Gorgeous 200+ year chateaux feeling property in the heart of Sintra. Staff were super friendly and helpful. Lots of gorgeous sitting areas to enjoy the views on the property.

I had booked 2 rooms back in January. One room was gorgeous on the 2 nd floor. The other was in the basement and smelled musty. This was disappointing. If booking make sure you ask for an upper floor. Also very difficult property to find the first time.

The property is beautiful and located right in Sintra with secure parking. The room was large and very clean. The breakfast was good and the dining room very nice with white table clothes and buffet style. Staff were friendly and helpful.

Finding the entrance to the property was a challenge and the way finding signage not very good and google also had a difficult time leading us to the property. We met two other couples who also had the exact same problem we did trying to find the entrance - a good map with detailed instructions sent out by the property before the visit would have been very helpful.

Beautiful Main property , great location Lovely breakfast Very helpful and friendly staff Magdalena looked after us and was very helpful and friendly We rented the entire villa situated at the bottom of the stunning grounds (many steep steps but we knew that when booking) The villa inside is split into two apartments which was perfect as my father stayed in one apartment and myself in the other. Apartment 12 is stunning with a beautiful outside seated area with access from the bedroom door

Apartment 13 smells damp and the lounge area is very dark (has a tiny window to the back of property) and is dingey, you wouldnt want to sit in it which is very disappointing as apartment 12 is bright and beautiful but as my father was staying in Apartment 12 next door we spent any spare time relaxing in his apartment. The breakfast room was lovely but they only serve breakfast. Would be so lovely if they were able to offer coffee and cake or something small during the day , so we could sit and enjoy the beautiful grounds

Grounds & pool area were beautiful. Location great once you found it. Very close to walk to Sintra old town & National Palace and also many restaurants even closer near railway station. But needs better instructions to find it and allowance for guests without access to phone or wifi on arrival as gate is locked. Ie provide code before arrival.

Steps when lugging suitcases. There are several individual rooms on lower levels in the grounds requiring many steps and little paths to get to. Our room was the last. Bonus was it was private and its terrace looked over garden. Staffing was either new or distracted with other issues during our stay.

Staff were friendly and helpful. Breakfast was plentiful and tasty. Hotel is beautiful and like a calm oasis in amongst the busy chaos of Sintra. Everywhere is walkable from here. Room was comfortable with everything we needed. Having a carpark is a huge bonus too.

There was a door below our room that kept slamming shut. The loud bang woke us very early in the morning and kept happening. A small detail but irritating nevertheless.

Being from Canada, we so enjoyed the old world feel of the property. Tucked away from the traffic and hustle of the city it felt like we were in a Bridgerton episode. Loved it. Birdsong in the evening, a peacock in the valley somewhere and seeing the Moorish castle from the pool terrace. Loved the honour bar -wish we had discovered that earlier.

Really nothing! Although my husband said the coffee was horrible. I can’t judge as I am a tea drinker.

This enchanting privately owned accommodation nestles in the heart of pure nature, offering breathtaking views, yet it's astonishingly only a minute's walk from the town center. The property exudes authenticity, from its meticulously preserved historic exterior to the charming interior design, transporting guests back in time. The inclusion of a swimming pool adds a modern touch of luxury, while the presence of majestic peafowl wandering the grounds lends an almost surreal beauty to the setting. Guests are treated to the epitome of hospitality here, akin to the warmth and generosity reserved for royalty, making each stay feel like a chapter from a fairy tale. The breakfast, included in the stay, showcases the best of local cuisine—fresh, flavorful, and a delightful start to the day. The host’s unparalleled availability and responsiveness enhance the experience further; their exquisite recommendations and deep understanding of fine dining elevate the culinary journey for every guest. The minimal sound and thermal insulation (despite sufficient heating) is a natural consequence of the building's historic character, preserving its authentic essence. A special note: While the attached pictures showcase the winter's stark beauty, one can only dream of the magic that other seasons bring to this picturesque haven. Whether it’s the vibrant blooms of spring, the lush greenery of summer, or the rich hues of autumn, this place promises a captivating backdrop year-round.

There was nothing that we did not like, not just because the listing and pictures were accurate.

The location is convenient yet away from the throngs of tourists plus Casa Holstein has an interesting history. The grounds are expansive and include a large swimming pool area which is welcome on a hot afternoon after sight-seeing.

We mistakenly chose a standard room and would recommend a superior room which offers more space and better facilities. Our room was above the hotel entrance which meant we were subjected to noisy guests returning after late nights out. The breakfast room and selections were disappointing.

Everything about this property was amazing. Beautiful grounds to explore and loved the resident peacock!!! He did several shows for us, which was fun to watch! Nuno was above and beyond helpful with tips for site seeing, restaurants (all very very delicious!) and when our air conditioner didn’t work I messaged in WhatsApp and he was there in less than 2 minutes to fix it! The room was unique and had touches of modern mixed with the old property. Breakfast was delicious as well! Well stocked refrigerator with everything you need too! Best place we stayed on our entire trip to Portugal!!! It was close to all the sites via Uber and lots of shops and restaurants within walking distance (many less then 5 minutes). I can’t say enough about the people that work there (especially Nuno!!).

That we couldn’t stay longer!!!

The location was really good, super near to the village center. The hotel is beautiful with a big, beautiful garden. The breakfast was ok, and the bed and toilet were clean and confy. The room had A/C and window for the interior pateo, wich was also amazing.

For the price I feel that the breakfast could've had a little bit more variety and more gourmet products. And little details that were forgotten, like the hand toils, or some products for the wc (despite the shampoo and the soap), etc.
