We really enjoyed our stay in the apartment. The whole place was very clean and Charlie was an excellent host who personally greeted us and even helped with our luggage. Parking was close by on an uncrowded street. We would definitely come back. Thank you!

Maria’s place can only be described as charming. We loved every minute of our stay. The beds were comfortable. The location is great. It was a bit of a challenge to find. Our Google walking directions took us on a very difficult way down through the ravine. I left my wife with our luggage and went up to find the apartment. A very gracious gentleman who owned the Bengal Tandoori restaurant right around the corner from the place came to our rescue, pulled our suitcases, and guided us right to the door. Needless to say, their Chicken Masala is great.

Mistakes can be made; we did not receive any information about check-in. They did not respond to a message through VRBO. We waited at the door long enough for her to show up. She might have apologized, but then got defensive and made all kinds of excuses that were not valid, which just caused more irritation. ... Hours later her husband came and apologized more thoroughly, which was much more effective! ... Oh, and on the last morning we had no hot water. Otherwise, everything was very nice. I assume they will learn from this, so I would not expect similar mistakes in the future.

Enjoyed a great stay at Maria’s, home is located very central to accessing sites, is clean, and quiet. Maria left us a bottle of Port which was much appreciated after a long day of travel. We also enjoyed the outside patio/terrace area, and had a great dinner at a local restaurant she recommended. My only suggestion would be, if you are taking a taxi or ride share into town (which I would do) would be to ask her for a good drop off location to give the driver. Sintra’s road can be challenging to navigate, pedestrian only streets, and a lot that are narrow orone way, so having a good drop off will make the process of getting there easier.

This little place is a delight! It consists of a cute bedroom with double beds; full kitchen with small dinning table that opens up for eating; a little sitting room where we stored our luggage and a small bathroom. Gorgeous tiles everywhere! There is a little patio outside with a table and chairs and a rack for hanging laundry. The hot water is slow to heat up and we found running the kitchen tap sped up water for the bathroom. Also it was chilly but on day 2 we discovered two heaters (one moveable)that took the chill off the rooms.It is in the old town and as such no vehicles accept certified taxis and residents can enter. The streets are all cobblestones with many stairs to get down or up to enter. We had big suitcases since we stayed here at the beginning of a monthlong journey and had great difficulty coming and leaving. A lovely fellow Jerdon, (in the restaurant at the end of the lane) consented to carry our suitcases and even drive us when we left. FOR FREE! The people are just so friendly and helpful!The sites in Sintra are amazing: the Peña Palace, the Moorish Castle, the Main Square, Monserrat (a ways to go but well worth it!) - accessible by city bus or tuk-tuk and of course all the little pathways, restaurants and shops tucked away throughout( only accessible by walking) You can catch an Uber from the News Stand to get back to Lisbon.Stay here and you won’t regret it!

Very delightful property in the heart of Sintra. You'll feel like a local.

This property's location is in the heart of the city center only 2 blocks from the National Palace. It has a delightful little courtyard and the bedroom looks straight out into the owners garden. It is in a quiet neighborhood. It's kitchen is well equipped, but I think eating at one of the many restaurants is preferable to figuring out where to shop for groceries. I definitely don't recommend driving, Infact I don't know where you could park. We took a taxi to the property, and it is only 2 blocks from the taxi staging area.

Perfect location

We thoroughly enjoyed our Sintra home. The location was perfect. We were met by Maria upon our arrival. The apartment was adorable. Maria provided a complimentary bottle of Port, which we enjoyed on our patio. There was so many amazing things to do in the area, and all within walking distance.

Great location, super landlady.

This tiny house is located a stone throw away from Sintra centre — everything iswithin walking distance. The house is small but it’s fully equipped for a comfortable stay. The landlady, Maria, was a very nice and cultured individual. She always responded to queries etc. quickly and gave ideas on tourist spots in Sintra. The only problem with this house is it is far from supermarkets/mini markets.All in all, we would still recommend this place for a short stay in Sintra.

Charming cottage in great location

Sintra is amazing! Narrow, winding, cobbled streets, lots of restaurants and unique shops. The location of the cottage was ideal. Close to the center of town on a quiet pedestrian street. The host lives a couple of doors down and was very accommodating at check in. Our flight got delayed and we did not land until midnight. We communicated numerous times during the delay and she assured us that it would not be a problem. She met us a couple of blocks from the cottage at 12:30am and once inside, showed us where everything was and wanted to know if we needed milk or anything for the morning. Inside the cottage was cozy with beautiful tile work and ample room for two. Unfortunately, the weather was cold and damp during our stay, raining for 2 weeks, so the small heaters could not compete. We were informed by numerous people that we were there for the worst Spring ever. Normally 7 days of rain in the month, and we got 13 in 14 days. Certainly not Maria’s fault. She was concerned and kept checking in with us.

Charming apartment with a great location

The apartment is on a very quiet, pedestrian only street, but it is only steps away from the Palace de Pena, restaurants, cafes, shops and a bus stop. There is a little grocery store with fruit and vegetables and a great bakery near the train station. It is a ten-minute walk to the Sintra train station, but there are waiting taxis if you don’t want to walk. The apartment is very cute and the patio is delightful. The owners were very helpful. We stayed a week in Sintra, taking the train to Lisbon and the bus to Cascais. A stess-free week. Highly recommended; we were very happy with how our trip turned out.

Lovely tile work, good mattresses, pretty well equipped, but could be so much better with a bit of TLC. Bathroom faucet sprays all over, bedroom door squeaks badly, hair dryer is on its last legs and the whole place smelled musty.

Excellent location, perfect for 2 people

Excellent location in the historic section of Sintra on a quiet pedestrian side street. An easy walking distance to many bakeries, restaurants, and palaces. The apartment is small but very functional, has beautiful tile details, and is clean and peaceful. I stayed here, first with my daughter and then with my sister and we all loved our stay. Hosts Maria & Burghard welcomed me on arrival, and responded quickly to questions or requests during our stay. They live close by, so was fun to get tips about the area when we happened to bump into them. I highly recommend this cute apartment as a base to explore the beautiful palaces and gardens of Sintra, and would love to stay here again.

We loved this charming, character cottage

Located right in the heart of the historic centre of Sintra this cozy little cottage could not be a better choice for a short or longer stay. We were there for four nights and were 100% impressed in every way. From our first meeting with our very helpful and friendly host, nothing could be better. The cottage was exceptionally well equipped in every respect and displayed our host’s skilled traditional tile artistry. The little garden was a fun place to enjoy a glass of port. And we sincerely appreciated the bottle of tawny port and bottled water that awaited us in the cottage. If we were to return to Sintra this is where we would stay. Parking is a challenge in Sintra.

TOP Appartment, TOP friendly Host, TOP Location, Value for Money, relaxed stay

The 2 night stay was great. Spotlessly clean appartment, large rooms, fabulous view, parking behind appartment, as we arrived in the evening, we could drive into the city-center. Directly located beside national sintra palace and walking distance to Quinta de Regaleira. 5 Minutes walk to the busstop of the Hop-on-hop-off bus line 434. Restaurants and cafes just on the doorstep. We used the well equipped kitchen on our first night with some precooked food bought at the supermarket and had dinner at the indian/italian restaurant just behind the appartment, which was very delicious. I would really recommend the appartment and it is great value for money also. Host is extremely helpful. Better park car in Lisbon or Cascais and come with tram or train from there with your "overnight luggage" or let GPS search for Cafe Paris and enter late with your car. Be aware of extremely narrow roads, our audi a1 fitted only with the mirrors folded to the car!
