This is an ideal hotel when visiting Sintra. It is a short walk downhill to the town center and a short walk to paths up to the Moorish Castle and Pena Palace. The hotel is immaculately clean and our room had a very comfortable king-sized bed. The view out our window overlooking the palace in the heart of Sintra was lovely. Complimentary breakfast was excellent. The concierge was exceedingly helpful with directions and advice. Two considerations, neither the hotel’s fault: Sintra is an old town built on the side of a hill. The streets are narrow and parking extremely limited—I suggest you take a Bolt/Uber to the hotel and not bring a car. The beauty of Sintra is most easily enjoyed by foot, which means climbing up and down steep streets or paths. You can certainly get around by tuk-tuk or other means, but wear your walking shoes! I highly recommend this hotel.

This was a wonderful, beautiful villa with a view overlooking the historic center of Sintra. We would only stay here on a future visit. The villa is lovely with marble floors throughout and nice decorative touches. Our hostess was so kind and prepared a great breakfast, with lots of fresh fruit, and the best croissants. You can catch the bus, which is very close by, to the Pena palace and walk on to the Moorish castle. The National Palace is in the center of town and is within walking distance. The town is quaint with nice restaurants and shopping. Sintra has a lot to offer.

Definitely stay at this property. It was our first time in Sintra and we loved the location! High on the hill overlooking the upper village of Sintra. Easy walking distance to the trail leading up to the fortress and palace. The entire staff was really nice, and the breakfast was delicious. Wine on the terrace with views of the ocean…a must! We would definitely stay here again.

Great modern newly renovated hotel with a brilliant customer service. Heated bathroom floors with a home like feeling apartment. Over the board courteous and friendly staff gave one of the best hotel experiences we have ever had! Breakfast was just amazing served at our table with one of the finest scrambled eggs, freshly baked breads, fresh fruit, fresh orange juice. If we visit Sintra again we will be staying here. We checked out and put our bags in storage. After sightseeing we collected bags and they served us free coffee before leaving.

It is a nice B&B that is closed to the town centre. Breakfast is good too. We stayed there for 3 days and the breakfast is same every day. It is kind of boring for eating the same thing everyday.

I’ve never used the word exquisite to describe a stay, but exquisite perfectly describes villa Bela Vista! Alexandra, the owner and host, has prepared a truly lovely place to stay in Sintra. Our room overlooked the center of the city snd was spotless and comfortable in every way. The bathroom is fabulous with beautiful gray and white marble. Because our planned tour started before the normal breakfast hour, Alexandra provided breakfast early to meet our needs. Breakfast included a variety of fruits, breads, scrambled eggs, And freshly squeezed juice. Truly a delightly stay!

Great property, great staff and great complimentary breakfast. Room was modern, clean and quiet. Easy walk to heart of tourist area in Sintra. Easy walk to Moorish Castle and Pena Palace trailhead (if you plan to walk to those sights.) If not walking, bus stop is 300 meters from hotel. 15 minute walk from hotel to train station. Very happy with everything and recommend highly. We cant speak for those driving as we rode the train in.

Basement room. High humidity that was not ameliorated by the HVAC system Spotted some black mould in a corner which was disturbing. Had a hot shower in the morning after a clammy night. Fire alarm went off, noone came and all the staff said was "it nevet happened before". They seemed to suggest that we were smoking or vaping, which we were not. Breakfast start at 830 is convenient for hotel but not for travelers with a train to catch. Beautiful view. Will never be seen again.
