Sintra Center Guest House Escape to Nature

I loved that I had the place all to myself on my one night stay! Or, at least I think I did : ) It was so quiet and peacful. The bed was really mushy, so it didn't feel great on my back, but the peacefullness of the room and property still provided me with an excellent sleep. Carla was there to help me when I first arrived at 3pm on Friday and she saw me off the next morning. She was really helpful and kind. I though the room was nicely decorated and I loved the high ceilings and spaciousness of the room and bathroom. I used the pool twice and took a hot bath, two of my favorite things. It was located very close to Floresta Encantada, where I was attended a yoga retreat on Saturday, so this was the perfect overnight on Friday to get ready and relaxed and to not have to stress about taking the train from Lisboa first thing on Saturday morning.

It was really challenging to find the property - I would recommend adding to the instructions that it is a fairly long walk from the main road if you're getting there by foot. I was on the upper floor of rooms (which I read from other reviews is better for less dampness) however it was still very musty. All of my clothes (especially what I slept in on the musty bed) smelled terrible when I got home. Overall, it was a great value for the price, perfect for one night's stay, but I probably wouldn't stay longer than that.

I loved staying at this Guest House. It was truly an escape to nature. The staff was very friendly and the overall vibe was just peaceful. There's a beautiful garden with a little stream running through it. There's flowers and plants everywhere. The room itself was very nice as well, 10/10 recommend!

I knew this before, but underestimated the "climb" with my suitcase a bit, haha! From the train station of Sintra it's only 10 minutes of walking down (or you can take a tourist tuk tuk), but the road is small and at some places quite steap (and back to the train station/city centre is up...). Definitely a challenge with 35+ degrees, but it's 100% worth it!

Beautiful surroundings. Loved the swimming pool. Good walking distance from centre.

We can understand the lack of privacy some people may feel with a transparent door on the toilet. We spent a while redesigning it. The bed wasn’t that comfortable either but we found a way around it.

The location is beautiful, but the room was very cold and damp, which made the stay uncomfortable. Cleanliness could also be improved.
