Pendoa Sintra Collection-Soft Opening

What guests think

At Casa da Pendôa, travellers praise the very central, walkable setting in Sintra’s historic core, but many highlight difficult vehicle access and challenging parking that can mean uphill walks with luggage over cobbled, narrow streets.

Rooms are often spacious and comfortable, with very large beds, kitchenettes, and occasional views. Cleanliness is generally good, but there are recurring complaints about sewage or mold odors and maintenance issues like drains, toilets, or hot water. Service and check-in are mostly contactless via WhatsApp or codes; many found communication quick and helpful, while others struggled to reach staff or experienced code glitches that delayed entry. Overall, expect comfortable apartments and a largely self-service experience.

Locomoção dentro do Hotel bem difícil e sem acessibilidade alguma, muitas escadas e ambiente de corredores apertados e barulhentos. Facilidade na entrada com o código numérico para abrir a porta principal e também a do quarto - ponto positivo não se preocupar com chaves. A pía do banheiro tinha o ralo entupido e a água nunca descia. Uma tortura. A água ficava quente por pouco tempo e em seguida sempre fria, quase congelante. A localização é bem central, cerca de 5 minutos da praça principal da cidade. Porém mais uma vez, não há acessibilidade para o local.

Very nice stay in a two bedroom apartment on the bottom floor of the hotel. Staff were very communicative and nice and we had no trouble getting our access to the hotel and rooms set up before we arrived. Free luggage storage was super nice. Room itself is a little older but quite comfortable. They do a very thorough job cleaning before you arrive. There was a fridge, stove, espresso machine, hot water boiler, microwave, and dishwasher. Bathrooms were nice and spacious too, with water that got warm/hot fairlt quickly and consistently. Free use of the in-room and community washers and dryers was super nice. Location wise it's walkable from the main shopping area in Sintra and across the street from the National Palace of Sintra, and 15 minute fast walk from the Quinta de Regaleira. It is down a hill so be aware of that if you have trouble walking. We really enjoyed our stay here and would not hesitate to book here again if we returned to Sintra. (pS the Indian restaurant next door is SOLID! Highly recommend.)

Central location, but not that easy for our Uber driver to drop us off at the front door. It suited my partner and I, we like to walk. Lovely little perks of fresh fruit and muffins and porto in the common area. Laundry facility is available in the building. Nice size room and beds were comfortable

The hotel is located in a controlled area for non registered vehicles. So if you are taking Uber to and from this place, be sure to ask the hotel ahead of time for a “ entry code”. I wish the hotel would offer this information voluntarily. Without the code, our driver had to drop us off about a 10 min walk away and having to haul our luggage, it was not a fun way to begin our stay. The place is relatively good value. We particularly like the clean sheets and towels. The common laundry washer and dryer is a plus but was relatively busy during our stay.

It is a bit difficult to call Uber because they need a QR code to go inside the property. Once, they give us a QR code doesn't work, the car can't go inside, we need to carry our grocery walk back to the hotel, and it is a inclined road.

We had a rental car so needed a QR code to access the restricted zone to drop off our luggage. The one provided had already been used so we were told by security that we would need a new code. It took well over an hour to get while waiting in our car, at the gate, on a hill on a narrow road where we had to keep repositioning our car for others to get by. We never did get another code to re-enter to pick up our luggage. If you are going to drive, which is not recommended, driving anything larger than a small compact car will prove extremely difficult. Our compact barely fit down several narrow roads, including the one leaving this vacation rental (we had to pull our mirrors in). We saw an SUV have to back out down the hill and around a couple of tricky corners. The unit was highly scented and I had to search for the source and found a scented plug which I had to remove from the room and open all the windows. The location was convenient to dining and shops. Unfortunately the coffee shops don’t open until 9:30 so finding an early breakfast was unsuccessful. The bus and tuk tuks are only a 5 minute walk away and the train 15.

Absolut ikke 4 stjerner. Der lugter stærkt af skimmel, som også er tydeligt på badeværelset, kun overdøvet af en stærk lugt af rengøring eller duftpinde, nok for at kammuflere skimmellugten. Tjekkede ud med det samme og ind på et andet hotel, da det virker sundhedsskadeligt. Kan på ingen måde anbefales

While the historic downtown of Sintra is beautiful, this stay left a bit to be desired. The listing advertises parking as included, but what that actually means is that public parking is available a 20 minute walk away. In the apartment, both bathrooms toilets had broken flush buttons that worked only intermittently and on the last night of our stay, the air conditioning was not functioning normally. The host company could not be reached by telephone and has been unresponsive to my last email message.

The location of this property was a pro - for closeness to the centre of the historical area. A nice 2-5 min walk to all the local shops & restaurants (our favourite was Becco da Villa) and only a 10-15min walk to Quinta da Regaleria. It also provided picturesque views of the surrounding hills - see pictures. But definitely a con for parking - which is street parking only ~700m away. There is an option to get a code to enter the city to drop of your suitcases - saying the route is convoluted is an understatement. We tried to use Uber & Bolt - from the parking area to our room - with no luck. So we had to drag our suitcases for the ~700m over steep, cobbled streets. The Casa is very spacious - the bed was massive & comfortable. Everything else was clean and in good working condition - with the exception of the dated “a/c” unit. Even running on high - with the shutters closed - our room never cooled enough in our opinion. Overall we enjoyed our stay - minus the parking.

The LovelyStay team communicated everything we needed to know for our stay through WhatsApp, and made contactless check-in so easy. We arrived to Sintra earlier than our check-in time and used the safe and secure luggage storage area on the property. Overall I’m super impressed and happy with our stay at this property!

The room was great and the hotel staff was really nice. I would love to give them five stars but the situation getting to the hotel was such an inconvenience. If you’re taking a taxi or Uber transport from the airport, the only way that the driver can bring you up to the location with your luggage and bags is if you get a special QR code. Unfortunately, I was not able to get the QR code when I arrived even though I requested it and had to walk really far uphills with very heavy bags, causing injury to myself and damaging my bags. The Hotel did make sure to give me the QR code for my exit so that the driver could come to pick me up to take me to the airport so that did make it a little better also the issue with the codes. Sometimes they shut off so if you get in late, you have to call and get it reactivated but outside of this And honestly, even with this situation, it still didn’t make me not enjoy my stay here. The great thing also is that there is a number you can call or someone is available pretty much 24 seven to help right away all in all I’d say it was a great experience and I would stay here again, but I would definitely plan better to make sure that I didn’t have the same issue getting to the actual location from the airport

Call another line, took a long time to find my reservation. They don't have frontdesk, everything online, everything self serviced, but they did not email clearly upfront. Avoid this hotel for the trouble

The town is very old with narrow streets and is restricted to residents or people renting there. You are given a code to allow your car in, but for some reason, you can use it only once. We missed a turn causing us to leave the restricted area, then couldn't get back in. We had to call for help. They also require you to use WhatsApp which we weren't used to. On the last day we were to check out, we left the apartment to check on something and their code box locked us out. They had set our departure time for 1 AM instead of 11 AM. So, we had to call again to get back into the apartment. It was 9 AM and no one answered the phone. They need to come up with a better system.
