I had a wonderful stay here. The grounds are absolutely beautiful—spacious, peaceful, and surrounded by nature with amazing views in every direction. The pool area feels private and secluded, perfect for relaxing in the sun. My room was very cute and homey, comfortable in a way that made it feel more like a retreat than just a hotel stay. On top of that, the staff were incredibly kind and welcoming, always making me feel taken care of. Overall, it’s the perfect spot if you’re looking for a quiet escape with charm and character. Highly recommend!

This wonderful location, though potentially challenging to find initially due to road closures when relying on navigation devices like Google, offers a secure and complimentary on-site parking option. Upon your arrival, you'll be greeted by exceptionally friendly staff who are more than eager to extend a warm welcome and guide you to your accommodation nestled amidst serene gardens. During your stay, don't forget to say hello to Oscar, the delightful resident peacock, known to make occasional appearances during breakfast on the dining room patio. Be sure to treat yourself to the delectable cooked breakfast and freshly brewed coffee. When you're ready for dinner, it's just a short, leisurely stroll to the town center, where you can explore various dining options and even catch transportation up to the castle, or opt for a scenic walk if you're feeling energetic. A simple but lovely gesture during your stay is to exchange morning greetings with fellow guests as you head to breakfast. A friendly demeanor can add an extra layer of charm to this already delightful accommodation.

We absolutely loved our stay! The views were stunning, the setting was peaceful and private, and having easy parking made everything in town so convenient. From the moment we checked in until the moment we left, everything felt easy and welcoming. We’d come back in a heartbeat — this place is a true hidden gem!

We enjoyed our stay at Casa Holstein. It's a little tricky to get to, just keep going down the hill through the big green gates. There is lots of room for parking inside the gates. It's very old but very well maintained. The surrounding property must be lovely in spring and summer. The Royal Suite is very nice. There are very good restaurants nearby. Use the nearby bus service to get to the palaces. Driving to them is not helpful because the roads are closed to personal cars. The staff at Casa Holstein was excellent!

A quaint and charming place to stay. Great parking. Easy to walk to the historic district and easy access to train/bus station. Property needs some overall general upkeep. The shower leaked flooding the bathroom floor as the caulking was missing. The sealing strip was moldy and needs replacing. Everything else was very clean. Breakfast was ok. Pastries and breads delicious but vegetables old and dry. Awesome to have a carafe of coffee and hot milk to enjoy a nice cuppa or 2 in the morning.

Overall a good location, spacious room and a property with lots of potential. Staff was efficient, though front desk was not consistently staffed. Continental breakfast was nice & well organized but not spectacular. Our shower had a broken door and the room could have used a good cleaning, as the floors were gritty. Be aware that if you have a room on the ground level, the building is not well insulated so you will hear every footstep should a guest be in the second floor room above you. A very good location and excellent choice for independent travellers.

Great stay, great breakfast. However, breakfast not served until 9am - that’s too late for tourists planning to take in a full day of Sintra’s many historic sites. Plus, no coffee available in the room, just tea, so early risers like me have to leave the premises to seek out a cafe, or wait…. The room we stayed in (#7) felt very damp and humid, and running the A/C didn’t seem to help much. Finally, room #7 needs a new small fridge - current one gurgles and hums very loudly and pts locally non-stop. Overall though, a beautiful hotel and room as well as surrounding gardens, and attentive staff.

While we got notice in advance that the "bell at the gate" was not working and you would need to call to get someone to open the gate, it tool multiple calls to get anyone to answer the phone. When we asked about the time for breakfast we were told 9 am, and that was too late for us due to tour plans, but actually the area for breakfast opened earlier and we could have availed ourselves of the option if we had been told the correct time. The bathroom was super cold and also had no fan for ventilation causing condensation on the floors and tile walls making floors slippery and grout of tile subject to mold. Definitely needs updating. Location as good but the reception info on how to walk into Sintra Center was lacking. Aside from the location this would rank as a forgettable stay.

The property is very peaceful and surrounded by beautiful vegetation. A nice peacock kept us company. The breakfast was delicious and the food was fresh. Location was great, walking distance from the city center. We enjoyed our two night stay on the property! We hope to return soon.

Nuno was excellent helping us find our way into the parking lot due to an accident at one of the gates. It was raining and he came out to show us in and got extremely wet. He is certainly an asset to the company, nothing was too much trouble for him, He also helped us with a parking ticket we picked up in town. He is certainly a wonderful person and I hope Casa Holstein recognizes that.

Location

Central and walkable to Sintra’s historic sights, transport, and restaurants, while remaining quiet and secluded. Finding the entrance can be tricky due to limited signage, steep approaches or closures, misleading GPS, and one note that Quinta da Regaleira is farther than advertised.

Quinta muito bonita e agradável, com excelente localização, bom atendimento. Um grande problema que tivemos, foi para encontrar o local por falta te previa orientação e ausência completa de sinalização do local! Não existe placas com o nome, você passa pelo portão nas estreitas vias e não vê nenhuma indicação, o Waze e Google maps avisam que você chegou ao seu destino depois que vc já passou pela entrada e está praticamente entalado entre dois muros e não tem como retornar, e foi assim que encontramos outro casal que também estavam a procura da mesma Quinta. Para retornar ao ponto, a volta é quilometrica. Nos dois portões existem apenas umas plaquinhas metálicas de menos de 10 centímetros com o nome da Casa Hostein. E no final das contas a localização é bem central exatamente atrás da Câmara Municipal. Falta de orientação prévia e sinalização no local!
