Good size apartment ideal for a couple. Stairs to bedroom and toilet were somewhat different and not easy to anyone with mobility issues though ok for myself. Very clean with all necessary commodities/utensils. Will book again when in area.

Vamos falar melhor.
Clean. Spacious. Not great communications about location, etc. Seem to forget that jet lagged people might not have much battery left either in the phone or the brain after an overseas flight making it stressful to connect when the location given isn't the actual location of the room.itherwuse really great.

The house is nice and the price for the 2 bedroom was reasonable. The view was nice on a hill. Wifi was good. Amenities were fine with stove, refrigerator, microwave, coffee maker and more. The house was clean. The only issue we saw was that one of the walk in closets had mold on the walls so we could not use it. Also hot (or even warm) water was not available all the time. I think the boiler was too small for the number of people they had in the house. Communication was good and check in was seamless. Overall good experience and I would stay there again.

This place is one of its kind, spacious, with a kitchen and a backyard. There’s no front desk, but the communication was clear and in time. It is close to attractions, restaurants and transportations.

The only place closer is the palace itself
Had an awesome time in Sintra. 18a Rue St. Gil Vincente is in the heart of the Historic Center. The place was well equipped, although the spiral staircase was a bit hard to navigate. Even had a view of the palace chimneys.
We would definately stay again. Sintra is the most beautiful city, and our little Casa made it very special.

Great apartment near Sintra Palace
This me apartment was perfect for a quick stay and very close to everything in Sintra and easy to walk to all the sites or catch a ride in the town center. The communication was also very good. The only minor issue was parking but that is difficult at any location in the Sintra city center.

Regret returning to this hotel!
While we had a lovely experience here several years ago, this time it was awful. False advertising, poor communication. Was requested to put soiled TP in bucket, rather than flush. No Wi-Fi available and mattress was two inches off of floor. No box spring. And our accommodations were labeled “superior” It was a nightmare stay of a weekend! We would have gone to another hotel, except everything was booked for the weekend.Thankfully, we still loved Sintra!

Recently remodeled every thing was new and very clean. So close to everything. Shops and trails at the doorstep. Perfect place but Sintra is a very wet place and there was black mold on areas not recently remodeled (window sills and deep in the pipes). They provided covers to keep the smell from the pipes from being terrible. My daughter is very sensitive to mold and was very sick while we were there. This is not a criticism of the property. It was clear they worked very hard to have everything be very clean and new. I think this is a problem with Sintra. I personally would stay in the apartment again if I didn’t bring my mold sensitive child.

Inconvenient
The view from the apartment was stunning and it was well-located to the historic centre. But be prepared to park your car elsewhere as you cannot access the apartment (even to drop off your luggage) until 7 pm. The owner had told us that we could show our reservation to the authorities and that they would let us through to drop our luggage and then park elsewhere but they turned us away and we had to park far away. The walk up to the house is very steep and narrow with cars coming in the opposite direction. My daughter got hit by a car’s side mirror. It hit her backpack so nothing serious but it was not fun. Another member of our party has mobility issues so that was also challenging. We ended up leaving a day early. Definitely reconsider this location if you have someone with mobility issues (small children or elderly as well.)

Great location, cute place with kitchen. However, there were issues. We just wish the communication for check-in would have been better, so we could have planned fully before arriving in Portugal. There appears to be a gap between Expedia and the property management. When trying to workout the check-in, the property management kept referring to an email that I never received for initiating the check-in process. Despite our attempts to get information before the day (having also informed the management that we would not have cell service/wifi on the day), the code to get in was not sent until the day and we were provided 2 different codes just a couple of hours before check-in. Without the kindness of a stranger to use their hotspot, we would not have gotten the correct code. I would not suggest this as an option if you don't have a data plan while in Portugal. The free city wifi that the management suggested we use does not always work. Also there was a bright sensor light in the hall that would go off if someone moved in an adjacent room, which was disruptive to our sleep. The shower water was also either too cold or too hot (hard to get the right temperature).

Estadia perfeita
A estadia correu lindamente. Adorámos o apartamento e a localização. Muito limpo, tudo muito organizado e até os eletrodomesticos estão praticamente novos. O nosso apt tinha maq.de louça, frigorifico, microondas, fogao, maquina de cafe delta, torradeira... detergente de louça e pastilhas para maquina. perfeito para as nossas necessidades. A casa tem AC na sala e quarto. Para uma estadia de 2 noites tivemos acesso/por pessoa a 4 toalhas de rosto, 4 de banho. Tinha secador de cabelo e gel de banho. Tv com canais por cabo. Nós adorámos. Compramos o cabaz de pequeno almoço que foi dado a conhecer no check in online e tambem adorámos!!! A casa tinha um pátio com acesso a um jardim espetacular. (Coloco fotos das varias vistas do apartamento). Realço que ficamos no apt ADRAGA
