Quinta Verde Sintra

We recently returned from a fabulous 13-day vacation to Portugal and this sweet, lovely and charming boutique hotel with its spacious grounds was a standout. It served as a tranquil oasis for us. Located about 2.5 miles from the center of Sintra, it is run by a very friendly mother and son team- Tina & Andre- who make you feel comfortable, welcome and taken care of while at the same time giving you space. Besides its wonderful and helpful hospitality, its boasts grounds that offer beautiful distant views of a mountain that is home to Pena Palace , an enticing swimming pool, a small lily pond with tiny frogs and fish, multiple varieties of flowers including the sweetest smelling honeysuckle and colorful wild nasturtiums, really tall palm trees, and a sweet small arbor. It is also conveniently located near the Monserrate Gardens, Pena Palace, the Moorish Castle and Adraga Beach - all accessible by a short rental car or Uber ride. We were shown exceptional care both prior to our arrival and after departing, Specifically, Andre was extremely responsive to my numerous phone calls from the States prior to our setting foot in Portugal. And I was so moved and touched by his following up our stay when he called me on his day off to make sure our plans to visit two sites in the area were not upended ( they were not) by a road race that day that closed or restricted access to the sites we had planned on visiting Qunita Verde Sintra was our place of peace.

A great little B&B style accommodation near to Sintra. The accommodation is about 25/30 minutes from the historic centre via car! This is primarily as Sintra has very small busy roads! Accommodation has all the usual amenities and a great outdoor space with a nice pool! There is also ample safe parking. The rooms are fairly simple but have everything needed and ours had a nice little seating area outside. We used Ubers to get into Sintra as this was easier than driving and parking.

It's a pretty place a few kilometres from Sintra. Quiet, private and cozy. The room is spacious. The air conditioning works. The shower is in the room itself, not separately, which is a plus! By the way, I can't help but note that for girls there is a shower hat, ear sticks and cotton pads. (all the time this is the first time) The hosts were kind, often texting and asking if we needed help. There is a swimming pool on the grounds: we have not used. I can say nothing but about the beautiful views from the grounds ! Parking is free on site You can keep your luggage. Of the cons, I note only that the pressure in the shower is weak and the mixer itself gives off a very unpleasant jab when used.
