Hotel Quinta de São Thiago (Sintra)

A Guest House located in the beautiful hills of Sintra, a UNESCO protected area. Our goal is to provide our guests with a relaxed, comfortable and unforgettable stay.

We have now available 8 Bedrooms for acommodation.

The house was built in the XVI century, and our clients can enjoy the most exclusive and quiet calm of Sintra, using our swimming pool and relax in our beautiful gardens, with views to the sea and nearby Monserrate Palace. Aside from the gardens and pool the house boasts a large librabry, chapel, and various sitting areas. There is a Tennis court and for those that like music the owner of the house, Teresa Braddell, will play the piano for you.

Within Sintra there are many Palaces and interesting Gardens to visit. The city of Lisbon is half an hour by car, and beaches and the resort of the Cascais/Estoril, where there is a Casino and plenty of night life, can also be easily reached.

Most of our guests enjoy their stay so much that they often return, because they are treated like friends, not just as simple guests.

We have received many people from across the world including Burt Lencaster. He liked is stay here so much that he was encouraged to write the following words about this wonderful and charming place:

'I am sitting here in another time - another century - just discouvering a peace and calm that it's like magic - it's a new experience for me, and perhaps I will be permitted to come back to see if it is really there and not an illusion.'

Also:

'This crew from California enjoyed it all so much this family entertained us with such a gracious touch we lingered at the table longing so to stay knowing well how soon, will have to go away, we'll cherish all these moments of warmth and beauty here, vistas, flowers, treasures - make memories we'll hold dear.'
