This is basic accommodations so if you’re looking for upscale..keep looking. That said it feels safe, it’s clean and the location is perfect
The rooms are stark but have the basics. There is plenty of hot water and enough dishes for a decent meal.
The restaurant up the street (The Raposa) is fabulous…food was our best meal in Sintra
There’s no parking but the bus /train station is close enough to walk to with suitcases
All in all…it’s good value for the money

Located at a cul-de-sac, the rooms face a green valley. So nice to wake up to birds chirping and to sit on the terrace watching the sunset.

A really nice room in a great location. The one issue was their water pump (mounted on the roof directly above our room) malfunctioned and kept cycling on and off 24 hours a day. I had to turn on the AC fan to create white noise to mask the pump noise. The staff did call for a repair but it was not done before we left the property. No type of compensation was offered for the issue.

This was exactly as advertised. A quiet, large space perfect for visiting Cintra for a few days. Everything was clean and in good order.

It is a little off the beaten path which I appreciated, but it is about a 10 minute walk uphill to reach the historic city center. Nearby to the train station and some spots for breakfast, as well as a very nice restaurant on the block for dinner.

Villas da Cintra was very conveniently located. Only about 5 minutes walk from the train station. It was a pleasant surprise to have a skylight in the bathroom. It kept the toilet area bright. The patio area in front of the room was perfect for watching sunset. The kitchenette was fully equipped except for a kettle which could be easily substituted with a pot of water on the stove. It was very nice that oil, vinegar and salt were provided along with dish detergent.

Had a wonderful stay here. We requested an early check in and they accommodated us. Everything was perfect in the room — mattress was comfortable, heat/AC/hot water worked fine, coffee, tea, plates, and cups all provided. The location is an easy 15-20 min walk to downtown Sintra/National Palace, or a Bolt/Uber can get there in less than 5 euros. It was also within one block from a mini market which was super convenient to get water, snacks, and picnic lunch.

The room was in good condition but they make it look so much nicer than what you really get. You could smell somebody smoking through the vent in the bathroom and you can hear others in rooms around you. The bathroom was nice and remodeled. It was nice for the price that it is. I would stay here again. Some of the lights at night are really bright and warning stickers glow on the walls while you are trying to sleep. It isn't really close to anything but then again in Sintra everything is pretty far from each other in terms of walking. The view from the seating area is beautiful but we couldn't enjoy it because people were out there smoking the whole time. Even 7 am when we woke up the next morning in the dark they were out there smoking again. For the price it is a warm comfy bed and a place to safely lie your head.

Please read carefully before booking. We ended up booking a room in a shared house, sharing a bathroom which was not very pleasant 😐 tried changing the room several times before travel but we were told we could not but asked us to pay full amount if we wanted the other room. There is no parking on premises and it is a steep hill to get to the hotel so not for handicapped people. Horrible stay for us.

This accommodation is nice and the staff are nice too. I found the facilities to be good enough for my needs, for example being able to use the kitchen. My only issue with this type of building is the poor sound proofing. Unfortunately this is a structural issue which is common in most hotels and guesthouses throughout Europe.

The apartment was clean and quiet, with a tidy bathroom and overall good housekeeping. I appreciated that the room and toilet were very clean.Close to station.

The only downside was the layout and lighting. There was no outside area, and the living room/kitchen had no real window – only a door with a wooden panel and a glass panel. If you opened the wooden part, you got some light, but for fresh air you would need to open the glass part directly onto the street, which didn’t feel very safe. This seems to be more about the design of the flat than something the hosts can change, but it’s worth checking carefully before booking if natural light and outdoor space are important to you.

It was a beautiful place to stay. It was clean and comfy. But be aware of the high level of noise if u r unlucky with the other tenants following the older building style. We were recommended a free parking near by but couid be warn not to drive down to the property. Driving back up was a big time stress;) I would book the room near the garden at the rear side of the villa if I was back.

This was a great choice. This place is adorable. We loved the rustic look. The beds were very comfortable. Shower was nice, good water pressure and hot water. AC worked great. The staff was very helpful and friendly. They provide a map of the area with suggestions about what to see and restaurants. We enjoyed eating at Restaurante Apeadeiro, their suggestion for Portuguese. Luis Santos for more upscale and Volta e Meia. You can't go wrong with any of these places, and they are all walking distance from property. Just up the hill at the main road is a small grocery. We got yogurt, fruit and OJ for breakfast in the room.
My husband and I wanted some extra space, so we rented the family unit. It offered a bed in the living room area and a separate room with a bed and 2nd full bath. It gave us the space to really relax. The kitchen was well stocked and if you needed anything they'd get it for you. You had to ask for wine glasses.
The terrace is narrow but offers a table that hinges out from the wall. The view is so nice and it's a great spot to enjoy a glass of wine and unwind after a long day of exploring.
This property is close to the train station. It was quiet and we enjoyed being outside the main tourist area. It's an easy walk to get to the center of town. We were able to walk to the Quinta de Regaleria and took an Uber to and from Pena Palace/Moorish Castle area.
I would stay at this property again.

A Great Place to Stay

This was a large apartment conveniently situated down a quiet street near the train station and the buses. It was a pleasant walk to the historical part of town. The villas had cooking facilities and a separate bedroom. Though the bathroom was large, the toilet was situated so the shower door had to remain open while using to accommodate knees. I thought it was hilarious.

Practical apartment hotel near train station

Great value for an apartment type of one bedroom hotel. Basic furnishings but practical mostly. Very clean. Nice to have a full kitchen if want to cook or reheat some food although we only ate out. Only suggestion is having more hooks in the wall in the rooms and bathroom for towels, rain jackets etc. very quiet street and good blackout curtains to sleep in after jet lag.

Very nice and comfortable rooms, easy to reach from the station and a good base for making excursions. The last 100 m to the hotel is steep downhill (not uncommon in Sintra) which might make accessing the property inconvenient. However, our only complaint is that the walls are very thin and everything the neighbours say or do can be easily heard to the room...

Massively overpriced for what you get.

Compared to every other place we stayed in Portugal, this hotel was RIDICULOUSLY OVERPRICED! This \"villa\" was as expensive or more expensive than most of the luxury hotels we stayed at that provided beautiful rooms and big breakfasts, yet this hotel offered very little. There was no breakfast, the room was sparse and was decorated with emergency stickers, one small plate on a white wall, and a badly spray-painted headboard. Their idea of morning off was to give us one packet that we were to bring into the lobby to use with their little coffee machine and then drink out of a tiny plastic disposable cup. If this room costed 50 Euro a night, and was called a budget hotel, this would make sense -- but for over 165 Euro, this hotel should be ashamed of itself. They are massively overcharging compared to the nine other hotels we stayed at all over Portugal, including Lisbon and Porto. Yuck, we feel very ripped off.
