Across reviews, Águamel Sintra, Boutique Guest House stands out for its central Sintra location near sights and transport, friendly and accommodating staff, consistently praised breakfast, and comfortable, often spacious rooms with charming decor and some balconies or patios.
Guests appreciate thoughtful touches like luggage storage, refreshments, and flexible help for early departures. A few drawbacks recur: hard-to-spot signage and self-entry at check-in, stairs and no elevator, occasional street noise, and some rooms without or with faulty air conditioning. Parking can be tricky, and a car is generally unnecessary in this walkable area. Expect a charming, very central guesthouse with warm service and a lively setting.

The breakfast was great, the service was excellent, amazing area, lots of restaurants, museums, heritage sites, gardens, and stores close by. The rooms themselves are cozy and cute: showers, private toilette, sink, and she provided a charging converter. Cake, tea, and water readily available. Be prepared for a lot of stairs. 10/10 stay. No AC.

The breakfast was awesome but the room was very very disappointing; very small with stained glass for the shower and stained glass for the toilet with no fan. No air conditioning with a little fan that doesn’t push air at all. The bed is about 3 inches above floor meaning that it’s like your almost sleeping on the floor. Wasn’t pleased at all with that type of room… one thing that was nice also, is that we were able to bring our luggage to the reception before our check-in since we were already in Sintra

The property is in an excellent location for walking around Sintra, whilst not being in the middle of the tourist area. The room was quiet, large and beautifully decorated and clean. We stayed in room 101 which had a balcony which was lovely to sit on in the spring sunshine. They kindly catered for us as vegans for breakfast. The people at the guest house were lovely and it's a bonus that you get to use the kitchen to hot drinks. We had a wonderful time, thank you.

Nice hotel in the middle of the attractions and cute shops in Sintra, but nevertheless quiet at night. Clean, comfortable, beautifully decorated, with a nice touch of having refreshments available, especially the chocolate cake. Breakfast was fresh and varied, and the standard Portuguese fare. BUT check-in was horrible due to lack of signage. Using street signs are already difficult in Portugal because they are hard to find and read. Although we had a map app telling us we were right on top of the hotel, we could not find it...because the hotel does not have legible signage visible from a reasonable distance. We were up and down the streets and stairs for ~20 minutes w/ our luggage, even asking nearby shop owners for directions (who could not provide any). My wife happened to walk up to what looked like a piece of paper on a door on a residence, which finally indicated the hotel's presence. My attached photo, taken from the walkway, should prove the inadequate/non existent commercial signage. So book the hotel for its convenience and quality, but when checking in, just look for a piece of paper on a door, which will indicate you have happened upon your accommodation.

Really comfortable hotel with beautiful views from the balcony. Our room (think it was Orange Blossom) was beautifully decorated and well provisioned. The honesty bar was a nice touch and very useful as there weren't any late night convenience stores that we found.

The property is well located to sites and restaurants. However there is an outdoor bar just outside property and you have to listen to drunks until wee hours of the morning. We couldn’t shut our windows because the air conditioning was not working and it was hot. Bring earplugs!

The best place if you want to visit Quinta da Regaleira, Pena Palace and Moorish Castle. Steps away from restaurants and shops. The bus stop is right next to the hotel. The service received was the best of all the hotels visited in Portugal. They helped us with everything, from before we arrived with specific instructions. The breakfast was very good. They kept our bags before and after check in so we felt comfortable visiting Cascais as well and returning to the hotel for our bags. The room was super comfortable and very nice. I would definitely stay at Aguamel again.

Incredible location in the middle of all the restaurants and shops, easy pickup/drop off for taxi/uber/bolt super close, 10 minute walk to Quinta da Tegaleira and Initiation Well, 5 minute walk to National Palace, pretty much across the street from the trail/path to the Moorish Castle which was about 45 minutes up. Lovely complementary light breakfast until noon (fresh fruit, ham, prosciutto, cheeses, cereal, yogurt, bread, croissants, cakes, juices, coffee, tea). The host is so nice and knowledgeable and helpful. The room was gorgeous. Very spacious. Balcony and window that open to let in a beautiful breeze. One of the comfiest beds I’ve ever slept in. I can’t say enough good things about this boutique hotel. Book it! You won’t regret it.

On our last day, she even accomodated her schedule to our early checked out and helped us carry our luggage to the taxi station. She made our stay enjoyable and very pleasant. Her great customer service, warm personality and joyful demeanor are the reasons why we would like to come back to Sintra. Please take great care of her because she is amazing !!

The location is near the free parking lot if you are lucky to find one at right time. We arrived just a few minuses after the check in time. The door was locked. No one there. I have to use my cell phone to make International call on the numbers on the door. No one answer the call until I called 2nd phone number on the door. She gave me the code to go in. This supposed a guest house but the hostess do not bother to shows up to let guests in. It does not feel that guests are welcomed.

The best place if you want to visit Quinta da Regaleira, Pena Palace and Moorish Castle. Steps away from restaurants and shops. The bus stop is right next to the hotel. The service received was the best of all the hotels visited in Portugal. They helped us with everything, from before we arrived with specific instructions. The breakfast was very good. They kept our bags before and after check in so we felt comfortable visiting Cascais as well and returning to the hotel for our bags. The room was super comfortable and very nice. I would definitely stay at Aguamel again.

A wonderful oasis and a perfect shelter from the crowds in Sintra. A wonderful host, delightful rooms and a delicious breakfast spread. Perfect location for the village centre and easy to get an Uber or Tok Tok to Pena Palace. Restaurant opposite was an outstanding lunch choice

We loved this little hotel in the heart of historic Sintra! Just steps to all of the shipping and the lovely National Palace. Also right next to the bus stop for Pena Palace. I feel like we lucked out! It is charming. Highly recommend!

Wonderful location in the heart of Sintra with easy access to the trail to the Castle and Palace. The room was one of the nicest we stayed in during our trip to Portugal. Perfect! We Uber'd and would not recommend bringing a rental car to Sintra.

Incredible location in the middle of all the restaurants and shops, easy pickup/drop off for taxi/uber/bolt super close, 10 minute walk to Quinta da Tegaleira and Initiation Well, 5 minute walk to National Palace, pretty much across the street from the trail/path to the Moorish Castle which was about 45 minutes up. Lovely complementary light breakfast until noon (fresh fruit, ham, prosciutto, cheeses, cereal, yogurt, bread, croissants, cakes, juices, coffee, tea). The host is so nice and knowledgeable and helpful. The room was gorgeous. Very spacious. Balcony and window that open to let in a beautiful breeze. One of the comfiest beds I’ve ever slept in. I can’t say enough good things about this boutique hotel. Book it! You won’t regret it.

An amazing location, close to everything. Parking was a distance and difficult to find. I would recommend using backpacks instead of luggage.

The property is in an excellent location for walking around Sintra, whilst not being in the middle of the tourist area. The room was quiet, large and beautifully decorated and clean. We stayed in room 101 which had a balcony which was lovely to sit on in the spring sunshine. They kindly catered for us as vegans for breakfast. The people at the guest house were lovely and it's a bonus that you get to use the kitchen to hot drinks. We had a wonderful time, thank you.
