Welcome to our family’s 300-year-old home! Hosted by me, my mom, Maria, and our lovely team, this cosy private suite features a huge king bed and en-suite bathroom with a bathtub. You’ll love our shared snooker room, grand piano, and BBQ patio. We love to cook and have available homemade breakfasts, dinners, great Portuguese wine, and our famous Velvet sandwiches! (Note: Access to this room requires historic stone stairs). Check the first photos for your room, and the rest for our shared spaces!
YOUR COSY ROOM
Room 6 is a warm, private retreat for up to 4 guests, featuring a massive 2x2m king-size bed, a double sofa bed, and your own private bathroom with a bathtub, shower, and bidet. You'll have a mini-fridge, microwave, kettle, Nespresso machine, and dining ware right in your room.
HOMEMADE FOOD & DRINKS
We absolutely love hosting and cooking for our guests! While the main kitchen is just for our family, we provide hearty breakfasts, home-cooked dinners, homemade sweets, and bottles of fantastic Portuguese wine and beer. You also have to try our signature "Velvet Sandwich"—we make a decadent traditional version packed with local meats, cheese, and chorizo, plus a fantastic vegetarian option!
OUR HOME & THE PHOTOS
As you look through our photos, the first few will show your exact private suite, while the rest give you a tour of the beautiful public spaces you’ll share with us and other guests. You are always welcome to relax in our snooker room, play the piano or guitar, read in the library, or enjoy the patio and stone.
BBQ. HISTORIC STAIRS
Our 300-year-old home is built right into Sintra’s beautiful hillside. Getting to your room means walking down three flights of old stone stairs and climbing them when you head out. It adds so much to the historic charm, but please keep the stairs in mind for your luggage and mobility!
Your group has exclusive use of Room 5: two sleeping rooms, a small entrance hall and one private bathroom serving both rooms. Other guests do not pass through your suite. Our family villa is over 300 years old. To reach the suite, descend three flights of old stone stairs through shared areas, then climb them again to leave. Both bedrooms are one storey above the exterior ground, with windows overlooking greenery and the street; this is not a basement or a step-free property. Please consider stairs and luggage before booking. When you receive your room-specific check-in video, watch it to see the route.
You may enjoy the shared guest leisure areas: lounge, snooker table, piano, guitar, library, patio and BBQ. Other guest rooms and private staff/storage areas are off limits. The main house kitchen, stove/hob, washing machine and dishwasher are not available to guests.
We are a small family home and are happy to help through the booking platform. Your stay is self check-in. Please message us for assistance, food orders or special requests; requests depend on availability and confirmation.
Stay in Sintra’s historic centre, among old lanes, traditional cafés and green hills. Discover the National Palace of Sintra, Quinta da Regaleira and the town’s distinctive architecture, then return to a welcoming 17th-century family villa. The surrounding landscape is hilly, with slopes and steps; allow extra time for exploring and wear comfortable shoes.
Explore the historic centre on foot. Trains connect Sintra with Lisbon, and local buses and taxis serve the surrounding area. For attractions farther uphill, including Pena Palace and the Moorish Castle, plan transport and admission in advance. Driving and parking in the old town can be difficult. Read the arrival and parking instructions for your reservation before travelling and contact us if you need help planning your arrival.

Children are very welcome, but please keep a close eye on them around the stairs and elevated windows!
