I love this place - it has character, a great location, and feels like a little piece of old school glamour, albeit rough round the edges in places. This was a repeat visit after six years away. The breakfast was lovely, the property is really special. We stayed in a room away from the main house and had our own little outdoor area - slightly tired, but then the character of the place makes up for this, it feels so much more charming than soulless chain hotels.

Aside from arriving early and a bit of confusion with the front enterance our stay was beautiful, unique and wonderful. We loved being in Sintra when the tourists had not arrived yet for the day; it made us appreciate its beauty and the special aspect of staying in town all the better. The hotel met our expectations and added an extra special quaint aspect to our trip to Portugal.

Casa Holstein Quinta de São Sebastião is a beautiful survivor of the golden age of Sintra mansions. The grounds are stunning and the location is fantastic. The morning breakfast was a continental type of high quality ingredients, however after a few day it did get tedious. The hotel is in need of a major refreshment, most of the pretty antiques in our room were sagging and stained. We really enjoyed the ensuite bath and extra room that we had access too. The staff was friendly and English was not a problem, however they will sometimes disappear. I think like many small hotels the staff is stretched thin. Our initial plan was to spend the week in Sintra, but when the internet failed after our first night we decided to move to Lisbon and we left on Thursday. Although the internet failure was not necessarily the hotels fault we found it to be a deal breaker as everything in the Sintra area requires planning and timed tickets. The staff was very understanding and let us check out three days early with a refund. I would stay again, its a beautiful survivor of the grand mansions of Sintra with a great location and romantic grounds and views of the wonderful Sintra area.

Nice quiet location in a beautiful setting. Great Tavern nearby! :)

Site enchanteur. Belle chambre. Tranquille et confortable. Accueil chaleureux et très bon déjeuner

The entire property here felt like a fairytale. The staff are wonderful and the room I stayed in was very charming and cozy. Definitely check this hotel out if you’re headed to Sintra!

Swimming pool was to cold to try to early in the season.

wir waren zum zweiten Mal im Casa Holstein und fühlten uns immer sehr wohl und waren wie schon beim ersten Mal sehr sehr zufrieden

A little confused upon arrival…. Difficult to determine how to access the property. However, provided you follow the instructions provided, someone will open the gate. Parking was secure (and plentiful). We were able to leave our bags early in the morning and went back later to check in…. They even took our bags to our room. Property is perfectly situated… short walk to restaurants, train station and attractions. Staff were amazing, and breakfast was phenomenal.

Fun place with lots of character. A former estate. Well located near center of Sintra. Quiet with lots of charm

Ligger vackert i Sintra med en fantastisk trädgård. Historiens vingslag överallt och man finner ro på området. Dock skulle rummen behöva uppdaterat och renoveras, det känns som att det är lite eftersatt. Personalen hade lite svårt med engelskan, så man hade lite dålig kontakt med dem.

The hotel is very quiet and peaceful, yet located close enough to historic center. Lots of nature at your footsteps. The breakfast is perfect for light eaters. The room is what is expected from a historical inn. The only downside is the availability of on site staff. This was not a major problem but when arriving you need a gate code to access parking.

This hotel was the best during my 3 week stay in Portugal. What a beautiful, romantic and lovely property!

This is one of the most beautiful hotels we’ve ever stayed at. We were sick so we spent most of our time in the hotel room and it was so comfortable and quiet. The staff was so nice and even moved us to another room when there was a leaky roof. The breakfast was yummy. I would recommend this hotel to anyone. Do be aware that it’s quite a walk uphill when you leave.

Couldn’t reccomend more. A true fairytale.

Great breakfast, rooms and parking!

It's a step back in time to an earlier era. Over two hundred years of history. It's it's a must stay location in Sintra. stayocation

Quarto encantador,espaçoso,confortável , tudo perfeito. Café da manhã excelente. A única coisa que gostaria de pontuar é o acesso ao hotel , tinha visto um comentário aqui que me ajudou muito. O GPS te manda para a rua , mas qdo vc chega, acha que não pode seguir, mas siga adiante , que é uma rua sem saída e lá está a portão do hotel

Beautiful boutique hotel. Wonderful staff. Very unique and historic property. Little slice of heaven. Breakfast was adequate but not overly impressive. Would definitely stay again

It was an amazing experience. It is a shame that it is further to Quinta da Regaleira than what Expedia advertises but it is still walking distance, just mot 10 min and rather 30 minutes. The staff was extremely nice and the breakfast delicious
