“After coming from a rather rustic & shabby VRBO in the Algarve, Chalet O Amorzinho was an absolute breath of fresh air. The staff was so kind and accommodating (especially Maria who served our delicious breakfast every morning). The seaside setting is absolutely gorgeous with easy access—only a few minutes walk—to beaches and great dining options. The room was fresh, clean, and comfortable every day. Cabo da Roca, Sintra, and Cascais are easily to get to by car (20ish minute drive). Can't wait……
“The Villa Bella Vista was wonderful! The room was spacious and spotless. There were very few other guests so we had the terrace all to ourselves. The view could not be better; a perfect place to watch the sunset and listen to the busker playing in front of the palace. ”
“The hotel service is generally ok and breakfast is good. The only thing we found inconvenience is there is no shower room or enclosed area for bath or shower. We booked a room accommodation for 4 persons. There is a bathtub not far from the bed and there is no door or blind. Basically the room inside has no privacy for a group of 4 to stay. Fortunately, we only stayed 1 night and can take shower after we moved to the next hotel. ”
“Quinta Velha’s a gem tucked in Sintra’s hills, about a 10-minute walk from Pena Palace and the village center. It’s a small, upscale B&B on two hectares of forest, with a cool mix of old Portuguese charm and modern touches—think restored 1800s beams paired with sleek furniture. We stayed in one of the six suites, which felt cozy and private, like a boutique hideaway. The place was redone in 2019, so everything’s fresh but still has history.
The lounge is great for chilling, with a fireplace……
“The host was extremely friendly and helpful, especially with tips for getting to the Palace of Sintra. The place is very convenient right in the center of town. Even though we stayed for only one night, we would definitely stay there again. ”
“In Cascais, this is perfectly located. 5 mins walk to the city center for all the restaurants and shops but just around the corner where this is private and quiet. Also had to beat is that this sits across a park on one side, and then a walled fortress in front where the area has been converted to contain some specialty shops within a plaza. The staff are great, the area safe, and the breakfast and pastries were a delight!”
