About this property

Romantic&cozy duplex, very quiet, w/handpainted walls, beautiful views, A/C&WiFi

The excellent location of this house in the heart of the historic center, very close to shops and restaurants, but in a very quiet small square, allows you to visit most of the most important monuments of Sintra on foot.
(Palácio da Vila is just 200 meters away, Quinta da Regaleira is 700 meters away, Seteais Palace Gardens are 1.1 km away, Pena Palace and Gardens are 2.1 km away, Moorish Castle is 2.3 km away and Monserrate Palace and Gardens are 3.3 km away).

Recent renovation of a mid 1800’s house, this lovely duplex features decorative paintings on the walls and offers all the amenities you will need during your stay in Sintra.

The first floor has an open space with a double chaise longue, a double day bed, window seat and a well equipped open-plan kitchen. Also in this floor you can find a bathroom with double sinks and a spacious shower as well as a closed veranda overlooking Sintra’s “Palácio da Vila”, where you can enjoy a drink while watching the sunset after a long day discovering Sintra.

In the attic, you will find a cosy bedroom with twin beds and two large windows overlooking the village plaza and surrounding countryside (maximum ceiling height 1,75 meters)

This house accommodates up to 4 persons (the living area contains a day bed that can easily provide 2 additional sleeping accommodations) and is specially indicated for couples and small families. A cot may be added, on request, at no extra charge.


Sintra: Few places in the world can envoke a sense of magic and mystery as does Sintra. From magical forests to romantic palaces Sintra never fails to seduce. Described by Lord Byron as “Glorious Eden,” Sintra’s charms have long been celebrated. Once the summer residence of the kings of Portugal and of the Moorish lords of Lisbon before them, today Sintra is a romantic getaway for people from all around the world. The UNESCO Committee decided to inscribe Sintra as a World Heritage Site at the category of Cultural Landscape, because: 'the site is of outstanding universal value as it represents a pioneering approach to Romantic landscaping which had an outstanding influence on developments elsewhere in Europe.'
This magical place is dominated by steep mountains and lush forests which create a microclimate, always several degrees cooler than Lisbon. Hosting beautiful palaces with neo-gothic towers, a visit to Sintra is a must

Other ways to discover in Sintra: In addition to the usual activities, we also suggest:
Take a trolley ride from Sintra to Praia das Maçãs;
Visit a wine cellar, 'Adega Regional de Colares';
Take afternoon tea at Lawrence's Hotel (the most ancient hotel in Iberia peninsula);
Drink water in the fountain, 'Fonte da Sabuga' (whoever drinks this water will surely return to Sintra);
Specially for the children, visit 'Quintinha Pedagógica' in Monserrate Park.

Sintra
The property is truly in the heart of the old town, overlooking the Palace: ideal for cafes, restaurants, and wandering this lovely, historic place. But it is also quiet and peaceful in the evenings, once the day trippers have departed.. Silvia and Mario were so helpful, meeting us just after our arrival and recommending many useful places to visit and practical points about the accommodation - thank you.

Beautiful, stylish apartment in a fantastic location with a great outlook over the Palace in Sintra
The apartment was an ideal base to explore the sights of Sintra. A quiet and cool sanctuary after a hot day - especially having coped with all those steps up to the Castelo dos Mouros! Silvia was very welcoming and suggested many places to see on the second part of our holiday heading South. Thank you! Charlotte & Paul

The BEST apartment in Sintra!!!!
This is by far the best place I have stayed in in Sintra. It was the PERFECT holiday place to stay. It has the CHARM of Sintra with all the modern conveniences inside to make your stay ever so comfortable and enjoyable. The location is SUPERB close to all the quaint Portuguese cafes, shops, restaurants and the world famous Piriquita just steps away from your front door. The owners were very friendly and strive to make your stay very comfortable. The views this apartment are AMAZING! You are in the heart of the Sintra Villa, minutes away from the old castles and palaces. The place was immaculate and well maintained. I recommend this place 100%. If you want the total Sintra Portugal experience this place is a must!

About the host

Hosted by Silvia Rodrigues

Host profile image
We have 2 school aged children and we love to travel.

Why they chose this property

The main purpose of this house, located just 10 minutes away from were we live, is to be offered on house exchanges that we love to do during our holidays. We also use it to receive family and friends. We only rent it a few weeks per year to help with the maintenance expenses.

What makes this property unique

This house was thought and decorated accordingly to what we like to find when we travel. It was all the main amenities that you usually have at home, but that are so hard to find in touristic apartments. Our goal is to make everyone who visit us feel comfortable and at home, just like you do when you are visiting our friends.
What made us fall in love for this house, was its location and fantastic views from all the windows. I love decorating and giving character to a house, so all the walls have lovely hand painted motifs, all done by my sister-in-law.
