Casa das Hortênsias - Charming Guest House

The stay was amazing,room was cozy, Alberto's recommendations were absolutely awesome.... would come back in a heartbeat. Thank you

I could have not been more pleased with my 8 day stay at Camelia Guesthouse. When I booked, I wanted an authentic neighborhood experience, and that is exactly what I got. The property was beautifully landscaped with a view of Pena Palace and the Moor Castle. It was within walking distance to several restaurants and small shops. The beautiful host family was friendly, warm, and accommodating, easily communicating in English. The room was clean and comfortable. There was a separate outdoor space adjacent to the room, giving a second way to enter the ground floor room. It was perfect for enjoying a evening glass of wine. Breakfast was served on a reserved table each morning. There was more than enough food that represented a Portuguese meal. If I ever return to Sintra, I would definitely want to stay there again.

A casa é muito confortável, num local tranquilo. Excelente estadia

The room had a very strong perfume fragrance to it. That is very hard for people who are sensitive to that. The bathroom facilities are not great. I was happy I only booked one night. There is no breakfast served and the laundry facilities you have to pay them to do your laundry. I would not stay there again.

Beware: there is no on-site parking, laundry facilities in room, or breakfast (all were listed online). These were search criteria we used to find this property. We are traveling Portugal by car and safe parking and laundry were important to us. We arrived to find the only parking available was street parking - yes, it was free, but it was not on-site as advertised. The online posting said this property has washer and dryer in every unit. Not only is this not true, there was no laundry facilities available for guests. But they did offer to wash a load of laundry for us for 20 euro!! Lastly, there is no breakfast provided as advertised.
