We loved our family stay at the Quinta de Sao Thiago. The historic of the place, the gardens and our kids loved the swimming pool. Theresa was very helpful and generous. Breakfast was remarkable. The roads to get there was a little of an adventure but so very worth it. Recommend this place if you have a event or just for few days like us. Thank you Theresa for having us.
What a magical place! It’s like you stepped back in time when you arrive at this Quinta, surrounded by lush gardens. The woman who owns it grew up there and has so many fascinating stories to share about the house. Although it’s down a narrow gravel road, it’s easily accessible by car, Uber, and even Uber eats if you decide to order in. On the day we were without a car, were able to walk to the main road where there is a bus service to a lot of the sites in Sintra—though it was hard to leave the enchanting property. And my 8 year old son wanted me to mention that he found a lizard in the bathroom and had a lot of fun and the lizard was super cute.
Loved this place! Beautiful property and so much to see within the property itself. Breakfast was amazing and price was fair. We got the suite and the room view was beautiful. Definitely coming back here!
It is a rare pleasure to be able to stay in a five-hundred year-old property which has been continuously inhabited and whose owners have created and maintained such beautiful landscaping. Our host was gracious and interested to share the property's history (and that of her family) which enriched our stay.
The hotel doesn't exist as a hotel. just a sign outside. They stole my money. You cant get there by car. No lighting outside. Just a building. Do not book with this ghost hotel.
a nice hotel set back in the lushness of sintra, however it is quite inconvenient to get from here to main areas. The road is a 1 way 30 minute loop even though you are only 5 mins drive in the other direction. And if you do not have your own vehicle, requesting an uber was a real pain as the uber app did not recognize the 1 way road so was trying to have drivers go the opposite way for a 5 minute drive which only paid a couple euro. Of course, no driver would go out that way and do a 30 minute loop for only a couple euro.
Nice spot, just be sure to have your own vehicle or be willing to walk 3 km to the area of town.
We checked in and didn’t have a very smooth check in process. The place was musty and windows couldn’t be kept open easily because of bugs. No air conditioning. We went out for dinner and returned. Once in bed, we discovered our two rooms were INFESTED with bed bugs. In the few hours we were in bed before realizing, my family suffered hundreds of bites. After this, we couldn’t get a hold of anyone who spoke English or the host for many hours and eventually decided to leave to go elsewhere because we were offered a different room and didn’t feel comfortable staying here. We asked for a refund and didn’t receive one. We spent $500 for a room we never slept a full night in and the host never even bothered to contact us back after we left a note. We noticed bedbugs CRAWLING on the walls in certain places. This was the worst experience I’ve had in any accommodation after 5 trips to Europe. Totally ruined our Sintra trip as we weren’t able to find another hotel in the area. I would not recommend the service or hotel to anyone and I am having to contact my credit card company to attempt to get out money back because Expedia wouldn’t help us out either/honour a refund. I have never written a negative review, but please save your money and skip this place!
Het is even zoeken naar het pad (laatste 800 meter), maar het is zeer de moeite waard! De quinta is een verborgen parel, prachtig gelegen, met een inrichting die de historische sfeer doet herleven. Het woongedeelte is een sprookje op zich, de kamers netjes en met oog voor detail ingericht. De gastvrouw is heel vriendelijk en hulpvaardig, ze gaf ons een rondleiding door het hele gebouw en vertelde bij het houtvuur boeiend over de familiegeschiedenis en het huis. Vooral de bibliotheek met geheime deur en daarachter de kapel deden ons denken aan een film. Het ontbijt was heerlijk met o.a. zelfgebakken pastéis de nata en warme broodjes. Ons verblijf in Quinta de Sao Thiago overtrof onze verwachtingen! We hopen snel terug te komen. Dank voor de gastvrijheid en de persoonlijke aandacht!
Es una casa antigua con escaso mantenimiento que recibe huéspedes, no tiene infraestructura hotelera. El acceso es terrible, en camino de tierra. Fue una hermosa casa quinta, que está sin conservar..

Très beaux jardins mais attention à la nuit d’insomnie à cause des moustiques. Dispositif anti-moustiques à lampe complètement inefficace.
This facility is not a "Hotel" as advertised on Expedia. The brick and dirt path leading to the hotel in only suitable for goats. In some places it is barely wide enough for a small car to pass. The rooms smell of mildew and there is no central heating. The photo on Expedia is misleading since it was taken from the back of the property. The front entry is an old wood double door with high walls off the goat path that passes for an entry road to the property. The beds have to be over 30 years old and you will feel every spring when sleeping. The facility is up in the high hills over Sintra in an area infested with mosquitoes. The owner has a note in every room telling to you use insecticides and then sleep in the room after spraying. No one speaks English except the owner who never showed during our stay. The staff of two were very kind and did their best under these deplorable conditions.
GPS is not correct for Sintra since the town changed their street directions years ago and GPS has never been updated. Trying to find this facility without GPS is a nightmare. We found an Uber driver at a filling station who was kind enough to guide us to the access road off of the high hill road leading to the property. We had to leave after two days there due to the horrible conditions of our room. Presently, still fighting them over the charges. This listing should not be on Expedia. The advertising is inaccurate and misleading.
Très belle maison ancienne avec piscine à l’écart de la ville, personnel sympathique.
Attention chemin d’accès à l’hôtel plus proche d’une piste que d’une route.

Fantastiskt ställe! Underbar miljö men svårt att få kontakt med personalen. Rikt på karaktär.
Après une recherche acharnée de cette Quinta, nous arrivons dans un domaine extraordinaire, dans un écrin de verdure, hors du temps voisin du Palais de Monserate. La qualité du petit déjeuner nous fait oublier l'absence de Wifi et télévision dans les chambres. Accueil chaleureux en français.
VERY difficult to find. One way streets everywhere and google maps and car GPS could not find it. Thank goodness for a toir guide we came across nt chance.
House was Old and worn. Electrical plugs hanging out of the wall or lamps with patched up exposed wires.
Small rooms, not very clean. Smelled musty.
Nice for the experience of a country house. But would not want to stay for long.
The staff, while truly lovely people, couldn't speak a word of English - they didn't even know what "Breakfast" meant. I don't speak any other language and therefore do feel bad for criticising Portuguese people for not speaking English in Portugal - I realise that's a bit hypocritical - but I think if you're running a BnB you should at least know some basics like breakfast, bed, shower etc.
The hotel itself was extremely unique and quite beautiful, as was the surrounding area. However if you have lots of equipment (like I did) - it just isn't practical; lots of tight corridors and stairs.
The room was actually damp - there was a distinct damp smell in it and the beds were noticeably damp feeling. I even left a piece of paper out one night and the next morning it was oddly soft.
I wouldn't say that I would never visit again - but not on a business trip, and I would definitely request a different room.
The place is amazing. After our stay a film crew was coming to make a movie. It like stepping back in time. The hostess was wonderful. We has a traditional Portuguese dinner one night with other guests in the dining room. The only drawback was the location. My daughter and I got off the train in Sintra and did not rent a car. When the taxi driver found out were we were going she did not want to take us and I could see why. As the crow flies we were 5 miles from Sintra but the road to the hotel is like a goat path the last 500 metres. If I would have known I would have rented a car. Otherwise a wonderful stay. The wifi was iffy and only available in the library. Breakfast was great and a super pool was on the premises
Hotel muy rustico, lejos de todo ideal para desconectar, no hay tv ni wi-fi aun que diga que si.
Buen desayuno casero 100%, zumo natural y comida recien echa.
Lo unico que tiene cerca es el palacio de montserrat.
Lo unico negativo es que no dan cenas cuando estas bastante aislado
Underbart, fantastiskt ställe. Mitt i ingenstans ligger detta dröm ställe Huset andas historia. Naturen är oerhört vacker. Ett ställe där själen vilar. Ni som letar efter lugn och ro och bra service , till er recommenderar jag varmt detta ställe
Schwer zu finden, aber mit gutem Navigator kein Problem. Der letzte Kilometer zum Hotel entspricht einem typischen Waldweg. Aber die Qualität des Ziels entschädigt den etwas mühseligen Anfahrtsweg. Meines Erachtens nur mit Auto erreichbar.
