Favorite hotel on our trip! A fantastic place to escape. Probably would have stayed our whole time there in retrospect! Short drive from airport. Our room was beautiful in old unique building but clean and spacious for all 5 of us. The kids loved the animals, games, and yard to run around in. The pool was refreshing and lovely. Easy to drive to beaches and Sintras after starting the day off with a delicious breakfast! The host was so welcoming and travel instructions were so helpful. Thank you for the wonderful stay! Five stars!

Unique building, quiet area( except for local dogs barking) good parking. Wonderful outdoor space. The hosts lives there, has dogs. They are well behaved (they weren't barking) horses too! Playground, trampoline, soccer net. Beautiful little garden with a chess set. A kitchen available.

The breakfast was exceptional, she put actual love into the food.

A little slice of paradise! The old converted farmhouse is beautiful and charming. The staff is very friendly and accommodating and the room huge by any standard especially for Europe. Beautiful pool and fruit and flower trees everywhere! Two very sweet but large dogs, so keep that in mind if tou are afraid of dogs. My eight-year-old and four-year-old loved them.

You need a car here as everything is a 5 minute drive away including the train.

The host was for than helpful and accommodating, helping you plan your visit, providing train tickets etc. We loved our stay here and plan on being back.

Lovely, Relaxing Family Stay

We enjoyed our stay very much; our room was one of the largest we've ever stayed in, very clean and with such comfortable beds, the property is also on lovely grounds. The children enjoyed playing in the salt water pool situated right outside our room, and our wonderful host Maria even dug out some floaties for them to use in there.

Maria goes out of her way to make you feel at home, assisting with travel (taxi/ train) and restaurant information, and is always on hand to help with anything else you need during your stay. We will definitely stay again.

Nice stay

Good clean property, nice owners. One advantage is that the owners are on property so there is no issue with late arrival. Would stay again if in the area.
The only suggestion I'd have is to give better instructions on driving to the property, google takes you to a slightly off location.

We had a wonderful time at this property. The new owner made us feel very welcome. The added touches in the room were very appreciated, lovely fruit a complimentary bottle of fabulous wine and beer and drinks in the fridge. The cold buffet breakfast was delicious. On our last day we left our bags and went to the beach. They graciously kept our bags and when we returned they let us use the small communal kitchen for our picnic and the communal shower to rinse off all of the sand. It really let us extend our time in the region. Two nearby restaurants were also delicious and within walking distance.

Rustic Charm Perfected!

Our stay at Quinta do Scoto was absolutely perfect. I only wish I had booked more time there. The property was so charming- from our beautifully renovated (former barn) suite- to the fields with 2 gorgeous and friendly horses, we couldn’t ask for more. Our suite was so spacious and beautifully decorated. Our hosts- Penny and Tony - made us feel very welcome. The home was convenient to historic Sintra, yet in a non- tourist area- away from the crowds. We can’t wait to return!

If I could give this place 10 stars, I would!! Warm greeting (including a glass of wine while I filled out paperwork), tour of the property and my room... FANTASTIC room!! Tons of space, HUGE bathroom with a fabulous soaking tub. Very convenient to all tourist places, but with a quiet you can't get in any bigger town or city! I will definitely return here on my next trip to Portugal!

Quite old villa

The place is rather old and needs renovation in my opinion. The owners were very friendly and were generous with us leaving all what we needed in the fridge. Breakfast was good but no hot food options. Very quite location and relaxing. This hotel is closer to Sintra than to Lisbon. You need a car to get there. Not far from the train station where there is free parking and you can take the train from there to either Lisbon or Sintra.

Great Hosts, Wonderful Property

Can’t say enough about Tony and Penny and the wonderful environment they have created in this unique B & B. The rooms were the largest we’ve ever had at a B & B and attention to the smallest details are obvious everywhere you turn. Due to local restrictions, they cannot serve a hot breakfast, but the continental breakfast was outstanding and we felt spoiled. If staying in the Sintra area, don’t hesitate to book this gem!

GREAT, beautiful B&B

A most beautiful and confortable, clean spacious B &B....Tony and Penny are incredibly helpful.The suites (9) are spacious and decorated with antiques....the \"mansion\" dating back to the 1700ths, and reconstructed in 2006 sits in the outskirts of Sintra, about 6 kms ( E25.00 by taxi).....plenty of peace, satisfying breakfast

A true 5!

This hotel is situated in a small village close to both Lisbon and Sintra. It is a lovely semi rural setting, with a large yard, swimming pool, very good parking, and wonderful people operating the hotel. Tony and Penny do a great job of explaining the area, and go out of their way to assist people to enjoying their stay in Portugal. I could not recommend any facility more highly that Quinta do Scoto.

Excellent B&B nr Lisbon\n\n

Stayed here on our last evening of a walking holiday along the Sintra coast. As it was our first day of not walking we were looking forward to a relaxing stay. We were not disappointed. We had a very warm welcome from the owners who showed us their lovely renovated house with a glass of wine. Our roomwas in a seperate builidng and was huge. Two very compfortable double beds and a huge bathroom with large shower seperate bath and two basins.
The room opened onto a terrace overlooking a lovely pool which is where we relaxed in the afternoon reading. as we were leaving early the next day they provided us with a hamper full of lovely things for breakfast. This is an excellent B&B for exploring this part of portugal and we would definately stay here again.

Amazinly restored old farm house close to Sintra

We stayed in Quinta do Scoto during our trip through Portugal. I wished we have stayed there a bit longer - it is conveniently located close to many sightseeing destinations in the center of Portugal. You can take radial trips from Quinta de Scoto easily. Note: it is not located in the heart of old town but more like industrial/suburban outskirt of Sintra. This requires some driving to the center of typically very busy town but eases the parking situation next to \"homebase.\" The house is very nice and authentic - 16th century farm house meticulously respired by the British family. The owners are living on the property and personally taking care of everything.

Qunta do Quaint!

Quinta do Scoto is a 400 year old farmhouse lovingly restored by two British engineers, Penny and Tony. I can't recommend it more highly. They have done a remarkable job turning the old barn into charming suites (ours slept 6 with two double beds and a separate room with two twin beds), which they upgraded us. You are greeted with a complimentary bottle of wine, an honor bar, wonderful breakfast food, and several chickens! There is a new pool with nice chairs, and a short walk to the small town for local food and drink. It is about 10-15 minutes to Sintra by car, and at the most 20 minutes from the Lisbon airport. Penny couldn't have been more welcoming, and I could sense they give extra attention (such as arranging cabs or taking folks to the local train station) to all the guests. Top notch

Beautiful Quinta but so so location

This is a beautifully restored comfortable property well run by it's owners. It's well located to access Sinatra or Lisbon by road or rail. We enjoyed our stay, the only downside was the area it's in. Whilst it may be the 'real' Portugal some seek we prefer to stroll to restaurants and bars in attractive surroundings which unfortunately you just can't do here. If you can look beyond that fact you'll enjoy your stay.

Relaxing, characterful and friendly

What do you want from a hotel? Comfort? Cleanliness? Friendly staff? This provides all of that. But it also provides much more - it provides a touch of authenticity. In a consumer driven society, where a yearning for the tourist dollar is uppermost in many minds, the Quinta de Scoto is a little different. Tony and Penny's restoration of the Quinta was obviously a labour of love. The Quinta was built at a time when my ancestors were most probably supporting Bonny Prince Charlie in his doomed attempt to seize the British throne. While my ancestors were spilling blood at Culloden, artisans were crafting a beautiful Manor House in Portugal, and, after many years of neglect before they bought it, and many years of hard work under their stewardship, Tony and Penny have reserected an authentic part of Portugal's history And the best bit is ..... they let you stay in it!

Relaxing B&B

We enjoyed our stay here very much. Penny was extremely helpful and our rooms were spacious and clean
The pool was excellent as was the breakfast. There is a good restaurant nearby but the local village itself is nondescript. Lisbon and Sintra are nearby. We hired a car which made getting around easier but perhaps that isn't essential. Apart from the very noisy Canadians next door it was a great stay

Highly Recommended

A great experience. We were treated more like family friends than paying guests. Nothing was too much trouble. The room was spacious, immaculately clean and the décor was beautiful. Good quality toiletries were provided (e.g. shower gel / shampoo etc) and a mini fridge was full of beer, soft drinks and fresh milk which was all complimentary, as was a bowl of fruit and a bottle of wine. Lots of hints and tips were given about travelling around the area - this was extremely useful. We were also provided with a telephone number for a local taxi driver who could speak / understand English. The accommodation was very convenient for visiting lots of places (e.g. Lisbon, Sintra, Estoril coast, etc) - all within 20-30 minute journey. The train station is only a short walk away. Travel is extremely cheap too - a single ticket to Lisbon costs approx. 1.85 Euros.Breakfast was continental and a variety of cereals, breads, ham, cheese and cake were provided - plenty was provided and if you wanted anything different you only had to ask. We will certainly be returning and will be recommending to family and friends.

Experience the real Portugal

We had a lovely stay at Quinta Do Scoto. We had rented a car at the airport and we feel it was necessary. The train station is within a 10 minute walk from the Quinta. A taxi service is also offered. The hosts Tony and Penny are most helpful and informative.. There are a few restaurants in the area which serve really good food and are inexpensive , again Tony will advise on where to eat and these are good recommendations. Our accommodation was lovely, lots of space,very comfortable. The pool area was also very nice. The location of the Quinta was very good for visiting the places of interest, although rural, yet had close access to the motorway.

Although we're not the B&B type of travelers however, we absolutely loved this place, the owners (Tony and Penny), and 11 year old was over the moon. Highly recommend if you are city people looking for some quiet peaceful time and our daughter loved playing with the two dogs, horses, chickens, etc...

En fin gammal gård från 1700-talet omvandlad till ett litet intimt pensionat med pool och stor trädgård. Väldigt trevliga och gästfria värdar som tar hand om sina gäster på ett opretentiöst och vänligt sätt. Här kan man ta det lugnt eller ha som bas för besök i Lissabon och Sintra.
