moldy and needs replacing. Everything else was very clean. Breakfast was ok. Pastries and breads delicious but vegetables old and dry. Awesome to have a carafe of coffee and hot milk to enjoy a nice cuppa or 2 in the morning.
Marina
this hotel does not match the interior content from the photo. It is very old inside, with a moldy smell. I arrived on Saturday: a woman met me, and then left the hotel and on Sunday there was no one at the reception either.
Rita
Beautiful location but difficult to find the entrance.
Josée
Superbe
Nous avons adoré l'endroit bucolique. Le seul point négatif a été qu'on s'est fait réveiller tôt le 2e matin par une équipe de tournage qui a envahi le site.
Patricia
This property is in lovely setting. Very close To many of the areas attractions, yet private and a little off the beaten path. The only negative was the stairs to our room and the hill to property.
Michael
Superb Castle Inn.
Superb and very quaint \"castle\" hotel/inn. A little tough to find but that's part of the attraction. I stayed in a lovely cottage room No. 9. Beautiful gardens and grounds. Very close to the Municipal Hall. And an excellent restaurant called COMO. Recommended.
SARAH
We needed a place for our car because parking can be hard around here. It was great. Easy to walk to old town Sintra from here. Our room was so spacious. Also, several nice restaurants were nearby. The breakfast was delicious. Our room was so quiet and lovely.
Rinat
Thanks, everything was so great!
John
Quiet Shangri-la Estate
Historical estate property, within walking distance to the City and sites.
Michael
Great location close to the old town. The property is unique that it was an aristocrat retreat converted to hotel. The hotel is gated and only accessible with code. The problem we ran into was the hotel wasn’t well integrated with Expedia’s message system. The checkin instruction with entry code never got to us from Expedia message feature or email. We had to call the hotel at the gate to gain entry as the door well doesn’t work.
Pendra
Charming old world hotel
The Holstein is a charming old hotel set in a beautiful magical garden with several picturesque walkways and hide aways. Thet serve a delicious breakfast with fresh hot baked goods. I highly recommend this hotel.
JAMES GARY
Very nice ,lovely place to stay.
Sandra
Nuno was excellent helping us find our way into the parking lot due to an accident at one of the gates. It was raining and he came out to show us in and got extremely wet. He is certainly an asset to the company, nothing was too much trouble for him, He also helped us with a parking ticket we picked up in town. He is certainly a wonderful person and I hope Casa Holstein recognizes that.
David
Hidden gem
Very appealing historic dwelling. Great service and lovely rooms. The climb from thr hotrl to the main stret is steep and not for everyone.
Patrick
Our room was nice and cozy.
Gary
Cafe Holestein stay for Sintra Tour
While we got notice in advance that the \"bell at the gate\" was not working and you would need to call to get someone to open the gate, it tool multiple calls to get anyone to answer the phone. When we asked about the time for breakfast we were told 9 am, and that was too late for us due to tour plans, but actually the area for breakfast opened earlier and we could have availed ourselves of the option if we had been told the correct time. The bathroom was super cold and also had no fan for ventilation causing condensation on the floors and tile walls making floors slippery and grout of tile subject to mold. Definitely needs updating. Location as good but the reception info on how to walk into Sintra Center was lacking. Aside from the location this would rank as a forgettable stay.
Sarah
Near the train station
A bit difficult to locate after dark if walking from train
Otherwise, great!

Where is the staff?!?
We were let in by the gardener. We NEVER saw anyone at the Front Desk. It was crazy! Our room was clean so kudos to Housekeeping! Would not recommend this hotel.
Carlos
Great option in Sintra.
Great option within walking distance to city hall and national palace.
Isabelle
Stately and stunning property, tucked away near Sintra Old Town. We had some trouble finding it by car, but the extra effort was definitely worth it.
Staff was beyond accommodating and friendly.

Lovely charming stay
Such a lovely one night stay here. The property and room was so charming.
We arrived on a rainy day and our room had the windows open so our bed felt very slightly moist which was the only downfall. As a vegan I didn’t have too many options for breakfast but I am used to that. Overall I would absolutely recommend coming here! It can be hard to find at night by car. But the staff is so helpful and kind.

Verified traveler
We loved this hotel! It’s a beautiful property located near the National Palace. We had a fantastic time on our babymoon. Breakfast was convenient and the hotel staff were lovely. Would recommend in a heartbeat!
Robert
The property and its grounds were truly enchanting. The resident peacock let us know this was his house and we were just visitors! LOL. Amazing place just off the main strip. Would definitely suggest to stay here if visiting Sintra. Thanks for an unforgettable stay.
Adriana
We loved this property! The manager, Hassan, went the extra mile and gave us an upgraded room. Anything that we needed during our stay, was taking care by Hassan, a true host. The property is very peaceful and surrounded by beautiful vegetation. A nice peacock kept us company. The breakfast was delicious and the food was fresh. Location was great, walking distance from the city center. We enjoyed our two night stay on the property! We hope to return soon.
Kim
We so pleasantly surprised with our beautiful room and the surrounding estate. It was may favorite experience in Portugal. Highly recommend.
DEANA
Hassan is a dedicated employee, we saw him every day. He is polite and efficient. The resident peacock made life interesting, especially when he tried to block us from leaving our room. Don’t be afraid of him, he is harmless and makes for a great story. Breakfast was simple but the most delicious we have had in years. Their baking is done onsite, who doesn’t love a warm piece of bread or croissant? We loved our stay here.
PETER
I just spent one night here in the villa, and it was fantastic! Beautiful small hotel with amazing breakfast, free parking, and easy walk into old town Sintra.I would definitely stay again.

Best in Sintra
Great place with most helpful staff.

This is our 3rd time at this wonderful CASA right in the centre of Sintra yet so sheltered from the choas of the very close and walkable historic centre. Perfect choice.

Wonderful stay in Sintra
Beautiful hotel in the center of Sintra. We could easily park our car on hotel area. We had a large and nice room, and the breakfast was delicious. Very friendly staff.
Upon arrival it was difficult to find the entrance, even more difficult because a road was blocked due to works. We needed to call the hotel for help, and then we succeeded to get there

I can’t say enough positive things about our stay…from the amazing breakfast, the helpful staff, the beautiful room and property…..walkable to the main square in Sinatra and a number of attractions. We would stay here again in a heartbeat…a hidden gem for sure.

We thought we were only renting a room at at a hotel. Turns out we rented a room at a royal-family's estate. This is a first class place to stay. The breakfast buffet is the best we have ever had anywhere in Portugal. The location is perfect, just a couple of blocks from the heart of Sintre's historic center.

Although the property is sitting in a naturally beautiful and green setting, but access to and from was so confusing.

This place is truly a hidden gem. An oasis among Expedia properties I have visited. Would highly recommend this place.

Old World Charm
This wonderful location, though potentially challenging to find initially due to road closures when relying on navigation devices like Google, offers a secure and complimentary on-site parking option. Upon your arrival, you'll be greeted by exceptionally friendly staff who are more than eager to extend a warm welcome and guide you to your accommodation nestled amidst serene gardens.
During your stay, don't forget to say hello to Oscar, the delightful resident peacock, known to make occasional appearances during breakfast on the dining room patio. Be sure to treat yourself to the delectable cooked breakfast and freshly brewed coffee.
When you're ready for dinner, it's just a short, leisurely stroll to the town center, where you can explore various dining options and even catch transportation up to the castle, or opt for a scenic walk if you're feeling energetic.
A simple but lovely gesture during your stay is to exchange morning greetings with fellow guests as you head to breakfast. A friendly demeanor can add an extra layer of charm to this already delightful accommodation.

Awesome place awesome service!

This was a nice, quiet getaway. It felt like a travel back in time. The property was beautiful and ancient. The pool was relaxing.

This hotel is a storybook dream. The buildings, grounds, gardens, delicious custom made breakfast, even the peacock speak of a time gone by but with today's conveniences. The most successful element in this hotel is the warm, gracious staff, who goes out of their way to help. I could hardly enjoy the things Sintra had to
offer because I wanted to stay all day long at Casa Holstein!

Small oasis in a busy and beautiful area. Staff were kind and excellent!
Winston
Good location, walking distance to downtown.
Friendly staff.
Negative point is the lack of s SmartTV in the room.

Poor Casa Holstein. It was probably a great hotel pre-Covid. You can see it in its bones.
The grounds, one of their points of pride, were in horrible conditions. Looks like zero maintenance for the past two years. The boxwoods have fallen victim to
European boxwood blight.
The staff were all non-Portuguese. They knew nothing of the surrounding area. Great restaurants close but you had to figure out that for yourself.
I was told by a local that the elderly owner of the property died a year or so ago and the folks who lease/operate the property have let it go downhill. No one in the family seems to be holding the operators accountable.
With that said, the rooms were nice. Linens were okay but not of the quality you would expect from a hotel of this stature.
We stayed in the villa. Words of warning! DO NOT RENT THE VILLA UNLESS YOU ARE IN TOP PHYSICAL CONDITION!! The villa is down below the hotel. The stairs are long, steep and treacherous. I can not even imagine navigating the hike to the villa in the rain.
With this said, we liked the hotel. There is a special charm to the place. I hope the owners hold the operators to a higher standard and return Casa Holstein to its grandeur.

Very clean and pretty property. Located close to many attractions. Will come back at some point again.
Elaine
Best of everything
Loved the location. 15 minute walk to the city touristy area but such a quiet location away from the business. (Except for the peacock, but he was respectful and didn’t start his calling til after 6:30 am). Loved the available on site parking. Was a little disappointed as the pictures are deceiving, but the charm of the place made up for it. I would definitely stay again!!
Victor
Nice views and friendly staff
Friendly staff, nice breakfast. Room was ok, in a basement like area. A bit smelly, like it was closed for some days.
Jonathan
This is an historic establishment, with great character and charm. The rooms are attractively furnished in ‘Country House’ style, and are generously proportioned and provided for, (though their phone system needs an overhaul, as I couldn’t make a local call on the room or the one at reception!). We especially liked the pool terrace (great view at sunset), and the faded grandeur of the grounds, though they do really need ‘taking in hand’ with regard to the rear gardens and the pool itself, which is slimy and full of leaves.
The staff were all friendly, and the breakfast staff provided us with generous fare, served on our terrace. (Vishnu was particularly impressive, but everyone made us welcome). In general the rooms were clean, but on arrival our floor needed a good mop, which did our after prompting.
Our main problem was the smell of damp in our room, and the effect it had on my partner’s asthma- he had several coughing fits in the night, due to the damp atmosphere, and because there is no extraction system in the bathroom (Room 9, but other rooms also seemed to lack this). In the short-term a de-humidifier is needed in that room, and cleaning and spraying to remove fungal spores.
