Casa da Estefânea

Such a cute, friendly, well-maintained small hotel with a lot of really nice touches. And a fantastic breakfast to boot!

Everything was exceptional. Great

The stay was excellent. I loved the hotel and all its trappings. Loved it loved it loved it!

Charming

We had the most special stay here and wish we could have stayed longer. The property is so clean and the attention to details are incredible. Douglas was more than helpful with any of our needs and a great help with dinner reservations as well as entrance tickets to the major attractions. I would highly recommend staying here and enjoying the hospitality.

Nice, nice, nice. Very accomodating and comfy. Beautiful, peaceful decorating. Would recommend in a heartbeat but must know only very limited public parking. Especially on weekend. Less stress if take a train from Lisbon and plan around that.

Everything about our experience was exceptional from the moment we arrived. We were warmly welcomed by Douglas, who went out of his way to ensure our stay was as comfortable and enjoyable as possible. The room and the property were exactly as pictured: clean, spacious, and tastefully decorated. We appreciated the complimentary drinks in the minibar and especially loved the view from our window, which overlooked a peaceful "Quinta" where sheep grazed each morning—an idyllic and memorable moment. Street parking nearby was easy to find and cheap (Rua José Antunes dos Santos.) Access to the building and room was seamless, with entry codes sent in advance via email. Communication through WhatsApp was also very efficient—any questions we had were quickly and clearly answered. Breakfast each morning was a highlight: freshly squeezed orange juice, homemade cakes, fruits, eggs, cold cuts, a full coffee bar. The small details really stood out: fresh flowers on the tables, replaced daily by Douglas, and soft fado music playing in the background, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. Complimentary evening treats available until midnight! (Porto wine, small pastries, fruit, and beer) —perfect after a long day exploring Sintra. On our final night, when I casually mentioned the Porto wine had run out, Douglas generously gifted us a bottle as a parting gesture—a thoughtful and memorable way to end our stay. We would absolutely return and highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area.

We appreciated that they contacted us via WhatsApp which allowed for quick and fluid communication. Anything we needed there was a response in less than 5 minutes. They kindly sent a map of nearby free parking and we were able to secure a spot less than 2 minutes walking from the property. Check in was easy and the property absolutely precious! Our room was spacious, spotless and filled with amenities such as a mini bar with beer and juice and soda free of charge, hats to use during our stay, robes and slippers and plenty of hangers, which I find important. Bathroom was stocked as well. A special touch about this place is the lounge area they have downstairs with free snacks, coffee, tea, beer and the local favorite port wine to be enjoyed by guests in the afternoon till 12am. We were able to walk to dinner as well as the center is about 5 minutes walking from this place. All in all, would highly recommend!

When compared to similar properties, this property is overpriced for what it is and where it is. Parking was a major problem.

Great property and great host. Rooms are nice size

This property way exceeded my expectations! From the welcome area, snacks, port wine & beer, breakfast! Our room had every detail, and was very comfortable! I would definitely recommend and go back!!

Wonderful and welcoming host. Thank you, Douglas, for the hospitality and the information about the area and the Jeep tour. The breakfasts were delicious, as were the afternoon treat times. It was a very comfortable and unique place to stay. It seemed truly Portuguese.

Very nice B&B, very confortable and excellent breakfast. Douglas was very helpful to organize our visit to main attractions.

We had a wonderful stay at this Boutique hotel. Loved having access to the laundry room (open 08h00-20h00). The morning breakfast and afternoon snacks & drinks were amazing, the staff was friendly and accommodating. Management prefers communication through WhatsApp.

Just outside the historic part of city which was great because it is easy to walk into town but you don't get stuck in traffic No one to greet you at entrance or desk, but very easy check in process Wonderful breakfast with fresh fruit, eggs, yogurt, meat, cheese, bread, cake, local pastries and coffee and then afternoon always has free beer, port and pastries Overall clean, convenient and lovely, but not luxury

Great location in Sintra with nice rooms, common areas and other amenities. The laundry appliances do need to be cleaned but other than that, our short stay was wonderful. Breakfast was delicious and the complimentary wine and beer was a nice touch.

Douglas, the property manager was awesome and so helpful. Everything was well maintained. So close to some many attractions, very walkable. I would stay here again. Loved it

Check in was a nightmare! There’s nobody to check you in at the property and they didn’t send us a code for the door. I had to jump the 6 foot fence to get in and speak to a maid who didn’t speak English. I would not return to this place.

Easy check in, spacious and clean. Close to resaturants. Really nice area. We parked on the street overnight and it was about €2-3 for 10 hrs. Overall really nice stay and would come back!

Arriving into Sintra we were extremely disappointed with the check in process. Prior to arriving we did not receive any instructions on check-in and had to borrow locals phone in order to contact the property group. Despite calling multiple times staff did not answer our calls and it was extremely frustrating to get into our room. Although the check in process was bad the hotel was nice. Rooms were clean and staff working in the kitchen were extremely friendly. I would recommend this hotel if not for the poor management.
