About this property

Vintage Chic, Romantic, Cosy Cottage, On Edge Of Historic Centre, Yet Secluded

'Bijou, cute, amazing, lovers' retreat, honeymoon hideaway' - these are just some of the words used by recent guests to describe our lovely stone cottage. Set in a private garden with access to a private pool, it's the perfect romantic setting.
The cottage exterior shows inspiration from a typical Alentejo style cottage but step inside and it is far from typical. As you bow your head to go through the old original door you are greeted by a double height space with a mezzanine floor, on which is set a pretty double bedroom. The 'saloio' (peasant) style kitchen has everything you need, including ceramic hob and washing machine, and the bathroom is stylish and modern.
The stone floor throughout has underfloor heating, a rare find in Portugal, and the whole building is fully insulated, making it great for cosy winter stays.

The cottage is set on the lower terrace of a private terraced garden in the heart of Sintra. It is in such a quiet location that you will feel like you are in the middle of nowhere, yet the historic center of Sintra is just a 2 minute walk. Seems impossible but it's true! Guests have their own private garden and terrace in front of the cottage, with amazing open views over the countryside to the sea. On the upper terrace of the property there is a private pool and another garden with lawn and table tennis area. Please note that because of the nature of the landscape there are many steps involved and therefore it is not suitable for people with walking difficulties.

Secret Garden in the Heart of Sintra!
What a fantastic rental experience! A beautiful, sparkling clean house "for two", surrounded by the most charming garden/courtyard and amazing views of Sintra...all just a few steps from the historic center's shops, restaurants and National Palace. Carole, the owner, provides everything you need to be comfortable, fix yourself breakfast, do a quick load of laundry, etc. I have no doubt this is the best place to stay in Sintra and we hope to return soon!

Cozy Gues House with amazing views
This place was great. It was charming, comfortable and cozy with amazing views from the front patio. The host was amzing and very helful. The kitchen was stocked with every thing for breakfast including fresh bread. We had an amazing stay and would stay here again if we ever came back to Sintra.

A charming stay with a heck of a view
The pictures didn’t do this accomodations justice - this was such a romantic little place with a spectacular view! Carole was fabulous hostess and made us feel right at home. There are other accommodations on the property but it still felt very private. If you get a chance take a late night dip in the beautiful greenhouse pool. The B&B is close to all the major sites in Sintra, it’s also very close to the beach which can be reached via car or tram. Cons (which aren’t a reflection on the B&B but rather the area): - Sintra is a VERY busy tourist destination which is something I wasn’t quite prepared for. It wasn’t enjoyable walking about with 1000’s of people and we found ourselves perfectly content in our very quite/private B&B - if you rented a car and will be driving here, prepare yourself lol. It’s not for the faint of heart. Roads are beyond narrow, a million other drivers / walking tourists and google maps is not the best. Make sure to really read over the directions before hand and do a meditation and a pray ;) - our room was also quite hot in the bedroom loft and a fan would have been a lovely addition

A serene bit of heaven in the perfect location!
While this property is a very short walk from the center of Sintra, it is surrounded by beautiful, quiet gardens. The cottage is well-appointed and perfect for two! The pool is indoors and heated. The host is unobtrusive and friendly! I definitely recommend this cottage for your stay in Portugal!

Sintra Cottage
What a lovely place! A bit hard to find, but once we were three Carole and Stuart were very gracious, and the place is delightful! 5 minute walk to town, great views, a small yard and outdoor sitting area, and a nice little kitchen with a washer. Perfect for our time in Sintra!!
